A pass rush, the ability to stop the run, playing with discipline, the ability to communicate, the ability to cover receivers and tight ends.
Actually, I'd settle for a couple of those five things right now. Ha ha.

I live ten miles from the stadium, and am going to the game tonite, and it is currently 91 degrees with lots of humidity. I hope the Steelers plan on substituting early in the game to prevent cramping and exhaustion in the fourth quarter.

The Steelers don't usually play well in Florida this time of the year. Remember the Miami game from a few years back. St least Lawrence Timmons won't be hurling onto the field.
Tom in Erie
12:31
You think we’ll see FitzMagic or FitzTragic tonight?
Ray Fittipaldo
12:31
Something in between. If he's the same QB as the first two weeks the Steelers will lose.

Switz breaks one tonight, book it.
Ray Fittipaldo
12:32
Place your prop bets.
Mounty

If Bell gets drug tested , good chance he tests positive.  Just attending all those rap parties and breathing in that air will get you a positive.  This is going to blow up in his face.  Agree ?
Ray Fittipaldo
12:32
If you say so.
Aj

Why Coty Over Sutton tonight?
Ray Fittipaldo
12:33
I guess the coaches thought he played better vs. the Chiefs. Perhaps because he has experience too. Sensabaugh and Sutton split the reps 50-50 last week.
Dj Cain

Ray who you got winning tonight
Ray Fittipaldo
12:33
Steelers by a hair.

what's you honest thoughts on our defense i think they better change something or we might be able to finally pick early in the draft next yea btw love reading your chats and thank you
Ray Fittipaldo
12:34
Their defense hasn't had a lot of answers through two weeks. I think they have significant problems they need to address and address quickly.
RealSteel
12:34
If Bell does not sign by the deadline this year, and hypothetically the Steelers tag him again next year, would it be at the same value as this year or would it be at the $20M+ value?
Ray Fittipaldo
12:34
5 wins or fewer. Even then I'm not so sure it would happen.
Jeff
12:34
Under what scenario would Tomlin be fired or traded at the end of season?
Ray Fittipaldo
12:35
Oops. Question for previous answer.
Krugerrand

How are players supposed to tackle QB's?  If wrap them up and fall down isn't okay, is the next thing to just hit as hard as possible to knock them over?
Ray Fittipaldo
12:36
They should just put flags on the QBs. Seriously, if they don't want them being tackled just call in the grasp as soon as they are touched. That would prevent some of this stuff.

Hi Ray - I heard that Artie Burns had a great camp this summer and now that they he is being benched and/or traded. How did he fall so far so fast?
Ray Fittipaldo
12:36
He had a terrible game against the Chiefs.
Stiller
12:36
Has Juju shown he has the ability to be a top 16 wr in this league? Looks very strong this season
Ray Fittipaldo
12:37
Not top 10. Not top 20. Top 16. Got it.

Live from Tampa! Do you expect to see James Washington more involved with the O ?  Thanks
Ray Fittipaldo
12:37
I think his role will grow every week.
Stiller
12:37
With the play of Conner, do we still draft a rb in the first two rounds in the upcoming draft?
Ray Fittipaldo
12:37
Way too early to talk about the draft.
Poochie
12:38
The Steelers handling of L. Bell situation seems to be entirely out of character.  They seem to be reacting on the fly as opposed to having a plan and setting the tone with regards to this matter.  One week it is reported that they will never trade him, the next week they are accepting trade offers.  Why was the organization so unprepared this season to handle this type of scenario w/ Bell?
Ray Fittipaldo
12:38
Maybe they just want rid of the distraction.
Tony
12:38
Do you think part of the problems with the defense is that some are a little gun shy since Shazier incident?
Ray Fittipaldo
12:38
No, you can't play scared in this league.
Mitch
12:38
Wouldn't the value (from other team's perspective) go up the closer you get to the trade deadline? Every week that passes, the tagged amount decreases. Right now only a handful of teams can afford Bell, but 4 weeks from now can be a very different story.
Ray Fittipaldo
12:39
Correct.
Scl
12:39
Tonight feels like a must win, agree or disagree? Need some momentum with ravens coming to town
Ray Fittipaldo
12:39
Yes it does feel like a must-win. Can't expect to make the playoffs if you're winless after three games.
TJ
12:40
Can you give us anything positive to look for on the defensive side of the ball???
Ray Fittipaldo
12:40
Maybe the pass rushers will show up this week.
