Do you think Ben and Washington are going to surprise the Pat’s?
Gerry Dulac
11:09
Ben won't. They will be ready for him. Washington could. I'm curious to see what happens with him in the regular season after what we saw in the preseason.

Gerry, New Englands Offense vs. the Steelers Defense, will this be the key to a Steelers victory Sunday night?
Gerry Dulac
11:09
It always is when facing Tom Brady.

Does the roster trimming process involve the same consensus as the draft?  Or is that more on Tomlin?  Do you have any insight in how those decisions are made?  Thank you.
Gerry Dulac
11:10
Those decisions are made by three people -- Mike Tomlin, Kevin Colbert and even Art Rooney II. Assistants have some input but that's all it is.

Do you think the Steelers are waiting until after week 1 when veterans contracts won’t be guaranteed to sign a TE like Luke Wilson?
Gerry Dulac
11:10
That is possible.

Good Morning.  Thank you for the chat.  Do you still believe that there is going to be any TE addition to the current roster, in the absence of any injuries ? Do you think there is any interest in Legget who got cut by TB last week ?  Thank you very much.
Gerry Dulac
11:11
Do not dismiss the possibility. At this point, the Steelers will go into week 1 with what they have and evaluate from there. That is not an uncommon practice.

Greetings Gerry. Like many, I was surprised by Tomlin getting his coaching extension. I'm not a Tomlin hater, but certainly concerned about the team's chronic losses to bad teams. Also, his management of AB was dismal at best (and his lack of ability to admit his mistakes regarding AB was somewhat childish in my opinion). I hope the Mr. Rooney proves me wrong but I think the contract was a bit premature.
Gerry Dulac
11:14
I didn't think they needed to do it now, either, especially after how the past two seasons have ended. To me, by waiting, they would have been making this a show-me year for Mike Tomlin, even if it was for public posturing. But the Steelers are traditionalists and that's the way they've always done it. Still, I don't believe in getting rid of Tomlin. That's not warranted.

When it became obvious that Wright wasn’t going to beat out Boswell, would it have made sense to bring in someone else to maintain the pressure?
Gerry Dulac
11:15
That became obvious in OTAs, unless Boswell really had issues in the preseason.

How would you rank the AFC North coaches?
Gerry Dulac
11:15
Tomlin, Harbaugh and two unproven guys
Ralph LA
11:15
Last season, did reporters see the Antonio Brown train wreck coming?
Gerry Dulac
11:16
Nobody saw it to that degree. But I could see a change instantly in the guy, and so did the people in the organization
Jenny Talia
11:16
Better statistical season: James Conner or Leveon Bell
Gerry Dulac
11:16
Conner. Don't forget where Bell is playing. And he hasn't played a game in 1 1/2 years
Ralph LA
11:16
Do NFL teams have scouts at each other’s training camps?
Gerry Dulac
11:17
No. They're not allowed access. But they are at other teams' games.

How many players have to be inactive for a game and why does the NFL make teams deactivate players?
Gerry Dulac
11:17
8 including the third QB
Cool Hand Luke
11:17
Starting 11 on D for the first play against the Pats
Gerry Dulac
11:18
79-91-97-48-90-26-98-22-23-21-34

Conner went into Death Valley and beat National Champion Clemson on the road while at Pitt. Just the kind of warrior to go into Foxboro and lead the Steelers to a win....agree??
Gerry Dulac
11:18
Apples and oranges

So Bud Dupree beats the new LT for the Pats and lands a devastating hit/sack/fumble on Brady knocking him out of the game. What year does he go in the Hall of Honor? 2029 or 2030?
Gerry Dulac
11:18
Haha
JeffMcClelland

Do you think that IR (with the return designation) is still a possibility for Layne, Davis or even Ola? I was surprised a move wasn't made after the team only kept five WRs.
Gerry Dulac
11:19
I'm not sure. I don't think so with Ola or Davis, tho.
Lazer
11:19
The COUNTER PLAY!!!! I bet we have a similar play but not the same one! Remember the year we won the sb at Detroit we ran alot of trick plays! Y dont we do that more often?!
Gerry Dulac
11:19
They ran one trick play -- Randle El to Hines Ward TD
Lazer
11:19
Y didn't the Steelers sign Hines Ward after DD passed?
Gerry Dulac
11:20
He was already working with the Jets and was going to be signed full-time, which he was
Moose Van Dyke
11:20
Hargrave a Steeler next year?
Gerry Dulac
11:20
A lot of that depends on Stephon Tuitt. But, yes.
Moose Van Dyke
11:21
If a team signs Marcus Allen, for example, and puts him on their 53 for a game or two, then releases him, is he free to sign with any team's practice squad or does he go back to the Steelers?
Gerry Dulac
11:21
He has to go back through the waiver wire.
