In hindsight, what should the Steelers have done with Bell after last season ended?
Gerry Dulac
11:18
See ya later, but that's hindsight

So, if Bell signs at the last minute with 8 games to play, are the Steelers essentially paying 6.8 million for a 3rd round 2019 draft pick?
Gerry Dulac
11:19
No, they're paying that money to one of the best RBs in the league.

Mike Tomlin mentioned Brian Allen could be in the mix with Burns issues, do you see that happening soon?
Gerry Dulac
11:21
He just said any and all players will be considered. Don't take that to mean Allen will be a possibility. Take that more as Tomlin not wanting to tell the media anything, that's all.

Hi Gerry - it seems like the LB and secondary play has really stabilized lately. What has led to the improvement?
Gerry Dulac
11:21
The pass rush is the biggest reason. That always makes a secondary better

do you think we really missed an oppurtunity to get a CB yesterday?
Gerry Dulac
11:22
No.

Did Ben break his finger on the quarterback sneak fumble?
Gerry Dulac
11:22
I'm not sure. Ben didn't speak to the media today

Gerry, why does the total yards passing by the QB almost never match the total team passing yards in the game when it’s clear only the QB passed the ball? I see this discrepancy all the time each week. Thanks
Gerry Dulac
11:23
I think they deduct sack yardage
ALB

Much was made of the Steelers’ stupid mistake on the free kick, but didn’t the Browns also make a mistake when they didn’t take the recovery in for a TD?
Gerry Dulac
11:23
You can't advance a free kick fumble
Eddie

I know we don’t have a dependable number 3 wr. Couldn’t they just use Brown Juju James and McDonald on the field together for passing downs and get McDonald more involve with giving him more passes to him.
Gerry Dulac
11:23
Uh, hate to tell you, they already do that
Doug

Gerry - Tomlin is 3 for his last 13 challenges.  An atrocious number, worst in the league since 2015 by a wide margin.  Can we get someone advising him?
Gerry Dulac
11:24
What are you doing Sunday?
Ike Steelheart
11:24
Hi Gerry! If they win on Sunday, 5-2-1 looks good for you for the 1st half of the season?
Gerry Dulac
11:24
Yes it does
Doug
11:24
Gerry - we come out of the gates so slow.  Who is in charge of the first 10 play script of the game?  Whoever it is should change their approach.
Gerry Dulac
11:25
You're being awfully critical of a team that just won three in a row.
Madison

Wouldn’t it be karma if Bell comes back - fails drug test - gets suspended?!
Gerry Dulac
11:25
Delicious

How good do you think the Ravens are? They've been all over the map this year ... kind of like the Steelers.
Gerry Dulac
11:26
To a degree, yes. They started fast and now have slowed to a crawl, losing three of four. Steelers were the opposite. And not as bad
Fan Boyz

Gerry.  Is Tomlin on the hot seat if they don't do well in the playoffs again this year?  Or, is he never on the the hot seat regardless of what happens?
Gerry Dulac
11:27
Depends who is gauging the hot seat -- the fans or the organization?

How has Artie looked in practice this week? Do you see him back on the field against the Ravens?
Gerry Dulac
11:29
Don't know yet. Don't practice till this afternoon. And I don't think it matters. I think he'll be back in the rotation this week.
Eddie
11:29
I think it is safe to say that they should keep Burns on the sideline.
Gerry Dulac
11:32
Disagtree. Talent wise, he's the best they got on that side. You have to give him a chance to continue to let him fight through it. I understand you can only give him so much time, but now is not the time to pull the plug on him.

Are you surprised at the number of trades yesterday?   Is there a philosophy change happening with GMs in the NFL?
Gerry Dulac
11:32
I was and I think it is. Strating to look like the NHL.
11:33
OK kids, that's all the time we have today. Thanx for the questions.
