Above average, which is a big step up for him.

Penalty on Pickens for "block" on defender when he stopped and turned his back was horrible.  How can they call this?
Ray Fittipaldo
2:53
We asked Pickens about it after the game. He said he never got an explanation from the officials. He also mentioned that he thought he was in the proper position there. The guy went down hard, not sure if he embellished or has a glass jaw, but as you mentioned Pickens didn't actually block him. He was more getting in his way at that point.

Do you see this year's group of ILBs as better than last year's?
Ray Fittipaldo
2:53
Yes and I think they'll continue to get better.

Ray, do you see CB Darius Rush as an upgrade over Cory Trice, who's on IR?
Ray Fittipaldo
2:55
I don't know that he's an upgrade, but it's obvious they are trending toward longer outside corners. It certainly cuts down on windows for QBs to throw into down the field.

Why are so many national media folks so insistent on ranking Myles Garrett ahead of TJ? Tj leads in every major statistical category, he has a major impact on the game just look at the Steelers record with vs w/out him. I don't get it.
Ray Fittipaldo

Garrett is good, but he's nowhere near as good as Watt.

Speaking of fingers... Know the story of Ernie Stautner setting his compound fracture in the huddle and asking... "what's the play?"
Ray Fittipaldo
2:58
I do not, but it doesn't surprise me.

I think taunting penalties are just dumb and taunting should be allowed. That is just a part of the game among players. Why is NFL so tight about having some dirty talks during games?
Ray Fittipaldo

I think they're worried about how their product comes across on TV screens.

OK thanks for all the great questions this week. We'll do it again next Tuesday on the short week before the Thursday night game against the Titans.
