Depends on the stadium. Here we're between the 200 section and upper level. I use the binoculars to zoom in on things that are far away, Gracie.
James Pierre is lining up as the starting outside corner opposite Joey Porter Jr., for what that's worth in warmups.

Rodgers, Metcalf, Jonnu, Thielen, MVS, Gainwell, Ramsey, Clark, Queen, Slay, Elliot - it’s truly crazy to look at this roster and consider that the Steelers used to be a team that built through the draft, but because they’ve drafted SO poorly for so many years now, their roster looks like the island of misfit toys.
Ray Fittipaldo
12:29
They definitely have to get back to being a draft and develop team. I think that's especially important in the secondary. Draft some young guys at CB and let them grow together. This idea that Patrick Peterson and Darius Slay can come in and be answers when they're in their mid-30s is preposterous.
Brian Batko
12:29
Chuck Clark lining up as a starting safety, not Jabrill Peppers with Kyle Dugger out. Adam Thielen comes out in the starting offense, actually, which was 12 personnel with Jonnu Smith and Pat Freiermuth.
Yancey Mills Lipps
12:33
predictions fellas?
Brian Batko
12:33
I picked the Ravens, 27-17.
Ray Fittipaldo
12:33
Ravens, 31, Steelers 20

Classic 2025 Steelers relying on 31 and 35 year old receivers to save the season. Sigh.
AdamNY
12:34
Thanks for responding, Ray.  Follow up - the next 2 years of drafting will be huge in deciding the next phase of the Steelers - we’re likely getting a new QB, and with 11 or so picks, there is a huge opportunity to turn over the roster and get younger - do you think this (ie
will factor in to whether or not Tomlin stays?  Given that the next few drafts will shape the future of the next several years?
Brian Batko
12:34
On one hand, yes. On the other hand, at least they're trying something new, right?
Ray Fittipaldo
12:34
I don't think it factors into whether Tomlin stays or goes. In some ways, having so many young players is a nice scenario for a new coach.
Yates

What is the Ravens giveaway vs takeaway margin this year?
Ray Fittipaldo
12:36
The Ravens are -4 in turnover margin this season.
Mike

Does playing MVS and Theilen help open things up for DK and Muth?
Ray Fittipaldo
12:37
You'd have to think that's part of the plan. Run MVS deep, take a shot early to see if you can get DK freed up. Of course, it could help f you hit on that deep ball. They haven't done that a whole heck of a lot this season.
Yancey Mills Lipps
12:39
Clark over Peppers is same old Tomlin fan-boy crap
Brian Batko
12:40
Eh, I don't really have an issue with it. I'm not sure Peppers is any better than Clark. Most likely, neither is the answer.
Bob Abuoy
12:40
Draft some young guys at CB? Who is going to develop them?
Brian Batko
12:40
Maybe Darius Slay comes back as an assistant coach
CT Steel
12:41
excited for new look offense.  But can the Steelers def stop King Henry from getting 150 yards today
Brian Batko
12:42
Saying yes would be a real leap of faith, given the last two times they played this team and what they did against the Bills
Yancey Mills Lipps
12:44
obviously neither is the answer.  peppers has at least had a few splash plays in his short time.  last we saw clark he was getting picked on
Brian Batko
12:45
Correct me if I'm wrong, Yancey Mills Lipps, but that's when he was playing free safety, prior to the Dugger-Ramsey pairing. Clark might be less of a liability as the strong safety, playing down closer to the box more and covering tight ends or helping against the run.
Bob Abuoy
12:47
Brian I love it! Big Play Don’t Wanna Play Slay for secondary coach next year!
Brian Batko
12:47
Assistant secondary coach. Patrick Peterson will be the main guy.
Adam
12:47
Harbaugh foolishness and Lamar mistakes/turnovers.  Thats the ticket for a 17-14 Steeler win.
Ray Fittipaldo
12:47
Adam with the optimistic take.
Brian Batko
12:49
As you well remember, the Ravens stomped the Steelers in the past two meetings. Last time the Steelers beat the Ravens by more than one score? October 1, 2017.
George
12:50
Don't turn Rodgers into the Red BB Gun
Brian Batko
12:50
'Tis the season
12:51
OK folks, Ray and I are gonna gear up for the game. Kickoff is at 1:02 p.m. sharp. Please plan accordingly.
Zeise
12:59
Ok here we are going to get it started! I have it on good authority - Steelers 20, Ravens 19
Yates
12:59
Both the Ravens and Steelers have been much worse in second half vs first half.  So could the winner be whichever team stinks less in the second half?
CT Steel
1:00
Excited for new look offered

Adam

It’s optimistic but those two are proven commodities.
Yitzer

Is Rogers able to take snaps under center today?
Zeise
1:00
Allegedly yes
