They haven't attempted a fake punt all year. And with an offense like the Steelers have punting is very important.

Is Tuitt done as a Steeler?
Ray Fittipaldo
2:49
That might be up to Tuitt and whether he desires to continue playing football. But yes, the Steelers have a decision to make on his future. And they can save some $ if the release him.

With this being Ben's last chance for another SB,  What quarter does he "rip out" the calls in his helmet and be Ben?
Ray Fittipaldo
2:50
If he wants to win? The first. Ha ha
Matt P Venice

Come on Ray. Tell us the Steelers have a “chance” against KC. Nothing to lose. Playing with passion and heart. Keep em to 13 until 4th Q then let Ben does his thing?
Ray Fittipaldo
2:51
I give the Steelers credit for making the playoffs with everything that has happened this year. They have a very good group of leaders and a head coach who is focused on one thing: the postseason. Not every team has this.

So much criticism of ray ray as a receiver over the season, I think he has performed way above expectations
Ray Fittipaldo
2:52
I think the issue is they're asking him to be a No. 2 WR when he's a No. 5 WR. He made some big plays on Sunday.
David

I am hoping the Steelers bring back JuJu, Edmunds and Haden (Haden for 1 year). What is our chance?
Ray Fittipaldo
2:54
Decent chance on Edmunds if he agrees to come back before he hits free agency. Same probably goes for JuJu. I don't think the WR market will be markedly better for him this year. But that'll be up to him. He had a chance to play for the Chiefs and Ravens last year and decided to play with the Steelers. I think Joe will go for one more big contract, and I don't think the Steelers will match it so I say no on him.
Ray
2:54
So, Let Ben, be Ben, out the gate?
Ray Fittipaldo
2:54
Why not? Can it be any worse than what we see?

Is there a perceived front runner between Khan and Hunt?  Who is most likely, and is it possible to retain both?
Ray Fittipaldo
2:55
Yes definitely possible to retain both and I think that's where it's headed.
SW Steel
2:55
Hey Ray!  Is Ebron still on the team?
Ray Fittipaldo
2:55
He's on IR.

We need to run the ball just to stay in this game- who is our offensive line Sunday night?
Ray Fittipaldo
2:56
Same as the Ravens game, I think, although Moore might have a chance to play. If that happens, Haeg goes back to the bench.
Dean
2:57
Hi Ray ….  can you tell me the whereabouts of Anthony Macfarlane jr?  And will this player stick with the Steelers?
Ray Fittipaldo
2:57
He's on the 53 but can't get a hat on Sundays. And it's not looking good for him to be around very much longer unless he shows something next summer.
Ed from WV
2:58
Do you find our play calling absolutely frustrating unless it is Ben taking control? How possibly could Canada be retained. Bring back Ken W.
Ray Fittipaldo
2:59
Whisenhunt would be a home run hire.
Matt P Venice
2:59
Hassenauer or Green this week? Even if Green is healthy, J.C. looks competent and has some push on DL.
Ray Fittipaldo
2:59
I think it will be Hassenauer.

Which player on offense needs to have a big game to beat KC?
Ray Fittipaldo
3:00
I would say Najee.

Is it an indictment of the coordinator when he sends the smallest receiver on the team on a deep route into double coverage and said receiver can't outrun the coverage, nor can he (or does he) fight for a contested ball?
Ray Fittipaldo
3:01
I put that on the QB too.
Cain

Are they testing players everyday for Covid?
Ray Fittipaldo
3:01
Only if they're unvaccinated.
Bill
3:02
Do you think in the future the steelers will draft smaller wide receivers who can get open instead of relying on bigger receivers who have to fight for the ball because they can't get open?
Ray Fittipaldo
3:03
They used to be good at drafting all types of receivers. Seems they missed with James Washington and Chase Claypool has a lot of growing to do if he's going to be a good receiver. They need some of that old magic when it comes to selecting these guys.
Rocky B

Who’s your pick to win the SB?
Ray Fittipaldo
3:04
I said Chiefs-Rams before the season. I still think the Chiefs can get there. Not sure about the Rams. Maybe Chiefs-Packers now and yes the Chiefs can definitely win it.
3:05
All right, folks. I have to get back to work. Thanks for all the questions this week. We'll do it again next week.
