Is Jordan Berry's job in jeopardy? I see that they brought in Richie Leone for a tryout yesterday.
Gerry Dulac
10:20
I don't think so but you never know with punters.

What is your take on the LB depth outside of the starters?
Gerry Dulac
10:21
It is not great, that's sure, especially on the inside. I think Highsmith has a good chance to be a better backup at OLB than Anthony Chickillo

I have read the Steelers are asking Minkah to do more this year. This kind of worries me.  I believe, especially in sports, if it ain’t broke don’t fix it.
Gerry Dulac

Nobody with the Steelers has ever said that. Outsiders are speculating that, wondering if he will, but the Steelers have not indicated that he will. I'm sure there are some instances where he will have more freedom, mainly because he is now in his second season with the team. But don't expect to see him roam like Troy Polamalu or be moved to corner or anything like that. There is not reason to do that with the other players in that secondary.

Hello Jerry when will the Steelers cap situation be better
Gerry Dulac
10:25
Not just the Steelers, the entire league.

How is the order in the running back room looking? Is jaylen samuels gonna make this team?
Gerry Dulac
10:26
As of right now, I'd say yes. Their top 4 running backs -- Conner, Snell, Samuels and McFarland -- each bring a different skill set to the room.

Hello, Mr. Dulac and thank you for the awesome chats! A lot has been made of the players we’ve lost (Bell, Brown, Hargrave, etc.) bit I think one of the most damaging losses was that of offensive line coach Mike Munchak. The offensive line just hasn’t seemed the same since his departure. Good coaching contributes immensely to overall team success, as evidenced by Coach Tomlin’s job last year. Would you agree?
Gerry Dulac
10:28
I would agree whole-heartedly. Where Much is and will be missed is in the development of their young offensive lineman. Pouncey, DeCastro, Villanueva, even Feiler, have already been exposed to him. But a player like Dotson or even Okorafor miss out on not having Munch. That's no knock against any other coach. It's just points up Munch's impact on the team.

Your partner in crime, Ray P (and others) has complimented Mason Rudolph for his poise, decisions, and accuracy.  What is your opinion?
Gerry Dulac
10:29
I would agree, especially if you mean Ray F.
John Rushing
10:29
Hello Jerry do you think the Steelers have any interest in Leonard fournette
Gerry Dulac
10:29
None

Good Morning Gerry. If Decastro is healthy for opener, who do you see as starters for the rest of the O-Line?
Gerry Dulac
10:29
78-71-53-66-76, left to right on your radio dial. That's just for the opener.

I've heard good things about Curtis Riley so far. What are your impressions of him? What are you hearing about him?
Gerry Dulac
10:30
I am hearing they are very comfortable having him as the backup to Fitzpatrick at free safety. Write it down.

Hi Gerry, i keep hearing our back up long snapper is not identified yet, and over on an Asked and Answered it was said that they normally protect that identity to avoid that player being targeted before he is needed. Do you think the team has identified their backup and just does not want to share it yet?
Gerry Dulac
10:31
Yes they have. It's either Pouncey or Vance McDonald.
John Rushing
10:31
Gerry do you think the Steelers going to resign Cam Hayward
Gerry Dulac
10:31
Yes. That is their top intention.

Is Switzer back in the receiver rotation?  Heard much about him early but not so much now???
Gerry Dulac
10:31
Yes he is. Came back to practice on Monday. I believe he will be one of the six receivers they keep. I'll be surprised if he isn't.
chuck Mac
10:31
Holding for Boswell is not something to take for granted. It must be at least a tie-breaker for Berry as a punter in the roster???
Gerry Dulac
10:32
You might think, but in all my years I have never heard that to be a reason for keeping one punter over another.

Who's the one Steeler that wouldn't surprise you if they cut, but most of us expect him to be on the team?
Gerry Dulac
10:33
Normally I would say Dan McCullers, but he seems to have nine lives. Certainly seven.
KH
10:33
Is Tuitt 120% healthy?
Gerry Dulac
10:34
There is no such thing as 120 percent healthy, especially after any surgery.
RJT
10:34
Will Switzer have any role on offense?  I can only see him on the field in 5 receiver sets.
Gerry Dulac
10:34
Probably right about that.
Guest
10:34
Does Cain make the team Gerry? Or, is there another receiver they like as the 6th?
Gerry Dulac
10:35
I think he might have a tough time sticking. I think that 6th WR could be Ray-Ray McCloud.
