He made some plays. Looked good for a debut.
Alan Miller

How badly injured is JuJu Shuster-Smith?
Ray Fittipaldo
1:01
He reentered the game and said he was fine afterward. Just got hit on the bone bruise is all.

I have Bengals 11-5....Steelers 10-6....Ravens 8-8....browns 4-12.....what do you think?
Ray Fittipaldo
1:02
Bengals at 11-5, really? I say Steelers 11-5. Ravens 8-8, Bengals 7-9, Browns 3-13.

Its looking like this year was a fruitful draft.... How many of the picks do you estimate will make the roster and of those who do you see as starters and or  regular contributors.
Ray Fittipaldo
1:03
Looks like Keoin Adams will go to injured reserve with a shoulder injury so he won't make it. Not sure about Brian Allen. I have him ticketed for the practice squad. Looks like the rest will make it.

Golson a goner?
Ray Fittipaldo
1:04
Goner on Saturday, Comer on Sunday (signed to P squad)
Leaper

Is the hope for Sutton to eventually replace Cockrell as the starter?
Ray Fittipaldo
1:05
He can play inside and outside. I think it depends on what they honestly think of Hilton. If they don't think Hilton can replace Gay they might look at Sutton there and hope Sensabaugh can be serviceable on the outside.

No reason to take 90 players to Carolina game.  Seems like 75 to 80 is right.  Knowing roughly 22 starters will no play, that would give them 53 or so active players.  So they should cut 10-15 today or tomorrow? Is that about right?
Ray Fittipaldo
1:05
Yes.
Tom in Dallas
1:06
Are there any positions or spots that are still open at this point?
Ray Fittipaldo
1:06
RCB and maybe slot CB though I think Gay holds on there for a little while.

Hi Ray,  What are your thoughts on the Burfict hit? Bengals are saying "legal".. seemed totally unnecessary. Also, do think the NFL (or other teams) are tired of this guy's act?
Ray Fittipaldo
1:07
Everyone except Marvin Lewis is tired of his act. Marvin deserves all the negative blowback when stuff like this happens. He easily could have gotten rid of Burfict numerous other times.
Dallas
1:07
Hello Ray! Is there any chance Hilton or Sutton start during the season? And If they are not an answer, do you see the Steelers biting the bullet and giving up a 1st or 2nd rounder to get a top notch CB?
Ray Fittipaldo
1:08
At some point this season? Yes. Early in the season? No
Gary from Manhattan Beach

Love the Chats. Thanks for taking my question. How do you think Brian Allen is looking for making the team? I don't think I've seen anyone completing passes against him, unlike Cockrell.
Ray Fittipaldo
1:08
I think they'd like to sneak him onto the practice squad, but if he can help on special teams maybe he makes it.
Landry Jones

I looked pretty good Saturday night. Shouldn't this quiet down all the naysayers about me, and who should be the backup QB now??
Ray Fittipaldo
1:09
Yes it should. The talk of a competition with Dobbs was nonsense.
DHB
1:10
I know I'm having a few difficulties catching the ball Ray, but shouldn't my superb Special Teams skills allow me to make the final 53??
Ray Fittipaldo
1:10
That's a question for Danny Smith.
Coach John Mitchell
1:10
Any suggestions on how I can motivate Big Dan?? I'm all out of ideas. The man is 6'8" and 350 lbs, grizzly bear size with Teddy Bear fierceness.
Ray Fittipaldo
1:10
Cut him. Maybe that'll get his attention.
Joey
1:11
Given the massive amount of talent on the offensive side of the ball, who gets the blame if the red zone efficiency is still weak?
Ray Fittipaldo
1:11
Todd Haley of course. He's the coordinator.
Colorado Joe
1:11
Why not keep Watson in place of Nix ?
Ray Fittipaldo
1:11
Because Nix is a FB and Watson is a TB.
JamesinNYC
1:12
Feiler cannot be on the practice squad I think.
Ray Fittipaldo
1:13
I'll have to check on that. Thanks, James. I thought he had eligibility left.

Could William gay play safety? Might be a nice backup there
Ray Fittipaldo
1:13
Yes he saw some reps there last week. I think only if they're desperate, but he could do it.
1:14
Thanks for all the questions this week. Check my Twitter (@rayfitt1) about next week's chat. Not sure if we'll do one on Labor Day.
