Do you think it's ridiculous that WE continuously must read/hear who the DC is, or who is actually making the calls?
Gerry Dulac
10:26
Yep

Was signing of Fitzpatrick at this time an example of Khan's approach to signing key players earlier rather than right before start of regular season?
Gerry Dulac
10:26
See earlier answers

Any chance Leglue has a chance to win the other guard spot over Dotson and Green?  He seemed to do a solid job at the end of last year in addition the entire line seemed to perform better once he and JC were starting.
Gerry Dulac
10:27
I don't know that he will beat out either player, especially Green, but he showed last year he can be a nice piece to the puzzle.

Just read Joe Starkey's piece on quarterback competition.  Your thoughts on subject?  Agree-disagree?  Thanks.
Gerry Dulac
10:27
I'll have to go read it, not that I need to know what's going to happen

If, as a QB, you choose number 2 as your jersey number aren’t you sealing your career fate?
Gerry Dulac
10:28
Haha

Gerry, love your work! Hypothetical: if Mitch far exceeds expectations, how can you let him leave/trade him? Could we looking at a Lance/Love situation?
Gerry Dulac
10:29
That is always a possibility, especially if, like the 49ers and Packers, they over-evaluated their No. 1 pick
Utah Jim
10:29
With the front office changes will they finally be able to draft CBs?
Gerry Dulac
10:30
That will be the real litmus test of their ability

Hi Gerry - any thoughts on how well Wormley, Loudermilk, or Leal can fill the void left by Tuitt?
Gerry Dulac
10:31
I will tell you this: They think an awful lot of Loudermilk. I'm not going to sit here and say he's Tuitt, but they think he can be a really good player. Same with Leal, but he has to get bigger.
JerseySteel

Hi Gerry - does Kazee have any chance to unseat Edmunds or is it locked down like Edmunds says?
Gerry Dulac
10:31
Of course he has a chance. But, if nothing else, the Steelers did a good job of solidifying their depth at that position by adding Kazee

Coach Cowher commented on how hard it is to have a real QB competition with three QBs, something he tried to do after O'Donnel left. Time and only three pre-season games the reason. Is the talk of a fierce competition by Coach Tomlin just window dressing and decisions (barring something dramatic) already been made?
Gerry Dulac
10:32
I don't see it being fierce at all. I think the plan is already set in their minds and they are just waiting to see if anything changes that.

Can you see a scenario where Trubisky flourishes here and meets his draft expectations and they trade Pickett? That has been speculated by some fans and I just don't see that happening. Do you?
Gerry Dulac
10:33
None at all. Plus, I didn't know fans speculate. Huh.
Holden Cox
10:34
Gerry, do you believe there is a true QB competition? I believe they will eventually trade Mason during camp when/if another team's backup gets hurt. But between Mitch and Kenny, is it a true competition or would Trubisky have to overtly stink for Tomlin to start Kenny week 1?
Gerry Dulac
10:34
I think you're on to something there HC

10:34
If Haden plays for free, is there room on the team?
Gerry Dulac
10:34
He's not playing for free, if he plays
BPOS
10:34
What's the vibe and expectation on Levi Wallace and whether he'll be a difference-maker or just another guy. Quality starter or more of a backup?
Gerry Dulac
10:35
I  wouldn't call him a difference-maker because he hasn't been that, but I think he was a solid addition -- a starter-capable guy
Set-man
10:35
How many years does Matt Canada have to prove himself? If his offense doesn’t work this year, is he out?
Gerry Dulac
10:35
I'm surprised he gets another year. But this will be it if what we watched last year doesn't change.

Tell me why it is simply foolish to be optimistic that this team can go 10-7 - make the playoffs - beat the Browns and Ravens twice - and be a team to be reckoned with.  I'm sick of the downers around the burgh.  Get your game on people!!!!  Or am I foolish in my old age Gerry.
Gerry Dulac
10:37
I didn't think 45 was old!! Hey, how many people thought the Steelers would do what they did last year -- sweep the Browns and Ravens and make playoffs? You could fit those that did in a telephone booth...if they still had telephone booths

Would the NFL factor in Watson's lost season (2022) as part of their decision on how long to suspend him?
Gerry Dulac
10:37
I hope not

Hello . Thank you as always for the chat . Mark Kaboly of the Athletic wrote that Mason Rudolph looked the best among QB in spring practices . Do you share that opinion ? Thank you very much .
Gerry Dulac
10:38
They all look good in shorts. I don't evaluate spring practices. Neither do the coaches, at least, not seriously
Larry Jackson
10:38
When do you see the Chris Boswell extension getting done? Is it likely he is signed before the season?
Gerry Dulac
10:39
Maybe. But it will get done.

Is being called 'dear Gerry' a first for you in these chats? I mean ... I am sure that you are ...
Gerry Dulac
10:39
Haha. Better than just being called "dear" I suppose.
