Don't dismiss the possibility that next year Dwayne Haskins will be given every opportunity to be the No. 1 quarterback, should Ben not be back.

The Steelers continue to try to run up the middle, with little or no success. Would more off tackle plays provide Najee more space to utilize his exceptional strength and elusiveness?
Gerry Dulac

I thought the running game was much better in Green Bay and will continue to get better with Najee. You can see it already happening.

Tomlin sounded like a politician yesterday when answering all the softball questions that the jock sniffing local media was asking him. Are people afraid of him in these Tuesday press conferences?
Gerry Dulac
11:29
I think after all these years they've discovered that there are many questions he just won't answer. So they don't ask them. Waste of time

They can’t go on playing Ben unless they’re tanking the season. Anyone can see he can’t play anymore. What’s the harm in trying Rudolph at this point? I’m assuming the other players on the team want to win and Tomlin is doing them a disservice by sticking with Ben
Gerry Dulac
11:29
I'll ask the other players.

Hi Gerry, I'm normally a glass half empty guy but with continued improvement of O line and run game (and hopefully pass protection)  healthy WR corps and if defense can resemble previous 2 years play I see Stillers getting back in this thing. Especially if they can win next 2. What do you think?
Gerry Dulac
11:33
All I know is I've been around too long to know how things can turn around. I'm not saying they will, but I've seen it happen before, many times. What happens if they win the next two, get a bye, go to Cleveland and win and they're 4-3? What happens if Lamar Jackson gets hurt? Or Baker Mayfield? Then people will start pointing to a matchup with the Ravens as a big game? Or start pondering late-season possibilites. Let's just wait, ok.

Why does Steelers front office not see that 7 is embarrassing himself & the organization?  What makes ANYONE think that after the 11-0 start last season, he's struggled with his game & injuries, since that time-
Gerry Dulac
11:33
I'll send the front office an email

Gerry.  In your opinion what would it take for Tomlin to bench 7?   The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.  There is a large enough sample size
Gerry Dulac
11:33
He won't.

Gerry.  Give us some hope???? Any positives with this team… just seems to be a dumpster fire  from top to bottom
Gerry Dulac

I think I have pointed up the possibilities throughout the chat. The biggest being -- there are 13 games left. I mean, after they started 1-3 in 2019, did you or anyone ever think they would win eight of their next 10 games with Mason Rudolph and/or Duck Hodges?? The answer to that is easy -- NO!!

If the Steelers end up with a top 10 draft pick do you think they'd use on a potential franchise QB?
Gerry Dulac
11:36
I do, if they think there are one of those available in the draft

Did the whole Decastro fiasco happening so late in the offseason throw off the plans for the OLine?
Gerry Dulac
11:36
Sure it did

Gerry - I saw a stat today that shows the Steelers at the bottom of the league in rush attempts. Understanding that we are always playing from behind due to our slow start to games, but isn’t it an issue that we are one dimensional and putting additional pressure on Ben and the OL which both is obviously not playing well at this point?
Bernard
11:36
What does it say about Mason Rudolph's potential as an NFL starter that the coaching staff doesn't seem to be considering a move despite how poorly Ben is playing?  Or, does it say more about the failures of the OL and WRs?
Gerry Dulac
11:37
Sorry...this answer goes to previous question....I think it's more a result of playing from behind.
As for Rudolph, I think what it says is they have a Hall of Fame QB in front of him
11:38
OK, kids, we're out of time today. Thanx for the questions.
