Hello Ray. Did RB Lee Nichols impress you? I liked what I saw of him. What did he lack that he didn’t make the 53 man roster?
Ray Fittipaldo
1:50
He did. I thought he had a good camp. But again, no other team picked him up. He's on the practice squad and will be ready if there is an injury.

Hello Ray. Are you surprised in the play of LT Fautanu? Or, he’s simply get Reacclimated to that position?
Ray Fittipaldo
1:51
I hope it's the latter. Otherwise, they have problems.

Hello Ray. Would safety be the position to address first after team cutdowns?
Ray Fittipaldo
1:51
Well, cutdowns happened on Sunday and they haven't added anyone so I guess they're content with their group for now. Maybe a move is coming later this week or over the weekend.
Big boom

Ray, what's your hunch, do you think the steelers sign Joey Porter before season starts
Ray Fittipaldo
1:52
My gut says yes, but I'm less certain by the day.
Gene

Do you think Roman Wilson will be the #3 receiver or will Bernard end up being the guy.
Ray Fittipaldo
1:53
I think Wilson to start the season.
Kaz

Nice work Ray. What team had the most waived players picked up?
Ray Fittipaldo
1:53
I think it was the Eagles, but don't quote me on that.
Ryan
1:54
Ray what do you think About Eli making the Inital 53 man roster i think he did good when he played in the preseason
Ray Fittipaldo
1:54
I was surprised, but looking back on it maybe we should have known McCarthy would favor "his" players over ones from the previous regime.
Yitzer

Ray, I know it’s not real football as Rodgers would say but did we hit the 55 offensive play goal in any preseason game?
Ray Fittipaldo
1:55
Ha ha I was going to check that, but figured it was fruitless because they didn't game plan for any of those games.

Good morning Ray, thanks for your work. Now that we're on to Week1 it will be interesting to see how Wilson and Bernard play. Any early thoughts on what to expect?
Ray Fittipaldo
1:56
Bernard is the better talent, but Wilson has better chemistry with Rodgers... for now
A Rogers

Given injuries on the secondary and juggling in the O-Line, are the Steelers ready for the season?
Ray Fittipaldo
