When I asked Canada about it last week he did bring up that Chuks was in the protocol all week, which led me to believe it wouldn't be in the game plan. But that's not the case most weeks.

Do you think Najee has lost a step post-college?  Warren looks like he’s playing a different sport than he is.
Ray Fittipaldo

I think Harris has to stop thinking so much and just hit the hole.

FeelsWith the lack of time the offensive line provides for Pickett, why do we not see more  screen passes or draw plays?
Ray Fittipaldo
2:53
I'd like to see more screens to Warren. He can break some big plays.

Ray, can you believe raiders went for a fg on the last drive? If that was Steelers we'd be livid. How did that call make any sense?
Ray Fittipaldo
2:54
That was just one of many questionable decisions Daniels made.

Only 3 weeks in but I do not think any of the AFC North teams are all that impressive.  What do you think so far?
Ray Fittipaldo
2:55
Small sample size. If Joe Burrow has his calf heal up I think the Bengals can still win the division. But boy, they did not look good Monday night. Good enough to get to 1-2 but it's obvious Burrow's calf remains an issue.
Q
2:55
Is there any reason to run a play other than push QB when it's 3rd or 4th and less than 2 ?
Ray Fittipaldo
2:55
Not if you have an OL and QB that can execute it.

Hi Ray.  I am older, and I am getting forgetful, so please bear with me.  With all the talk of the "new" movement in the pocket for KP, I remember KP rolling out and moving in the pocket, last year.  Did they stop doing this, thisd season?
Ray Fittipaldo
2:56
They didn't do it the first two games.

Thanks for the chats!  Final record prediction (guess)?
Ray Fittipaldo
2:56
I said 10-7 before the season, so I'll stick with that now.

Ray, loved the "Sauce" retort, previously.  I wonder how many of the rest got it?

Do you think Tomlin will take 23 points a game and be happy with it?
Ray Fittipaldo
2:58
23 points with that defense will win a lot of games. I'll repeat what I said earlier. If the referee does not make a mockery of the game and call roughing the passer on Minkah Fitzpatrick the Steelers might score 30 or more.

How would you grade Holcomb’s play thus far?
Ray Fittipaldo

Sunday might have been his best game. That pass breakup he had on Adams was textbook.

Ray, can a "helmet to helmet" hit be challenged??
Ray Fittipaldo
3:01
No. In the past we've asked Tomlin about this because he is on the competition committee. But let's be honest, the owners make the rules, not the coaches, and they'll always favor QBs over defenders because they make so much money.
3:02
OK that's going to do it for this week's chat. We'll do it again next Tuesday.
