What additional starters should we expect to see this week against Tampa Ray?

I'm not sure how many will return. With a lot of the guys with big contracts they don't want to risk it. And with guys with injuries such as Seumalo they don't want to risk injuries either.

Good morning, Ray.  I find it curious as to why Cam Heyward would come to camp and then publicly decree he wants a raise, all this after he bashed AR because of his non-comital to the Steelers prior to signing.  What's your take?
Ray Fittipaldo

Yes, looking back, I don't think Cam got great advice from his agent when he negotiated the deal and I don't think they've handled the past six months well either. Cam said yesterday they've been seeking a new deal since February. I get trying to have good faith in negotiations, but maybe it would have been better for the agent to get it out there in February that Cam was unhappy.

Hi Ray, What are the chances Beanie Bishop keeps his roster spot? And I feel like Connor Heyward should get more opportunities, and that more creative offensive minds could better utilize him.

You might be the first person in the history of the world who wants the Steelers to use Connor Heyward more on offense.

It was interesting to see the use of Hawk Eye technology which has been used in tennis since 2005 but the big difference is that the technology places the ball onto the playing service and its relation to the lines in tennis but the NFL still requires the Refs to place the ball on the field. I am personally on the fence if they should use Hawk Eye to place the ball. I still think the human should element should part of the game.

I kind of liked how they told us the exact distance. They used to just say fourth and inches. But now we'll know if fourth and 16 inches or whatever.

The 2 O Tackles - whatcha think Ray?  Arrow up or down?

Up. I know they didn't play deep into the game, but they kept Rudolph clean and he obviously had enough time to make plays down the field.

OK that's all the time I have this week. Have to head up for some interviews. We'll do it again next Tuesday.
