Hey, Gerry. Heading to Ireland to play a little golf in April. Any favorite courses over there?
Gerry Dulac
10:17
I haven't had the occasion, other than the Royal Golf Club of Dublin. But Lahinch, Ballybunion and Old Head are gems on the other coast of Ireland.

Have you heard through your contacts if the Steelers are interested in signing Cousins? Hate this AR waiting game he puts the team through. Cousins is younger and their play is comparable at this time in their careers. Cousins can also mentor Howard and a stud QB if we draft one next year.
Gerry Dulac
10:18
I don't think they have any interest in doing that. Talk about going backward??
Steeler Joe
10:18
I think there's about a 50 percent chance the Steelers trade up in the first round, and a 49 percent chance they sit pat and pick at 21. One percent chance they trade down. How far off am I?
Gerry Dulac
10:19
Not very far. Trading down has never really been in their DNA, other than one time

Do the Steelers view Benton as part of their future or is DL an underrated need that could be addressed very early in the draft?
Gerry Dulac
10:20
They do, but the DL still needs another young body by the end of Day 2
Andrew in ATL

After almost two decades of Coach T's leadership, have you observed any noticeable change in the off-season day to day operation or the culture within the building with the new staff?
Gerry Dulac
10:21
I have not, only because the media is not around the team on a daily basis (heck, even a weekly basis) in the offseason. And neither is the coaching staff and especially the players
Tommy in Florida

Hi Gerry, thanks for the chats. Are we done in Free Agency until the draft, or do you see us picking up a few more role players for the right price?
Gerry Dulac
10:21
I think the only players they will sign are role players who might cause you to go right to Google.

Steelers fans have become extremely negative due the playoff  results of the last decade. But, aside from not having a long-term QB in place, I don't understand the negativity toward 2026 and the future. For me this staff has a clean slate. The long playoff win drought, every season looking the same, the humiliating wild card blowouts. Those are all Tomlin things. I don't think people should assume it's the same old results moving forward. What says you?
Gerry Dulac
10:22
I agree with you. There should be a level of anticipatory excitement about a new beginning, even though it still has the smell of the same old thing at quarterback
Eric Witt
10:23
Gut feeling, do you feel Pittsburgh will go DB-WR- or OL in rd 1 of the draft?
Gerry Dulac
10:23
I think all three are possible, but DB will only mean free safety
Tommy in Florida
10:24
Morning Gerry, thanks for the chats and your insight. So, where does Skylar Thompson stand with Coach McCarthy? Will he be a camp arm, or does he have a shot at pushing Howard or Rudolf? He just totally disappeared after the Ireland incident and we haven't heard much. Your thoughts?
Gerry Dulac
10:24
You haven't because he's not on their expanded roster
Manjo
10:25
Do you now believe that Tomlin will never win an NFL playoff game without Big Ben?
Gerry Dulac
10:25
That will remain true, because if he does come back to coach he will not have Big Ben
Eric Witt
10:26
We Steelers fans love to live in the negatives, Gerry tell us something positive to bring the sun out of the clouds of steeler nation
Gerry Dulac
10:26
That might be akin to trying to squeeze orange juice from turnips
Tommy in Florida
10:26
Regarding the NFLPA survey, can the players mail in their surveys, or will they have to vote in person with their voter registration card and two forms of ID? I don't believe student ID's count anymore....tried that at the airport...LOL
Gerry Dulac
10:26
He's here all week!!

Hey Gerry, out of all the recent signings who are you most interested to see perform at Training camp this year?
Gerry Dulac
10:27
Pittman, of course

Big Will Howard fan here and would like to see him get the chance to start.  But, I'd love to hear from your opinion what are the big knocks against him outside his draft spot.  Not to say he's anywhere near some other 6th round draft QB that became a legend, but, just would like to understand the negatives from another legend like you.
Gerry Dulac
10:30
Obviously 32 teams didn't think much of him last year or he wouldn't have lasted until the sixth round. And it's certainly not about his size or smarts or mental toughness. He's a proven big-game player, which is among the things I like. But it apparently has something to do with his mechanics -- his footwork, his delivery -- and his ability to make all the throws. In other words, the same concerns everyone had about Tom Brady

Good morning Gerry. What does your crystal ball say: more or less wins for the Steelers this season?
Gerry Dulac
10:31
More. I thought they were an 11-6 team last season because I thought they were better than in 2024. And I think they are a better team right now than they were in 2025, so....
Tommy in Florida
10:31
Were you able to get down here to Palm Harbor for Innisbrook? Would've bought you a beer.
Gerry Dulac
10:31
Thanx, but I wasn't. I have been on other side a couple times in the past month or so
Pistol33
10:31
Thanks for the chats Gerry!! If you had to guess what round they go QB and who??
Gerry Dulac
10:34
It has been indicated to me they won't take a QB until the third round at the earliest, and only if they think that player has a bigger upside than Will Howard. Look, one thing I have learned is that all could change. But my understanding is they don't think there's a first-round QB other than Mendoza. And that Ty Simpson stuff? He does not have the size the Steelers seek in a QB. Just look at all the ones they have or have drafted.
Say Hey Kid
10:35
Who will announce the Steelers first round pick?
Gerry Dulac
10:35
Roger Goodell

Hi again Gerry. Would you rather: play in the Masters par 3 tournament or announce the Steelers first round pick on the North Shore in this year’s draft?
Gerry Dulac
10:38
Well, what do you think..??
