Hi Gerry.  Assuming we draft an o-lineman high in next year's draft, do you believe that Green is still the starting C?  The talent and mean steak is certainly there, but would he be a better fit as a G to move him away from more powerful NT's?  Or does he just simply need to get stronger?
Gerry Dulac
11:13
I think you will see an OL in the first round, probably a guard. Or maybe what you suggest. Give Green a chance. Only been 4 games. He's not that bad.

I honestly like the outlook of our future O-line especially with 53 and 69.  But not so much the OC... I get that this is a long year, but the offense had an extra game to learn and grow the playbook.  So why does it look like we run the same 10 plays?
Gerry Dulac
11:13
That's because they probably do

Is the supposed hip injury to BB a ploy by steeler management to gracefully sit him and open the door to Mason R
Gerry Dulac
11:14
Uh....no!

Hi Gerry, narrative on Ben last year was " arm strength -couldn't throw the deep ball". This year its " immobile - can't move around in the pocket". My question to you is " WHAT POCKET???? "
Gerry Dulac
11:14
Another comedian. But funny

Gary, Blocked field was a scoring play, why no review from NY or the booth
Gerry Dulac
11:14
You can't review penalties. And because of the penalty, it WASN'T a scoring play

Good morning Gerry. Really hate to say this, but the Steelers look stale. The phrase “doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results” comes to mind. I know it won’t happen, but time to move on from Tomlin. I know he won a SB early in his career but it was with a team he basically inherited. Plenty of years where he had enough talent to win more, but he’s failed miserably in that regard. If you look at the last few years, we are trending down. I honestly don’t believe Tomlin is capable of winning another SB in Pittsburgh, so what’s the downside of bringing in new, fresh thinking?
Gerry Dulac
11:18
My goodness, these questions today are longer than the stories I write....All I will say is Tampa Bay fired Tony Dungy years ago because they were tired of him making the playoffs four out of 5 years but getting eliminated early. They hired Jon Gruden and won the Super Bowl the next season

Feel the lack of interceptions caused by the defense in the first 4 weeks (1) is being underreported. What are your thoughts?
Gerry Dulac
11:18
Let me know what is being under-reported....https://www.post-gazette.com/sports/steelers/2021/10/05/pittsburgh-ste...

It's been a great ride with Ben, and I have enjoyed following his career.  Do you see him pulling himself out of the game, if he continues to play poorly?
Gerry Dulac
11:18
I'm not sure I have EVER seen a QB at any level do that.

What specifically do you see as the biggest difference between Ben and the offense the first 10 games of last year vs the most recent 10 games
Gerry Dulac
11:20
Good question. Biggest difference to me -- Ben not having the freedom to change plays and being forced to run ones that -- let's face it -- ain't exactly working
Truth be Told
11:20
Gerry - don't you think the only reason that Ben came back was to run up another year of stats so that he could pass Philip Rivers and be the undisputed QB#1 from the 2004 class (stats and SB rings)?  Given his ego and history of 'me-first' behavior, it seems obvious.  Front office and coaches seem ok with this, similar to the Lakers and their lousy farewell season tour for Kobe Bryant.  Problem for Ben, this is a contact sport and tough to imagine the O-line being this bad so he's likely to get knocked out before he gets there. Not that there is an Aaron Rodgers or Steve Young waiting in the wings, but he can't get rid of the ball much faster so seems like we are in for more of the same until the end of the season or until he gets himself really hurt.  What say you?

Hi Gerry, no one really talking about how much Alu Alu and Tuitt being out has affected the D performance to date. How big of an impact do you think this has been how big going forward?
Gerry Dulac
11:20
It
11:22
Oops....It's been a big impact right now. Losing 2 of your top 3 D-linemen is not good, either when the depth is average at best. Tuitt had 11 sacks last season. Alualu keeps blockers off Bush and Schobert. Not sure if it's going to get better or worse, but right now it's a huge blow

You won’t, because you can’t admit fault, but please tell me how this teeet was rude or disrespectful and deserved a block:
Gerry Dulac
11:23
Not sure to which you are referring...When I see it, I will refer it to my committee that blocks incoming tweets and I will review.

Hi Gerry, getting frustrated with the NFL. Missed the whole 1st qtr sitting thru a 10 min overtime that took 31 min. Then 5 min of commercials. Why did they not review the bad call on Hayden when is was a scoring play?
Gerry Dulac
11:23
See above answer...Because it was a penalty, and penalties aren't reviewable

Has Ben made any comments about what he's thinking about doing with his life after his playing days are over?
Gerry Dulac
11:24
I'll ask him
Alan from Indy

Gerry, Quickest turn around. Steelers or Rickie Fowler?
Gerry Dulac
11:24
Steelers

How did Minkah Fitzpatrick become another Terrell Edmunds?
Gerry Dulac
11:24
That's your opinion
TXSteeler
11:25
Again, doubt seriously you’ll address this for the same reasons you blocked me but a few weeks ago you said the following tweet merited blocking because it was rude and disrespectful. Please explain how it is and is not just an example of you continuing to be overly sensitive when you are simply shown something you stated was incorrect: “Sorry Gerry, but every cap site has Schobert counting around $1.75mm against the cap this year after Jax paid down half (yes sir half) of his salary and he restructured the other portion. With respect, you are badly mistaken when you said he counts $7.5 against the cap”. I mean, shouldn’t you just accept that you were mistaken, be thankful, and move on?
Gerry Dulac
11:25
I think I did. You musta missed that. But thanx for the reminder.

Strength of the Steelers is supposed to be the pass rush. Packers were playing with 4 new offensive linemen. So why only rush 3 for most of the game?
Gerry Dulac
11:26
They dropped TJ Watt into coverage more times than I think is necessary.

Gary, other than Munchak, isn’t it funny how no one ever wants to hire a Steelers assistant for their team?
Gerry Dulac
11:26
Pay the man!

Roll with Mason next year and draft your future QB in rd 1.  Tell me, is this the best option?
