Hi Gerry! Who do you think is getting cut in order to have money for Dupree?
Gerry Dulac
10:45
Chickillo. Burns. Foster for starters.

Hi Gerry, do you feel Cowher deserved to be elected into the HOF?  I've seen some NFL fans state that Flores or Coryell were more deserving.  Thanks!
Gerry Dulac
10:47
Yes I do. And tell me how many titles did Don Coryell win??? I feel bad for Flores. He's the only coach with two Super Bowl titles who's not in the Hall of Fame. But his record, otherwise, was not great (97-87).

Will we trade back into the first round?
Gerry Dulac
10:47
No. With what??

I'm sure you have seen Antonio Brown's latest racist rant by now.  Wouldnt allowing him back in the NFL be an awful look for the league?  This guy crossed the line so long ago that he cant even see it anymore.
Gerry Dulac
10:48
It's just another deck chair on the Queen Mary for him. I have grown tired of his nonsense and don't really see or care what he says.

Good Morning. Do you think that Steelers view Benny Snell as the the feature running back of the future or is he just a RB2 for them?   Also when do you expect AR annual press conference that he does at the end of the season?  Thank you very much.
Gerry Dulac
10:49
I think Benny Snell is a nice complementary back, but not a feature back. And AR2 is meeting with several of us today (because you asked).

Gerry - do you think the loss of Rosie Nix last season had a bigger impact then was expected?  I am not sure why the Steelers don't utilize a FB if they are committed to running the ball. That would seem to be something that could help out our young QBs and establish a running game.
Gerry Dulac
10:49
Bigger impact? No. Little impact (in short yardage)? Perhaps. But don't blame their troubles on not having Rosie Nix.

Do you think the Streelers draft a TE or aquire one in free agency.
Gerry Dulac
10:50
Absolutely. High priority

Hi Gerry. I’m starting to see how other teams are operating on the field and I’m worried that the Steelers are falling behind. Watching every one of these playoff team,
Gerry Dulac
10:50
Alan, they are not falling behind, trust me.
GM
10:53
With so many QBs available in this years draft, and so few teams actually needing one, do we draft one this year?  It's not a need but a potentially good one might come cheap (Hurts)
Gerry Dulac
10:54
They have so many other issues on offense that need to be addressed that I wouldn't sit there and expect a QB to be drafted.
KN
10:54
Hello. Since you said that AR is meeting you today because I asked , Can you ask him if the Steelers finally plan to draft a good NT to stop the likes of Lamar Jackson ? : ) Thank you very much.
Gerry Dulac
10:56
They have a good nose tackle -- Javon Hargrave -- it's just that they don't use a nose tackle a lot in their 3-4 defense.

Gerry, the past 2 seasons they Steelers have lost games due to inexperienced QBs. Will they bring in a QB with some experience tp avoid a repeat in 2020?  Thank you.
Gerry Dulac
10:57
I think there is a good chance of that, and, if there isn't, there should be.

Will Hines Ward be the next WR coach? If not, why not. Thx.
Gerry Dulac
11:00
I know he wants to be.
AK
11:00
you think Faneca will even get in the HOF?
Gerry Dulac
11:01
I think he will but time is running out.
Nate
11:01
Hi Gerry, I read the Eagles might be interested in Hines Ward as their WR coach.  Would the Steelers ever consider him?  Also, do you think he'll ever be elected to the HOF?  Thanks!
Gerry Dulac
11:02
I'm hesitant to say he won't get in, but I think it will be tough. Hines has enough catches (1,000), but he was more than just coaches. His blocking set a template for wide receivers on being physical.
Jay
11:02
Gerry,  If Ben's report comes back not looking good would you take Jalen Hurt in the 2nd rd?  Not that we want to live in our fears.  Thank you.
Gerry Dulac
11:02
Nope.
GPT
11:02
He'd be pricey, but Hunter Henry would cure a lot of the Steelers' ills.  Could you see them making such a high dollar splash for a definite position of need?
Gerry Dulac
11:03
Yes he would. I liked him coming out in the draft
Ryno
11:03
As far as the Rooney Rule goes, shouldnt there be an exception if a team knows who they want to hire from the start?
Gerry Dulac
11:03
Well, that's not the intent.
Steeltree
11:03
If QB Hurts or WR Handler (PSU) is there at spot # 50 dobyou grab either
Gerry Dulac
11:03
Not Hurts. Possibly Hamler.
jAKE
11:03
Gerry,  Why is the Steeler's run defense lacking if Hargrave is so looked upon so favorably? Does not seem to be so much of a run stuffer.  Thank you.
Gerry Dulac
11:04
It's not Hargrave, it's the defense. They play so much sub package with just two defensive linemen that it's easier for teams to run against them.
GM
11:06
After this year are we picking up 34's 5th year rookie option?  Seems like he's solid in tackling and not much else
Gerry Dulac
11:06
This will be only his third year. They wouldn't decide that until his 4th season.
