OK, we will start our chat in just a couple minutes so get ready w your questions.
10:55
Ok, kids, here we go....

i know we're a 3-4, but it ain't working..  how difficult to go with 4-3 (revive/relive 70's); Cam-Big Dan-Harv-Steph, pressure up middle.. BUD, TJ can crash the party or drop back
Gerry Dulac
10:56
Reliving the 70s ain't working either
Adam

If you're the Steelers what would you do about Bell?  Should we promise him a big payday, bench him when he returns, trade him for a 5th round pick?
Gerry Dulac
10:57
I personally wouldn't be at this point w him. The moment he decided not to report on Labor Day I would have rescinded the franchise tag. He didn't uphold his end of the bargain, I wouldn't uphold mine. See ya

Hi Gerry- How do you account for the fact that we keep hearing and seeing the confusion and uncertainty around this defense? Sounds like an old question, but it keeps rearing its ugly head.
Gerry Dulac
10:58
It's another way of saying guys don't know their assignments. Period
Adam
10:58
Is it time to accept that the Steelers missed on several critical first round draft picks such as Jarvis Jones, Bud Dupree, and perhaps Artie Burns who all failed to live up to their draft pedigree.
Gerry Dulac
10:58
I wouldn't put Burns and Dupree in that category yet, but I get your point.
Bell
10:59
Would the Steelers franchise Bell again next year at a 12 Mil number if arbitrators agree?
Gerry Dulac
10:59
Nope. You would have to be a moron to subject yourself to this lunacy again. They won Super Bowls before Le'Veon Bell, they will win them after him. See ya later

Why on Earth did the Steelers only play Nix for one snap on Offense?  What happened to the jumbo package where we put in extra TEs or O linemen and dominate the line of scrimmage?
Gerry Dulac
11:00
I think you might see a little more of it this week to get the running game going. But only if the Steelers aren't trailing 14-0 again
Shannon

Why happens when Eli Rogers comes back!
Gerry Dulac
11:01
Nothing. It's not like they're sitting there waiting wistfully for him to return.
Jack
11:01
I think it is apparent our O & D coordinators have reached their proverbial Peter Principle.  Agree?
Gerry Dulac
11:02
That is your opinion. I'm not here to agree or disagree, as everyone wants me to do, with their rambling thoughts and opinions, some more ridiculous than others.
Shannon
11:02
what happens when Rogers comes back? Switzer's been a nice addition
Gerry Dulac
11:02
See above answer
JJ

Why is it that on a kickoff, if the ball goes into the end zone, it is brought out to the 25. But, if a punt goes into the end zone, it is only brought out to the 20.
Gerry Dulac
11:03
They're trying to discourage kickoff returns for safety reasons by enticing them with decent field position.
Adam
11:03
Did Ben look like he anticipated more pressure than he got which caused him to force throws early and throw to checkdowns prematurely?
Gerry Dulac
11:03
Apparently.
Shawn
11:03
What has happened to Tuitt and Hayward? They both got paid and now they both offer nothing.
Gerry Dulac
11:04
Look at what Baltimore did to them. Double teamed each of them a lot and dared the other guys to beat single blocks. They didn't
Larry in KY
11:04
Our defense is a mess.  Care to pick a top performer on our D to date?
Gerry Dulac
11:04
I think Sean Davis has been pretty good. Same with Joe Haden.
Adam
11:05
I've noticed that Ben and AB seem to be just a little off.  The timing routes and pre-snap reads that have been their signature are lacking.  Are they not practicing these routes in practice?  What is going on?
Gerry Dulac
11:05
They practice them ALL the time. Not sure what the problem is, but the connection is lacking right now, no question
Sammy
11:05
The Steelers punter is a free agent after the year and continues to under-perform. Why not bring in a replacement?
Gerry Dulac
11:05
They might
ATL
11:05
Do the Steelers try to run the ball more vs Atlanta or should we plan for a shootout?
Gerry Dulac
11:06
I would hunker down for a shootout, even if they try to run the ball early
DaquidoBazzini
11:06
James Washington- Not being targeted enough or playing tentatively?
Gerry Dulac
11:06
He's a rookie. Give him some time before evaluating.
Adam
11:07
Why not take the radical step and fire Butler mid season?  It would send a message that scheme is as important as talent and execution.  Plus it can't get much worse.
Gerry Dulac
11:07
I'll let them know
Bell
11:07
Do you think Pitt will pay Bell for week 7 or wait and pay him from week 8 forward?
Gerry Dulac
11:07
I think they will do the honorable thing and pay him.
