Hi Gerry - Thank you for your time!  G. Pickens question.  Any word about G. Pickens working on his routes and creating separation leading up to camp?  I have heard repeatedly that these are two areas of improvement for Pickens.  Thanks Much!
Gerry Dulac
10:32
Can't really tell until they actually go into live drills and play games. But those are areas he had to improve.

Thank you for your time, Gerry!  K. Benton contribution this season?  C. Heyward needed a few seasons before he became a meaningful contributor.  I really like the K. Benton pick, but it doesn't seem real that he could contribute much this season or will less be required of him where he may contribute this season?  How do you see Benton's 1st season playing out?  Thanks Much!

Don't worry, he will contribute. Second-round picks play almost as immediate as No. 1 picks. And they like what they see of him

Who has the best hands on the team?

We all (well, lots of us) love the "idea" of The Mullet making the team, but other than special teams might he have enough value in this offense as a juggernaut beast blocker to ever see him in the backfield?

Don't hold your breath on that one

Gerry, Will four tight ends be enough, or should they sign a fifth?
Gerry Dulac
10:37
Who's the fourth? Because Connor Heyward is not a TE. He's some kind of hybrid.
Big Daddy

Claypool, AB, Lev Bell...we've had a number of incredibly talented players whose mental makeup got in the way of their long-term success / capabilities as a leader. From your interactions with him how does George Pickens compare?
Gerry Dulac
10:39
Well, that's what we're going to find out. But, it's not just the players you mentioned. It's a lot of today's athletes.

Gerry, I get that the Steelers haven't won a playoff game in 6 years and that people loath the non losing season discussion.  With that said, there is a fine line between winning and losing in the NFL.  Something to be said about being in the mix most years.  Many people would like to see MT go.  I say watch what you wish for.  I don't think getting the next Adam Gase would go over well.
Gerry Dulac

And there is a lot to be said for what you just said. They could be rooting for the Pirates, after all.

TJ Watts was recently asked about the amount of money being spent on the Steelers defense and frankly I really liked his answer, “…defense wins championships.” Is he correct in today’s NFL? Thank you.
Gerry Dulac

Not really. You need an offense that can score points. But it helps

Hi Gerry!  Record against Cinci?  I am looking forward to your reports from camp!  I am appreciative that both games with Cinci are later in the season.  Cinci D is different, and I'm not convinced their O line is fixed.  The 2023 Steelers will have had time to cement cohesion and have a chance to split with Cinci.  How many wins are you predicting against Cinci this season, if any?  Thanks Much!

Maybe like last year -- split the series. I'm with ya about their offensive line. But that QB and those 3 receivers...!!

Hi Gerry, moved away many years ago, used to play quite a bit at Champion Lakes.  It was a great track; do you get to play it at all while you are spending training camp time in Latrobe?  Thanks for the chats, a great way for all of the out of towners to stay in touch!!

I do and have many times. I will miss my friend Dick Groat, though

OK kids, that's all the time we have today. Let's do it again next week.
