I can see punting there, but Waitman has to pin them and not kick it out of the end zone.

I saw that Holcomb was used in run situations. Will that continue or will Wilson get his full-time job back because of his nice game on Sunday?

Will be week to week decisions depending on the opponent.

What are your thoughts on bringing in Odell Beckhem or Tyler Boyd?

They might have to do something if Austin is out for a long time, but I'm not sure either of those guys are the answer. Maybe Boyd would be motivated to play for his hometown team, but he's more of a possession receiver. Austin is quick and fast so I'd rather them get that type of player.

In a follow-up to last week's question. I said the Steelers need a franchise QB, D-line and maybe O-line help. You said definitely o-line. So my question is, if you are the GM do you focus on D-line and O-line before franchise QB? What do you think the Steelers do? Thank you

You get the QB if you believe he's the guy, but if your guy isn't there I'd continue to build up the trenches. I wouldn't reach for a QB. We saw what happened with Kenny Pickett when he got picked at No. 20.

Who got clocked at a higher speed during their respective big plays: Payton Wilson or DK Metcalf?

Wilson got to 22.5 MPH. Metcalf was a bit behind that.

The punt at the end was fine, if we missed the 1st down they get the ball 20 yards closer to FG range

I tend to agree, but I think other teams with strong offensive lines and a good QB on sneaks go for it there. I mean, the Steelers ran their first tush push earlier in that game and got two yards.

Waitman kicking it through the end zone.  Whatever happened to punters angling the kick out of bounds inside the 10?  Never seems to happen like the old days.

I'm thinking he was told to do that, but I don't know that for sure. That was out of the back of the end zone, not even close.

OK thanks for all the questions this week. I have to go do some interviews. We'll do another chat next week.
