OK, let's get our chat started....

What are the chances that Antonio Brown is on the Ravens team next season?
Gerry Dulac
1:30
If he is, shame on the Ravens.

Gerry, when you attend AR2 press conf on Friday will you (and other reporters) be allowed to ask questions such as overtime rule, Offensive Coordinator, etc?
Gerry Dulac
1:30
Who says he's having a press conference??
Jacque Strap
1:31
Hi Gerry, do you buy into the notion that ARII doesn't want to move on from Canada because he is still under contract and doesn't want to pay two Off Coordinators at the same time? Or at least that is part of the reason?
Gerry Dulac
1:32
No I don't, but I will say the Steelers typically honor a contract.

Hi Gerry.  If the Steelers are interviewing 3 candidates for DC do you think that this signals a change in who will call the D plays in future games, or are they just fulfilling NFL requirements?
Gerry Dulac
1:33
It might be more of the latter, but I can tell you no matter what or who it is, a discussion will be held about who's calling the plays.

In a fake punt when the punter tosses to a WR, the punting ball being different (higher air pressure?) than game ball, would it make a difference in completion rate? Are these balls shaped differently so the refs can keep track of them?
Gerry Dulac
1:34
You have too much time on your hands to come up with that one. Or your level of curiosity is at an alarming level.

Hi Gerry.  Do you think that the Steelers will let Bush go and obtain a new IMLB, or hope that Bush can reclaim some of his prior attributes?
Gerry Dulac
1:34
No. I think they understand he was coming back from ACL and was not his usual self.

Gerry, do you forsee Art II making any adjustments to current staff?  Thanks
Gerry Dulac
1:35
I think he would have done so already, like he did last year with the OC and O-line coach. But that doesn't mean he won't.

Whoops! I meant to say Gerry, do you think Barry Bands should be in the Hall of Fame! Sorry!
Gerry Dulac
1:39
Yes I do!

I cannot believe that MIke Tomlin, shortly after becoming HC, with 1-2 years as a DC in Minny took over the DC play calling duties from future HOF Dick LeBeau.  This is according to former DC K Butler.
Gerry Dulac
1:40
He didn't take over all the play-calling duties from LeBeau, just some instances. Not like he did with Butler.

Who is your pick to win the super bowl?
Gerry Dulac
1:41
It's so hard to pick against the Chiefs after what we saw on Sunday.

Why didn't the team go with Corliss Waitman instead of Harvin? Now Waitmann is with the Broncos. It just seemed like Wattman was a far better punter. Thanks, for the Chat!
Gerry Dulac
1:42
I'm not going to argue. But I will point up that Harvin was a draft choice and there's a certain amount of politics that go with that.

Whats your feeling on PFF?  Do they accurately represent the performance of individual Steelers players?
Gerry Dulac
1:43
I give them lots of credit for what they try to do. But I think their ratings don't take into account what a player is being asked to do or when one player is trying to cover for another's mistake.

It seems kind of uncool that Tomlin took playcalling duties from Butler but didn't make that known. Then Keith B has to take all the blame for bad defensive showings even though Mike T called the plays. Thoughts on this?
Gerry Dulac
1:44
Well, I've been telling that to you chatters for several years now, so it shouldn't be a complete surprise.

My cousin said he thinks he saw Aaron Rodgers downtown today near Heinz Field. Have you heard this? Could Rodgers be in town to sign with the Steelers or do a pre-contract physical? Will his signing help bring Juju back?
Gerry Dulac
1:50
Tell your cousin he might as well have sighted Bigfoot

Will Hines Ward ever get in the HOF?
Gerry Dulac
1:51
I doubt it, though I wish he would. Changed the way WRs played the game.
joe s fan
1:51
can you explain the dissatisfaction the coaches have with Joe Schoebert? He seems ok to me for the most part
Gerry Dulac
1:51
But not at $9.7 million, which is what he will count in 2022 against the cap.

Fred Gibson from Georgia was a high round pick for Pittsburgh back in '05. But he didn't even make it to the regular season. What happened? I recall at the time Arians being really high on him
Gerry Dulac
1:52
I think injuries and, if I'm not mistaken, there were some other issues.
kevin in Punxsy

Gerry, my Aunt's neighbor's son's girlfriend said she saw Aaron Rodgers eatiing at Eat-n-Park in the Rocks!!!!!
Gerry Dulac
1:52
Was he with Russell Wilson??

If you were in charge - what would be your plan for our OL transformation going into next season?
Gerry Dulac
1:53
I'd sign a big-time center in free agency, move Green to guard and draft a T/G with the No. 2 pick
Hugh DeMann

Butler always had a play sheet (and I think Lebeau before that), so was Tomlin calling the plays into their headsets and then they relayed the call to the team. Is that how it works?
