Did that actually happen and if so, is it legal?ĪNSWER: I will confess to paying more attention to the clock at Heinz Field than I was to how the officials reacted to the situation immediately following the fumble by D.K. It wasn't brought up on the telecast, and I can't find a definitive replay. And that then an official jumped in and set a hand on the ball and backed away. Metcalf at the end of regulation ran the ball to the line of scrimmage and set it down wherever he felt. JOHN JANUS FROM NORTH BILLERICA, MA: I can't be the only person who thought that the Seattle player who recovered the fumble by D.K. If he doesn't get that chance, shame on the Steelers. I still like Washington, and I still believe this is his time and that he'll get a chance to prove himself. I also don't believe Washington is not a part of the Steelers offensive plans, but if forced to speculate why he wasn't more "involved" against the Seahawks, I would go with the fact the offense is in the very early stages of learning to deal with not having JuJu Smith-Schuster. There were no reports of an injury to Washington or of a re-occurrence of the injury that had been nagging him leading up to that game. I like Washington as a player and have for some time, but I'm not ready to agree that he's the best combat-catcher on the roster because so far this season I believe the wide receivers have underachieved in that area. Did he get hurt, or is he just not part of their offensive plans?ĪNSWER: For the record, James Washington played eight offensive snaps against Seattle, and you are correct in that he was targeted only once and made that catch for a 9-yard gain, and that play came on the first snap of the Steelers' second possession of the first quarter. With JuJu Smith-Schuster on injured reserve and Chase Claypool not playing up to expectations, based on past performance it would seem Washington is our best receiver for combat catches. I don't believe he was targeted again and can't recall seeing him in action. JEFF DAVID FROM DETROIT, MI: Against Seattle the first pass of the game went to James Washington for 9 yards.
