Good morning Gerry,
Hope you are well sir, What is your biggest surprise thus far in camp?
Gerry Dulac
9:52
The CBs -- Asante Samuel Jr. and Daylen Everette. And they're not even the starters

Good morning Gerry. Saw your article on keeping 4 QBs. Glad to see someone finally agreeing with me. Maybe Howard or Allar turns out to be the starting guy. Maybe Mason plays so well they resign him next year. Maybe they sell the farm to draft a perceived franchise QB. Nevertheless, they HAVE to keep 4 this year.
Gerry Dulac
9:53
I'll tell them.

Does Christopher Carter still work for the PG ?
Gerry Dulac
9:54
Yes he does

Hi Gerry, thanks for the chat!  How possible/likely is it that the Steelers keep 9 of their draft picks, with Wetjen & Heidenreich fighting it out for a roster spot? If not, who is the other drafted rookie who will struggle to make the team? RSJ? Rubio?
Gerry Dulac
9:55
They didn't draft Wetjen in the fourth round to cut him. He's a lock. The other three you mentioned are not.

The Commanders just lost their LT to triceps surgery.  Would Omar be open to trading Jones to a LT needy team like DC?  Conditional 2nd and a late-round pick swap?
Gerry Dulac
9:56
A 2nd round pick? Really? I think he would listen if someone would offer a No. 2 pick for a player fighting back from spinal fusion surgery

Gerry: Warren Sharp published a stunning statistic.  The Steelers 2025 defense ranked 826 out of the 830 defenses this century in 4th quarter stop rate.  They would have been even worse if Detroit didn't have a penalty which wiped out a late TD or Baltimore made that last kick.  This is a staggering level of ineptitude from the highest paid defense in NFL history.  Do you think the cause was coaching/scheme, poor conditioning, or just massively overpaid players who don't deliver at crunch time?
Gerry Dulac
9:56
Maybe a little of each, though most of it is the former.

Gerry I’m just sayin’ that this is the first time that Mason Rudolph has has real coaching and an NFL caliber scheme to run. Possibilities abound!
Gerry Dulac
9:57
He is more excited about it than you are.
Rich in CBus

Could the Steelers be enough enamored with the CB room to trade JP for a first round pick
Gerry Dulac
9:57
No. But what makes you think he would command a first-round pick??

Hi Gerry, What would be the biggest accomplishment for the Steelers this Thursday ... besides no injuries?
Gerry Dulac
9:58
Gets snaps for their young QBs
Andrew Poni

Percent chance JPJR gets an extension before the pigskin is kicked off on September 13?
Gerry Dulac
9:58
I think he will but that will be up to him
Kris Muller
9:58
Gerry, do you think Mason Rudolph could fetch an early day 3 pick? Or a pick swap such as a 4th for a 6th?
Gerry Dulac
9:59
I'm not sure they could get one that high.
Kris Muller
9:59
Gerry, did Mike Tomlin really stay in a regular form or did he have his own apartment in Latrobe?
Gerry Dulac
9:59
He stayed in the dorms -- but a nicer dorm
Dom DiTomatoHead

Gerry, do you think the Steelers will cut Will Howard and try to stash him on the practice squad?
Gerry Dulac
9:59
Not unless he bombs in the preseason.
Dom DiTomatoHead
9:59
Gerry, why did the Steelers cut the tallest receiver they had who had shown flashes in camp?
Gerry Dulac
10:00
Just because he's tall doesn't mean he's good
Dom DiTomatoHead

Will the new owners of the PG allow you guys to actually fly to road games this year?
Gerry Dulac
10:00
We have always flown to away games, unless they're drivable like Baltimore, Cincy, Cleveland.
Tommy in Florida

Good Morning Gerry, Other than Aaron Rodgers playing defense, What's new and exciting out of camp? Is there anyone who is making it suprisingly difficult that'll end up making the final 53? Thanks for your chats. Love your insight.
Gerry Dulac
10:02
The coaches -- and me -- need to see these guys play in a preseason game before they can make any judgements on cuts

Hi Gerry.  Given all the talk of the wr 3 position, does it really matter who gets named wr 3 on paper?  I can see the wr 3 position becoming more of a 50/50 split between Wilson and Bernard based on the play call being that they have different skill sets.
Gerry Dulac
10:04
No, it really doesn't. Three and four can be interchangeable, depending on the play call and formation
Dom DiTomatoHead
10:04
Gerry, any fire to the smoke about Tomlin not liking Latrobe?
Gerry Dulac
10:05
None

Gerry, Andy Weidl has done an amazing job with both the OL and DL.  Do you think they can focus on skill positions now.  I think a first round QB is possible now.
Gerry Dulac
10:06
Only if they get a chance at a first-round QB they like. And depending what they see from their two young QBs
