OK kids, let's get our chat started. I'm coming at you a day earlier than usual so hope you dont mind....

What is the biggest upgrade this offseason... I'm thinking Queen, A Smith or the punter-
Gerry Dulac
10:01
Queen definitely, but don't under-estimate the punter.
Mike from NY

Hi Gerry. Do you see the Steelers making any surprise cuts today? Do you see them picking up a WR cut from another team?
Gerry Dulac
10:02
I really don't, but you never know. And I think the possibility of picking up a WR is pretty good.
Andrew from Johnstown
10:02
Good morning Gerry! What will be the starting OL in Atlanta? Thanks.
Gerry Dulac
10:04
That's still to be determined. But if they think Fautanu is healthy, it will be, left to right Moore/Jones, Seumalo, Frazier, Daniels, Fautanu. But it could be Moore, Seumalo, Frazier, Daniels, Jones.

I get the backup QB  is always the best player on the team thing, but why is there even talk about Fields starting. He is Uber athletic and talented but just not a good quarterback. He barely has double digit wins in his career. Fans can be fans, but what is with professional coaches and GM's constantly thinking players will all of a sudden become superstars?
Gerry Dulac
10:04
10 wins in three years. 10! I think people should remember that.
the real guest
10:04
Gerry, I think Omar and Andy are going to make a lot  (4 to 5) of waiver wire moves. What say you?
Gerry Dulac
10:05
No, I don't think it's that many, I say 2-3
MG

Do you have a particular road-trip restaurant that you look forward to every year? Any city
Gerry Dulac
10:05
Yes, Indy
Dave

Hi Gerry, I believe you've reported that Fautanu will be the starter at RT and that his injury is not serious enough to keep him from starting Week 1.  Have the Steelers made any decisions on starting LT?
Gerry Dulac
10:06
Not yet. Let's see how Fautanu is coming along. But I'm curious to see how they handle it.

Defensive line - will it surprise with upside from Leal, a healthy Ogunjobi, or is it just a strong preseason driven off of facing second team offenses?
Gerry Dulac
10:07
I'm not sure it was a strong preseason.
Mar

Do you think Nick Herbig and Keanu Benton will be the future of Steelers and how do you think Joey Porter has looked so far
Gerry Dulac
10:09
Yes. But that's still not enough. They need to go get another Cam Heyward for the defensive line. What they have is not enough. They need to pay attention to the DL the next two years the way they did the OL.
Dave
10:09
Hi Gerry,With no immediate game to prepare for and the added distraction of cutdown day, what is the tenor and focus of the Steelers' practices this week?
Gerry Dulac
10:09
Not what you think they might be.
Guest
10:09
You said Pruitt eventually a lock if so is heyward in danger? Will they really keep 4 TEs active for gameday?
Gerry Dulac
10:10
I didn't say a lock, I said I think he will make the team. But it has no effect on Heyward. He makes the team.
Yates
10:10
Hi Gerry-  Recognize the new OC likes to use TEs and the 4 most people think will be on roster offer unique value propositions.   But four seems excessive.  Wouldn’t it make more sense to use one of those slots at a different position?
Gerry Dulac
10:11
It will be 3 TEs plus Connor Heyward.
Ryan
10:11
Gerry what do you think about the play of Nick herbig he looked good this pre season
Gerry Dulac
10:11
Well I think they need to find a way to get this guy on the field even more. I think eventually he forces Alex Highsmith out.
TomB
10:12
Thanks for chatting Gerry! How do players cut after today but before game # 1 get paid?
Gerry Dulac
10:12
Depends on their contract
Jake
10:12
Terrell Edmunds worth a look for depth since he got released?
Gerry Dulac
10:13
No. But nothing surprises me
Kris from Philly
10:14
Does John Metchie III seem like a realistic trade target the Steelers can pivot too if Aiyuk doesn’t work out (which I assume it won’t)?
Gerry Dulac
10:15
Trade? For a guy who caught 16 passes last season?
Yates
10:15
Gerry/. Which former Steeler that is on another team’s roster would you love to have back on the team?  Would you take Dotson over Daniels?
Gerry Dulac
10:15
Right now, I'd take Diontae Johnson
Kris from Philly
10:15
What percentage would you guess on the Steelers making a WR trade before the season starts next Thursday?
Gerry Dulac
10:15
Not sure, but the percentage keeps shrinking
Jeff B
10:16
In your opinion-What is  the position that most likely gets attention from the cut list?
Gerry Dulac
10:16
CB, WR
AiyukMetchiePatrick
10:16
WR Question: Why do people call it a WR “Core” now? Its Corps.
