00:00How about the Steelers and Ravens on Saturday in the Charm City?

00:05Yeah, and George Pickens again out. Third straight game with a hamstring problem.

00:09For whatever reason, Scott, they're still not playing Mike Williams as much as they should.

00:12He could have been a bigger factor against the Eagles as he was two weeks ago,

00:15but they didn't get him the ball enough, didn't get enough snaps. That's problematic. They got

00:19to get him on the field more, but it's all about getting Pickens healthy for the playoffs.

00:23Deshaun Elliott, you know, I've been talking about Deshaun Elliott for weeks. He's been terrific.

00:27Great signing for them. He is out again with a hamstring injury. Dante Jackson should play,

00:32by the way. He got some light work in. He hurt his back in the game against Philly last week.

00:36They're pretty optimistic he should play. Now, this one just happened.

00:40For the Ravens, Rashad Bateman is one of their starting receivers. He's had foot problems on

00:43and off in his career. They had a light practice today. He didn't work. And remember, Deontay

00:48Johnson's not going to play for them. They sent him home. They mutually agreed, so they're a

00:52little bit light at wide receiver. That's a little bit of a concern, but your Steelers are beat up

00:56physically. That's the problem right now. They got too many guys hurt. That's why it makes it

01:01hard for them to win this game. Do you think that game would have been better if Nadja didn't fumble

01:06at the 20, that the game would have been closer? Absolutely. And by the way, how about that call

01:13where clearly Quinion Mitchell threw punches? Remember when Darnell Washington pushed Darius

01:18Slay to the back and he got called for a perfect foul? Yeah, but then he goes through punches.

01:26I'm told there were clearly three missed calls. That one I just mentioned,

01:31but the bottom line is you're right to bring that up. Nadja Harris can't fumble. Any chance

01:36they had to make the game competitive and actually steal the game in Philly, it was done once he fumbled.
