Could you tell Randy Fitchner that he call way too many WR screen, especially in 2 second or 3rd down and long?.... So frustrating!
Gerry Dulac
10:11
I'll let him know.

The Steelers struggled to close out the game against Denver. Do you think this was more of rust being knocked off or something that will become a reoccurring issue?
Gerry Dulac
10:12
But they did, with a big sack by Edmunds and then a 59-yard run by Conner. I get your concern. They let too many teams hang around. Conversely, they rarely blow teams out. It's how they roll, as they say.

What are your thoughts on Mike Hilton so far?
Gerry Dulac
10:13
Same as yours I'm presuming -- tough bugger at the line of scrimmage. Good blitzer. Great tackler.

With home field advantage muffled without fans, does this make it harder for the Steelers to split their games with Baltimore?
Gerry Dulac
10:13
Maybe no more than the Ravens splitting their games with the Steelers.

Where does the narrative of Ben exaggerating injuries come from? I hear it all the time, but I've never understood it.
Gerry Dulac
10:14
From people who don't like Ben, or the fact that he details his injuries when most of the league is paranoid about revealing injury secrets.
Reggie
10:14
Do you think the Steelers will extend Ben next off-season?
Gerry Dulac
10:14
See earlier answer.

Is Claypool creeping up to #3 WR status? Not a lot of targets, but he sure capitalizes on his opportunities. Is he at least Washington's equal? (PS, love the way he gets into his special teams play)
Gerry Dulac
10:15
Yes he does. He wil keep getting more playing time as he learns the offense, regardless of what number you want to assign him.

Think you should incentivize us by rewarding us.  Meaning, the best question of the week wins a prize.  That prize is it gets asked by PG to the Steelers. Deal?
Gerry Dulac
10:16
I like it. And that just might be the best question of the week.

What are the chances Steelers trade for L Bell at some point this season?
Gerry Dulac
10:16
About as good as them bringing back Antonio Brown.
Sam
10:19
What area on the team has the most room for improvement?
Gerry Dulac
10:20
The run game. Even though they are the only team in the league to have a 100-yard rusher in each of the first two games, they do not come out early in the game and set a tone with the run game.

I like you GD.  If you ever need me to secretly fill in for you over there and give u a break from some of these goofball’ish questions-  just let me know.
Gerry Dulac
10:20
You're on my list. Thanx

Does the yellow line is the distance limit for Roethlisberger passes?
I mean, only 6 pass that traveled 10 yards or more in the last game, that's ridiculous, I hope he will throw deeper more often in the next few games!
Gerry Dulac
10:26
I'll let him know you don't like

Hi Gerry. It seems the Steelers have dominated games in the past several years but they either commit a huge turnover or a senseless penalty keeping teams in the game or outright lose them. Is this a coaching or fundamental issue? What say you?
Gerry Dulac
10:29
It could be a byproduct of both, though I think you're laying too much blame on coaching and not enough on a not-so-smart play or careless play by the player.

Gerry,   Steeler fans with Ben at 221 games, he also has currently 398 TD passes. [regular season, playoff games and Super Bowl's] on Sunday WHEN HE THROWS TWO MORE, I hope the graphic guy down in the CBS truck picks up on that and shows the graphic to the national TV audience.   thanx
Gerry Dulac
10:33
Touche!
PAMMYWHAMMY

Gerry, does the coverage dictate more often than not how deep BR throws? Geesh, he had an 80+ yard TD completion...if it's not open, I'm glad he's checking down....
Gerry Dulac
10:34
The coverage dictates everything.
Franco3272

Thx. I was referring to coaching as Tiki Barber had a fumbling problem early in his career and it was supposedly corrected by coaching
Gerry Dulac
10:36
I'm going to guess Tiki's problems were corrected through hard work, maybe with the help of instruction, but probably because of wanting to get it right.

Is our  Steeler punter Rusty or did we make a mistake?
Gerry Dulac
10:36
Poor bugger has looked a little too much like Jordan Berry the first two games. That's OK for now. Hasn't hurt them.
GM
10:36
Should we trade 34 for a mid/late rounder and place allen in that role?  I don't see him reaching 1st round potential
Gerry Dulac
10:37
I don't think they want to do that.
Guest
10:37
Hi Gerry, why do you think the run game is struggling?
Gerry Dulac
10:37
I wouldn't say a 100-yard rusher in each of the first two games -- only team in the league to say that -- is struggling. But I would like to see them come out early and be able to run with some authority.
GM
10:38
in your crystal ball who ends up with more yards, Ebron, McDonald, or Connor - they all seem to be struggling to get things started
Gerry Dulac

Conner
