Do you expect the Steelers to follow the same schedule for Ben this year in training camp.
Gerry Dulac
11:25
I think he will be even much more limited.
Jon
11:26
Should we expect anymore moves today or are we mostly done?
Gerry Dulac
11:26
I was told by AR2 there will be more moves in some form.
Jeff
11:26
if all those mentioned are easily found then why didn't we sign them?  Old saying in any job is that your always worth a little more somewhere else apply here?
Gerry Dulac
11:27
Cause you find players like there anywhere. You act as though they just lost Pouncey, DeCastro and Heyward.

So would they consider permanently moving camp from St Vincent starting this year because of Corona and going forward because it's inconvenient for the team and fans ?
Gerry Dulac
11:28
Good question, but I think if the all-clear is given by July they will go to Saint Vincent. But I'm not going to bet the house on it just yet.

Jerry, thanks for the chats. Do you think that the Steelers will have any interest in pursuing Andrew Billings as a stopgap solution at NT?
Gerry Dulac
11:32
That's all he would be -- a stopgap. But, unless they think Isaiah Buggs is on the fast rise, they will need someone. Tyson Alualu will be 33 and Dan McCullers should be on the way out too.

Obvious to me that the offense needs a big time play maker. Brady made a career throwing to small quick backs; just check out their work against the Steelers. Also, JJ doesn't seem to be able to cut it as a #1. My solution is K J Hamler...he is a human joy stick. He runs better in tight spaces than any one I've seen and is a TD threat every time he touches the ball whether it's passes, sweeps or punt returns. He makes everybody else on the O that much better. Switzer just doesn't cut it. If available: Hamler or Claypool?
Gerry Dulac
11:34
I'm not saying it should or will be Hamler, but someone like him. They need someone who can make plays, whether catching or running jet sweeps (reverses), someone who can score touchdowns. Do I need to remind anyone that the Steelers were the only NFL team not to score 30 points in any one game last season???? You can nit-pick position help all you want; the reality is they need playmakers on offense to score touchdowns. Got it.

Ron Cook: Steelers are worse now than they were at season's end

Thanks for the headline E. Wrong. Ben should be back, Tuitt will be back, JuJu will be healthy, Conner should be healthy and almost has to be better than he was in 2019. That was the state at season's end. And, in case people have forgotten, they ended their season with three consecutive losses. So....no.

what are your odds The Masters will be played this year?  Jack thinks it won't
Gerry Dulac
11:38
Tough to say. I think they will still play, tho it won't shock me if they don't. I don't think they will play it in the fall. If that's the only solution, I agree with Jack.

Love Your Chats,keep up the good work and don't believe the bs everyone says
Gerry Dulac

Believe? Sometimes I don't even read. Thanx

Is bell coming back to the steelers
Gerry Dulac
11:39
I'm guessing that's not the case. Be careful what you read.

Given the Steelers just signed TJ’s brother, there is no way Rosie Nix stays on the team, right?
Gerry Dulac
11:39
That would be correct
11:44
One additional point about McCullers: He averages slightly more than 100 snaps per season in his six seasons with the Steelers. Yet he averages slightly less than 7 tackles PER SEASON. How he manages to stick around this long amazes me.

Why is Switzer still occupying a roster spot?  He is definitely not the playmaker they need
Gerry Dulac
11:45
That doesn't he will be in the coming weeks.

DL by FA or draft? Regarding the loss of Hargrave
Gerry Dulac
11:46
I think that should be the first defensive position they address in the draft, wherever that is. Keep in mind, though, they are now down three linebackers.
Chris
11:46
Do you think we missed on signing Finney to a multi-year deal last year?
Gerry Dulac
11:46
Maybe.
marty v

Is Watt and upgrade over Nix as a FB?  (blocker and pass receiver)?
Gerry Dulac
11:47
We'll find out. Nix was a good blocker when he was able to be on the field.
Rocky B
11:47
i am a little surprised they're sticking with mcdonald.  injury prone and unreliable hands do not make up for his blocking and high salary.  agree?
Gerry Dulac
11:48
I get your point, but they think McDonald is a high-quality NFL tight end who can make plays. And I agree.

Hell maybe O’Brien trades JJ to us for a 4th round pick and we have all 3! Lol
Gerry Dulac
11:49
Hey, after that trade for Hopkins.....
OK, kids, we're out of time. Stay well and don't forget -- wash your hands.
