Pittsburgh Review

The recent "Asked and Answered" column addressed a variety of topics concerning NFL rules, player positions, and team strategies. One reader from Columbia, SC inquired about a catch made by Garrett Wilson during a game between the Jets and Texans. The question revolved around whether having one foot and a shin down was sufficient for a legal catch. The response clarified that "If an eligible receiver gets a body part – a knee, elbow, shin – down in-bounds while in possession of the ball it's a legal catch."

Another inquiry came from Glendale, WI regarding T.J. Watt's positioning on the field. It was noted that Watt often plays closer to the line of scrimmage with his hand down this season. This adjustment is attributed to his quick start at the snap, which he believes is more effective from this stance.

Questions also arose about Russell Wilson's playing style and decision-making on the field. A reader from Morgantown, WV asked why Wilson isn't running more often despite apparent opportunities. The explanation provided was that Wilson's role as quarterback focuses on reading defenses and passing rather than running.

Inquiries about equipment differences were raised by Todd Hile from Mount Orab, OH who noticed variations in football color during games. It was explained that different sets of footballs are used for regular plays versus kicking plays.

Rob Warren from Billings, MT sought information on the Steelers' record against AFC North rivals since 2020. The response detailed their performance: 7-1 against Baltimore; 4-4 against Cincinnati; and 5-4 against Cleveland.

A question regarding DeMarvin Leal's injury status was posed by Aaron Lowe from Washington, DC. It was confirmed that Leal sustained a neck injury considered season-ending.

Ed Johnson from Germantown, OH asked about long-snapping duties under Chuck Noll’s coaching era. Mike Webster primarily handled these responsibilities throughout most of his career with the Steelers.

The column also addressed concerns about Broderick Jones’ development as an offensive tackle following observations of him being labeled both as a potential star and later as struggling due to position changes.

Lastly, Christopher Gibson from Manalapan, NJ queried how decisions are made regarding injured players' reserve status classifications such as PUP or IR-designated to return. Medical staff assessments play a significant role but final decisions involve consultation among team management including General Manager Omar Khan with President Art Rooney II having ultimate approval authority.

These questions reflect fans' keen interest in understanding various aspects related to gameplay rules interpretation along with strategic considerations impacting player roles within teams like Pittsburgh Steelers while providing insights into historical contexts surrounding notable figures associated therein such as James Harrison among others who achieved success despite initially going
