Was the Steelers frequency of attacking the middle of the field restricted by Tomlin, the OC, or personnel?  And, is there any indication the new staff and personnel will capitalize in this area more frequently?
Gerry Dulac
2:04
Not until we see them play a game and who is playing QB
KordellTolls

Gerry are you and the local writers too optimistic about Mike McCarthy? He gives off Pete Carroll Rich Kotite vibes.
Gerry Dulac
2:04
There is no comparison. None
Ryan
2:04
Gerry does James Pierre or Samuel jr get resigned i think they should resign both
Gerry Dulac
2:05
I think they will

Gerry, with current QB class I don’t see any QB’s worth taking in the first 2 rounds of the draft. I would like to see them use the draft capital they have to move up in the first 2 rounds to get a top WR and CR/S.  Then maybe look for a QB on day 3. What do you think about this.
Gerry Dulac
2:05
I think you are not too far off

Hi Gerry.  What is behind the impulse to either have a horrible season and get a high draft pick or tearing it down and rebuilding?  Does anyone remember the 1980's teams or the 6-10 season Cowher had?  Sure the latter lead to some great draft picks in Troy and Ben but those were some bleak times.  I remember preferring to play golf than watch that 6-10 team.
Gerry Dulac

And, if that happens, those same people will be screaming a bloody blue streak

McCarthy got fired twice. Once while his quarterback was Aaron Rodgers in his prime and once while Dak Prescott was in his prime. Is he truly our man with a plan?
Gerry Dulac
2:06
We'll find out
George T

Gerry, please explain to me why everyone wants to blame Tomlin for the Kenny Picket pick when ARII said he do not want to make the same mistake his dad with DM.
Gerry Dulac
2:07
I don't think AR2 ever said that

Gerry, please give us your prediction on QB 1/2/ or 3 position and salary/contract term for these players for next year: Kenny Pickett, Justin Fields, Russell Wilson.
Gerry Dulac
2:07
All backups for a couple million. Wilson out of the league
KordellTolls
2:08
Why should we be excited about Aaron Rodgers returning? He looked awful against Cleveland and Houston.
Gerry Dulac
2:09
Cleveland yes. But, if you're going to isolate, did you forget about two games versus the Ravens and one in Detroit?
Bill in LA
2:09
Gerry, I'd rather see the Steelers try to roll with Will Howard towards hoping he'd be a possible franchise QB, rather than continue with their attitude that he can't play because he hasn't played, and we need another year with an over-the-hill QB with experience for another 10-7 season and first round playoff blowout. Are you with me at all?
Gerry Dulac
2:09
Nobody has said he can't play. They just don't know if he can or can't.

"I don't think they have any interest in trading those two OLBs." Can you confirm which two you are talking about and which one of the THREE you think may be on the move?
Gerry Dulac
2:10
That's why I leave that up you guys to figure it out.

How would you compare your level of access to the team  and decision makers with other Steelers reporters?
Gerry Dulac
2:10
As they said about Tiger on the 17th at Sawgrass -- better than most!
I Say Blue

I think the Steelers should draft Drew Allar if for no other reason than to force Pitt fans to experience the slow burn tension of pretending to root for a work in progress from the enemy. Onward State. Drew, you deserve better. Go Franco. Go Ham. Go Perry. Go Marino - oh wait.
Gerry Dulac
2:11
I don't think that's in their best interest. Not if you ever watched him in big games.
Tbone
2:11
I read where Ray F cited a stat that TJ Watt is the most chipped rusher in the NFL.  Is there anything in Graham's past that indicates he can find a way to lower the amount of chips that TJ deals with?
Gerry Dulac
2:11
Line him in the middle
Felonious

Ger - you mentioned in a previous chat, “let’s not forget the QB they are hoping they can draft” is there one in particular they have their sites set on?  And can you share if this might be outside of the consensus top 2?
Gerry Dulac
2:12
Not that I'm aware of just yet. I was referring to their INTENTION of wanting to get one.
Eric in TX
2:12
It seems like every mock draft has the same five WR going in  the first draft, but in a different order. I'm sure the Steelers will have them ranked in-house, but if the consensus is that all five are legit first round picks, how much sense does it make to trade up (and trade away other draft picks) instead of waiting for which one is left?
Gerry Dulac
2:13
That's what they will determine, kind of like last year when they had three DLs they were willing to draft, two in particular. And one of them was the guy they got -- Harmon.

Shocking. Mr. David Bowie a.k.a. TVC15 with his obsession about Mike Tomlin. Are you shocked he still has questions about Mike Tomlin, or rather personal comments? It is starting to worry me.
Gerry Dulac
2:14
I'm never shocked at anything I get in our chats
Steve
2:14
Hi Gerry, we already have 2 qb's and if Rogers comes back that will be three. Wouldn't drafting another QB just be a waste?
Gerry Dulac
2:14
Depends who it is. Believe me, if they take one high, someone will lose out.
2:15
OK kids, that's all the time we have today. I'll be at the combine next week and shoot for our usual Wednesday time slot.
