Yeah that will be interesting because the Ravens aren't loaded at WR. They probably have more talent at TE with Andres and Likely. I wouldn't mind seeing Trice on one of those guys, but it's not something they typically do with corners.

Ray, if the Steelers come out on offense: Connor Heyward, Pruitt and Patterson would you be surprised?

Ray Fittipaldo

2:52

You forgot Van Jefferson and Scotty Miller.

I would think a OC would want a lot of input from his QBs (and all the offensive players) when developing a game plan. Do they really get much input?

Ray Fittipaldo

2:52

I'm sure Wilson has some input, but the coaches have most of it.

Failed 4th and 1 at the end of the first half gave the Bengals an easy 3 points. Steelers lost by 2. It's your call...do you go for it or punt...not a 20/20 hindsight question. What would you have done there?

Ray Fittipaldo

2:53

Punt 100% of the time and I said that out loud in the press box.

Good afternoon Ray what do you think about the play of Najee Harris he has looked good

Ray Fittipaldo

2:54

His legs look at little tired, but I never question that guy's effort. He comes to play every game.

Hi Ray, I watched the podcast we were on today and you said Art needs to tell Mike to stay out of the offense game plan. I do not think Art will do that for I believe this is how he believe football should be. If doesn’t we would have made changes at the end of last year.

Ray Fittipaldo

2:55

I said that's what he should do, but I know Art doesn't do things like that. I said it for effect, to emphasize how poor the game plan against the Bengals was.

2:56

Do you think Fields is a better option than Wilson next year?

Ray Fittipaldo

2:56

I don't, but I think he could help this week against the Ravens with a package or two.

Isn't the stench worse now? And, are slow starts still unimportant?

Ray Fittipaldo

2:58

The Steelers have been outscored 40-3 in the first quarter during the losing streak. Tomlin didn't do it today, but I'm always baffled when he says starts don't matter. They obviously do especially when you crap the bed the way the Steelers have crapped the bed early in games recently.

Would the Steelers lose to the Chargers and/or Broncos if they meet in the playoffs? It seems like they improved and the Steelers did not. At all.

Ray Fittipaldo

2:58

I think the Steelers peaked December 1. It was all downhill from there.
