Hi Gerry - which of the OL are standing out in camp and who wins RT?
Gerry Dulac
1:09
Matt Fieler is an underrated stud. I will fall over if he isn't the starter at RT. But Jerald Hawkins and Chuks Okorafor have both looked very good. And I have been impressed with the rookie draft choice Derwin Gray. He has a guard's body and looks competent. But I need to see him in a game

Hi Gerry.. Any sighting or beliefs of using Rosie Nix / Connor, and establishing a power running game at times  in 2019? (New contract in ‘18 and good ST player - Use him!) Thoughts?
Gerry Dulac
1:09
I sure hope not

Hey G - Is it just me or does it appear that watching the Browns this year will feel familiar with Steelers fans?  They were good on paper too.
Gerry Dulac
1:10
Browns have to go out and show they're better. Until then, I'll reserve judgement

With AB gone, will the Steelers rely on the run more this season?  Will Samuels have more of a role in his second season?
Gerry Dulac
1:12
Depends how many games they're leading or trailing. Their best weapon is their quarterback, and they will rely on him to win games. But the ideal game plan is Bill Cowher's simple approach -- you throw early to run late.

In 2020.. The OLBs will be Watt and _____? A) Ola B) Chick C) None of the above
Gerry Dulac
1:12
Ola.

Hi Gerry - how has Isaiah Buggs looked so far?
Gerry Dulac
1:13
Haven't seen enough of him, to be honest. sorry

How has devin bush looked so far? Lock for week 1 starter?
Gerry Dulac
1:13
To borrow a quote from Tom Donahoe, I don't think they brought him in to lead the band at halftime.
Guest

Gerry, Seeing and listening.. It appears ILB battle may be most intriguing, and a good problem to have.. even the back ups - Thoughts?
Gerry Dulac
1:15
Agreed. Adding Bush and Mark Barron will be a big plus. Also, don't go to sleep on the second-year development of Terrell Edmunds. This kid is a player who can play in the box.

Love the chats Gerry, what are your impressions of Diontae Johnson and the wr group overall?? Will they be able to weather the storm of losing their most productive receiver?
Gerry Dulac
1:15
I like Johnson, what little I've seen. Smooth and crisp route runner who is equally smooth catching the ball

Gerry, big fan of your Steelers reporting, but would like you to stick to sports leave your political views out of it
Gerry Dulac
1:16
I'm still searching for my political views
Bud dupree

Over/under 8 sacks for me this season?
Gerry Dulac
1:16
Over.....I think
412
1:16
What are your thoughts about Megan rapinoe? Just kidding, literally nobody wants to hear you complain about the best player who brought us another World Cup
Gerry Dulac
1:16
Who?
Steel curtain
1:16
Is Steven Nelson the upgrade we need at corner? Still wary of that position group overall
Gerry Dulac
1:17
We shall see, but I commend the Steelers for going out and paying what they did to get a starting corner instead of hoping to find one in the draft or counting on Artie Burns
Steel curtain
1:17
It seems like Benny snell is making a great first impression, even showing off soft hands. Steelers have themself a good one?
Gerry Dulac
1:18
Be patient young man. It's only practice. But at least he doesn't look like a bum
Steel curtain
1:18
How do you view our safeties? Sean Davis worries me but seems Edmunds is moving around better
Gerry Dulac
1:18
Terrell Edmunds is a stud
Steel curtain
1:18
Are the moncrief and Sean Davis injuries considered serious? Any reason for concern with those two?
Gerry Dulac
1:18
No
Primanti Bro
1:18
How big of an upgrade is mark barron compared to our linebackers last year? Think he can make a big impact? Seems like a great guy to mentor Bush
Gerry Dulac
1:19
Compared to last year?? BIG!!
Primanti Bro
1:19
Think we can expect almost double the splash plays from last season? Seems like that will be a major factor in determining if we progress or regress as a team
Gerry Dulac
1:19
That's right. Great defenses make big plays, splash plays, and until this defense does that, nobody is going to be calling them great.
James

Hearing a lot of buzz, again, about Ola. Will translate into playing time over Bud or just camp chatter?
Gerry Dulac
1:20
Camp chatter for now. But the coaches are eager to see his development in year 2. It could have future implications on 48, even the draft.
Ryno
1:20
In your opinion, was there much difference in quality between White and Bush?
Gerry Dulac
1:21
White was bigger. Both are explosive and playmakers. They were 1 and 1A
