No. I listened on radio because of the blackout. I was there the following week for the loss to the Dolphins
Stairway to seventh seed

Gerry: if Broderick Jones had not been a recent 1st round pick, but the Steelers situation at left tackle was exactly the same as it is now, wouldn't everybody be saying that left tackle is the biggest need?  I am sure everyone is as tired of taking 1st round tackles as I am, but Dylan Cook and an injured Jones?  Yikes.
Gerry Dulac
11:39
Yes they would

Would the only one be Franco Harris? I agree! Do you know what Rocky Bleier is doing these days? His is a great story that needs to live in Steeler lore
Gerry Dulac
11:40
Yes, Franco. Rocky is still around. I saw him at a Steelers event I emceed in the fall
Looks good as ever

I am not disparaging Howard as I think he definitely deserves a shot - no doubt a proven winner although I would credit that mostly to the cast around him at Ohio State.  Assuming Rodgers returns and they do not draft a QB, Howard will likely hold the clipboard and not develop as the 3rd QB behind Rudolph.  But, drafting Allar would push both Howard (and Allar) in a training camp competition and may even result in Rudolph being shown the door as Rudolph's ceiling IMO is that of a good backup. So, back to my original question, do you think they might take a chance on Allar in the 3rd if he is available?

I'm not going to say no, and I get your point

Gerry - do you know if “Bill from LA” lives in Los Angeles or Louisiana?
Gerry Dulac
11:46
I believe it's Los Angeles

I may need someone to start a Go Fund Me page soon

Give it time

I really hope they work out a platform to keep you all interacting with the fans. Really enjoyable and I appreciate your time in doing it.
Gerry Dulac
11:46
Stay patient. We'll know soon

What position do you think the Steelers are likely to draft in the first round?
Gerry Dulac
11:47
Any number to be honest. It could be WR, S, TE, G, DT

Just an addendum for those who do not know: Rocky Bleier was wounded in Vietnam and told he might never walk again. The Steelers did not give up on him and gave him a chance. He teamed up in a great Steeler backfield with Franco and caught a TD in a Super Bowl!
Gerry Dulac
11:47
Thanx, though I believe his story is well documented
Chill Dave

As much as I like Herbig, I think the best way for the Steelers to get picks in next year's draft is to trade him.  Any thoughts?
Gerry Dulac
11:48
I think the trade would involve someone ahead of him
Ned Ryerson

Thanks for the great coverage and I hope to see you beyond the whole PG debacle. Could your Masters pick be Aberg?  He seems to be near the top of leaderboards lately.
Gerry Dulac
11:48
Aberg will be right there. Second and 7th in his first two Masters
Chill Dave

I know you're referring to Watt, but to trade out of that contract, what do you think they could get?
Gerry Dulac
11:49
Not what they could've had in return last year

Truly appreciate the chats you and your colleagues host. I see that some of even the highly rated tackles in this draft are viewed as perhaps benifitting from a move inside to guard. Do you think the Steelers would select such as prospect in the early rounds with an eye to making such a position switch?
Gerry Dulac
11:51
They had that in mind when they drafted Fautanu. Not that they were going to do that, but it was in the back of their minds. Actually, a lot of guards end up that way

Do you see Mount Washington's role as a pass catcher regressing under McCarthy? He is know for his blocking, but it is so much fun to see that big man rumble down the field.
Gerry Dulac
11:51
Depends how much they want to utilize 88 and multiple WRs
11:52
OK kids, that's all the time we have today. See you next week, eh?
