Haha. It's not just you. He's a tough, physical player

Not only does Highsmith give us a third OLB, other teams make big plays against us when Watt needs rest. We need to keep him for the season.
Gerry Dulac
10:33
I don't think you have to worry about that

Brad10:33Bengals defense was weak before Trey Hendrickson’s injury.  If he’s out, look for offensive fireworks Thursday in Queen City!
OK, I'll alert them

With Jalen Warren's vision and powerful running, what was the reason for splitting carries among three backs?  If you gave him more carries, with his yards per carry, it would've made a difference.  Why limit his carries?
Gerry Dulac
10:35
They're not splitting carries, just some playing time. And he was coming back from injury against the Browns, so they weren't going to over-work him

Good morning, Mr. D.  Seems like the offense is running much more efficiently than we've seen in a number of years.  Is it safe to say that Coach T has (or has begun to) let go of the reins - allowing his OC and QB run the show?
Gerry Dulac
10:36
I wouldn't go that far because we don't see a lot of downfield passing. But, with a vet like Rodgers, who has seen everything, you are seeing a lot of movement of personnel at the line of scrimmage. That's what he does best

Gerry, James Franklin is a great recruiter. Guys want to play for him. He has won a ton of games but can't beat the top teams. He has had very little post season success. Couldn't I just as easily be describing Mike Tomlin?
Gerry Dulac
10:36
No you're not
Joe

No coach has a great record on the record on the road Thursday nights ( under .500 winning %) but Tomlin ‘s winning % is like four times worse, with a .100 winning %. Why?
Gerry Dulac
10:37
I need to see more data

Gerry, your colleague Chris Carter was adamant that Coach Austin is in complete control trim of the game plan and game day calls and that Mike T doesn’t involve himself any more than any other HC. You have long said Mike T runs the defense. Which is it
Gerry Dulac
10:37
You are allowed to believe what you want

Could you please explain the onside kick rules for me?  I was under the impression that you had to notify the refs prior to the attempt.  When the Seahawks recovered the kick in the end zone without a Steeler touching the ball, it was kicked ten yards down the field and recovered.  Why isn't that an onside kick?
Gerry Dulac
10:38
That wasn't an onside kick

College football is minor league football, they should not be sharing a field with the Pros. Nice marriage til we lose our kicker for the year because the kids were messingup the lawn. Is there any chance we stop sharing our stadium in the future?
Gerry Dulac
10:38
I wish there was

Do they view Darnell Washington as a luxury on early downs and short yardage...he either helps immensely with the run blocking or is a built-in 5 or 6 yard gain because he simply can't get dragged down any sooner.  Feels like he provides a great way to get ahead of down and distance and complement what they want to do offensively.
Gerry Dulac
10:39
He does. I've thought for a couple years they should use him more than they were in the pass game.
TXSteeler

Not trolling, honestly want to know. You reported that the NFL mandated when the Steelers could travel to Ireland. The NFL came out and said it was in the teams control. What’s the truth?
Gerry Dulac
10:39
The NFL told me it's up to the teams, but I will tell you the team has told me the NFL has some say in it

Gerry a few questions for Mike Tomlin since I can’t be in his press conferences…Why are so many other 6’5’ 250 ish tight ends (LaPorta and Kincaid are actually smaller, Kelce, Ertz, Higbee, Goedert…) not taken off the field against 4-3 defenses? Secondly, why did YOU sign a tight end who has this deficiency to a big contract last year? And lastly Mike, do you actually believe the insulting lies that you spew at your press conferences? This being a textbook example of which there are many more!
Gerry Dulac
10:41
I agree whole-heartedly with those first two points. And nobody said coaches have to tell the truth

Good morning Gerry.  Tomlin doesn't normally call people out, but his comments about Andrew Berry seemed very personal.  Annoyed he has to face Flacco or something else?
Gerry Dulac
10:42
They certainly did. He never does that. Never calls out another team, much less their GM
Epiballo
10:42
Umm … why is Tomlin 15-4 after bye weeks??
Gerry Dulac
10:42
Right. Circumstance? Coaching? Easy to say, difficult to determine
Joe

From Alex Kozura: “Wrote about it this morning. Tomlin 2-9 on the road on Thursday night games. His .182 win % is far lower than NFL average of .431.”
Gerry Dulac
10:42
Who?
Rick

45 yards passing for $20M per year.   Is it time for the weekly post of Fields' record as a starter outside of Pittsburgh?
Gerry Dulac
10:43
It's 10-36 in case you're wondering.
OK kids, we're out of time. Gotta run. Thanx for the questions
