Gerry, love the chats. Darius Slay looked like an aging CB on Sunday, should we be concerned?
Gerry Dulac
10:27
One game

Quick recap: we get a W on the opening weekend, and it was on the road!  Ravens get a L!  Tied for first in the division.  We confirmed AR still has it.  Yes, some things need work.  Would you say this was a good start to the season?
Gerry Dulac
10:28
Of course it was. Good for the confidence that all the new players on offense can make a difference. And that was without a running game
Greenwood

Hi Gerry. Is there any talk of having Yahya Black play NT? Not saying he'd instantly be a Big Snack, but he is a bigger body than Benton. I've always liked Benton, but he seems built more like a 3-4 End than NT.
Gerry Dulac
10:30
I agree Benton is more suited at DT than NT in 3-4 defense. But I don't think they are ready to put Black in that role

Hi Gerry. After recent years of watching football on Monday night, Thursday night, Friday night and 1:00 PM on a Christmas Day Wednesday, I have finally figured out Roger Goodell's mantra for the NFL:  "Our top priority is $afety."

What took you so long??

Hi Gerry - Is it time to start questioning the Khan/Weidl draft picks? They were meant to fix the trenches and they got blown off the ball on both sides. Jones, Roman Wilson, Kaleb Johnson - not trending well at all. Is there anyone in 3 years of picks that is trending towards a pro bowler?
Gerry Dulac
10:30
I think I'll wait on that one if it's OK by you

Gerry, at what point does Pat Meyer start bearing the brunt of what’s been a subpar O-line during his tenure? It’s either him or poor draft assessment by Omar and HCMT.
Gerry Dulac
10:31
Well, he's been bearing the brunt if what I hear from the fan base is any indication
Jim

Good morning Sir, What moves would Coach Gerry make to have the run defense be more stout(er)?
Gerry Dulac
10:32
Switch to a 4-3
Dave N
10:32
Is that Defense Elite???
Gerry Dulac
10:32
Never thought it was. Not until they prove they can stop the run

Gerry, why did no other teams pick up Peppers when he was cut by NYG?
Gerry Dulac
10:33
What's that tell you? But he's probably here for the short term anyway until Elliott returns
John
10:33
The 3:4 defense doesn't work anymore. Simple math. 5 big guys against 3 big guys and 2 medium guys.
Gerry Dulac
10:33
And what about when they go to their nickel and dime, which they do predominantly, when there are just two D-linemen??
Dick Hertz
10:33
Gerry, it’s one game but Cam got manhandled. Shouldn’t he be fresh and maybe the Steelers were right knowing Father Time was coming. Do you agree?
Gerry Dulac
10:34
I do not. I never make any judgements, good or bad, after one game

Hey Gerry. I see now that Broderick Jones gave up 3 sacks this past Sunday.  That gives him 26 sacks given up in 28 games he has started.   I am no offensive line expert but that seems pretty bad.  If he has another performance like Sunday do you think Tomlin will bench him or do you think he will give him a few more games to work it out?
Gerry Dulac
10:35
Well, another performance like that -- 3 sacks allowed -- and it might be time for a quick response
City Limits
10:35
Gerry, do you think the Steelers running game is another indictment of the O-line being bad?
Gerry Dulac
10:35
It all goes hand in hand
Dick Hertz
10:35
Gerry, MLB seems to be a major problem. Is it because of the personnel or because the front DL stinks too?
Gerry Dulac
10:36
I think your use of "major" is just a bit of an overstatement
Guest
10:36
Gerry, in hindsight, would we have been better off taking Christian Gonzalez in 2022 instead of Broderick, will he get a 5th year?
Gerry Dulac
10:36
Not if he doesn't play any better than he did Sunday
Beal
10:36
Thanks for the chats. If you were a fan, would you be more or less optimistic after week 1 (as opposed to prior to week 1)
Gerry Dulac
10:37
Ah, but I'm not. But you should be optimistic. Why not??
Guest
10:37
Hi Gerry. How many more games for Jones to turn things around at LT before Tomlin makes a change?
Gerry Dulac
10:37
Depends what it means to "turn things around." Right now, he's the one getting turned around
Sean
10:37
whats the latest on DH knee, any chance he plays this week
Gerry Dulac
10:37
No, but could be back next week
Guest
10:37
Hi Gerry. Surprised at the low snap count for Roman Wilson in week one?
Gerry Dulac
10:38
A little, but I wouldn't read too much into that
OK kids, we're out of time. Thanx for the questions.
