If you were the GM, would you have any interest in Mariota or Trubisky?
Ray Fittipaldo
2:41
Not Trubisky. Mariota's mobility is an asset, but I don't necessarily view him as a starter, either.
David

Can I put "ridiculously available" on my resume if I'm the kind of guy who rarely misses work?
Ray Fittipaldo
2:42
I chuckled when I heard that too. But it is valued in NFL buildings. Some guys are just naturally durable and have a mindset to play through injuries when they have them.
Alan
2:42
Any good centers that will be free agents?
Ray Fittipaldo
2:42
Ryan Jensen, but I think the Bucs re-sign him.

Ray---Who do you like in the AFC?
Ray Fittipaldo
2:44
Chiefs, Bengals and Bills all capable of winning the Super Bowl. Not sure Titans are without Henry. I'd go with Chiefs just because of their experience, but I wouldn't be surprised at all if the Bengals or Bills represented the AFC in the Super Bowl this year.

Hi Ray, what’s your gut feeling as to whether Coach Morgan will retain his position or if the Steelers will look elsewhere?  Thank you.
Ray Fittipaldo
2:45
They'll probably keep him unless Munchak wants to come back.

We obviously need a huge upgrade at O-Line going into next year. Who do you see, if any as locks to be starters next year ? Moore, Dotson?
Ray Fittipaldo
2:45
Just Moore for sure.
2:46
And by no means do I think he's a finished product, by the way.
Darnell
2:46
Hi Ray…do you think Linderbaum would compare favorably with Creed Humphrey?  Thanks.
Ray Fittipaldo
2:47
Different players. Linderbaum is probably more athletic and in the mold of Pouncey.
Dr Ron
2:47
Forget about that shrimp green at guard…how bout that monster Kinnard from Kentucky? Maybe he’s even right tackle capable…huge and physical…
Ray Fittipaldo
2:48
Looking forward to watching some tape and identifying some of the possibilities. Look forward to it. But I agree they probably need to draft a guard and a tackle this year.

Dumb question but what is the biggest difference between ILB and OLB...they all seem the same build and speed
Ray Fittipaldo
2:50
Not really. Steelers OLBS are in the 6-3, 250-pound range for the most part. In today's day and age, ILBs are 6-1, 230 ish. They need to be able to play in coverage too.
Mike
2:50
Derek Watt with the team next year?
Ray Fittipaldo
2:50
Probably not for his current cap hit, but perhaps he'll be back on a lower salary.
Jim
2:50
Love Friermuth, but not taking Creed with 2nd pick will haunt us, possibly gotten Friermuth in 3rd?
Ray Fittipaldo
2:50
There's no way he would have lasted until the third round.
chris
2:52
If Steelers cut Schobert and Tuitt any idea how much we'd save on the cap?
Ray Fittipaldo
2:53
About $19 million. They'd save a shade under $10 million on Tuitt. There is not a chance they bring Schobert back for the money he's owed. That's a no-brainer.
SW Steel
2:53
What do you think the odds are that Ben will be playing for another team next year?
Ray Fittipaldo
2:54
1%. He seems ready to move on with his life.
Daniel11
2:54
Let Schobert walk and sign L. Vander Esch?
Ray Fittipaldo
2:54
For how much. I wouldn't sign vander Esch for big $.
steve
2:55
Ray, Why didn't the Steelers start and continue the Chiefs' game in the  no-huddle offense, the only thing that clicked all year!
Ray Fittipaldo
2:55
I wish I had the answer to that question.

Hi Ray. Enjoy your chats
How do you think Tom Brady would look behind the Steelers Oline, and BR behind the Tampa OL?
Ray Fittipaldo
2:56
Not good on both fronts.
J$Money
2:56
Once he officially retires, do you see Ben staying involved in football, either as a coach, broadcaster or some type of management position?
Ray Fittipaldo
2:56
No.
Rob in Los Angeles
2:56
What's the top free agent priority in order: offensive line, QB, inside linebackers, defensive line, CBs or WR?
Ray Fittipaldo
2:57
Hard to say. Depends how deep the draft is at certain positions.
Mercurry
2:57
When does AR II usually give his State of the Steelers address?
Ray Fittipaldo
2:57
Usually a couple of weeks after the season ends.
SteelChuck
2:57
is the OC Tomlin’s decision or Art could overrule him?
