Gerry, How do you rate J. Haden's play so far?
Gerry Dulac
11:20
Fine. No problems. Have you noticed him out there? Right, you haven't, and that's always good for a CB

Should James Connor get a few more carries and take a little of the load off L. Bell?
Gerry Dulac
11:21
He probably should but I doubt he will. DeAngelo Williams never got more snaps once Bell returned, and Williams would routinely rush for over 100 yards when he had to start for Bell.

After the biggest Steelers victory in Baltimore since 1976 when the home team was the Colts, is this team turning a corner or just lucked into playing a rival having a rare off year?
Gerry Dulac
11:23
I wouldn't go that far. I've seen bigger victories against the Ravens in Baltimore than that, several, as a matter of fact. The Troy Polamlu-Joe Flacco strip sack, the Santonio Holmes goalline TD catch come to mind.

Assuming James Harrison is healthy, will he get a helmet for this Sunday's game?
Gerry Dulac
11:23
I assume he will.

I point to penalties for red-zone inefficiencies first and execution second and play calling third for causes.  Agree?
Gerry Dulac
11:24
You don't need my approval. The stats indicate that. When you have the most penalty yards and second most number of penalties in the league, they are going to detonate a lot of things.

Sorry - meant in score.  Steelers "biggest" victory meant 17pt margin, biggest Steelers margin since 1976 playoffs.
Gerry Dulac
11:25
Ahhh, I see. Got it. But, yes, I think they're turning corner. Let's give 'em time

Joe Haden has brought respect that the secondary was lacking?  Even if not the best CB on the team.
Gerry Dulac
11:26
Who says he's not the best CB on the team??

3 of the next 4 with the loss to the Lions next best scenario to winning all 4?
Gerry Dulac
11:27
Well, if you have to lose one, under your scenario, it's best not to lose to a division team (Cincy) or an AFC team (KC)

Why oh why does Ben continue to throw 40 yard bombs on 3rd and 2? Drives me insane.
Gerry Dulac
11:28
You're not alone. Might I suggest a nice warm cup of tea and cookie. Or a stiff drink.

Gerry you better watch out Tuitt is great on the radio, very thoughtful and intelligent.  Do you worry about losing you job to him? ;-)
Gerry Dulac
11:28
Haha. I have told him I'll gladly turn over the mike to him. He's a good dude who is conscientious enough to do a good job.

Is there any update on the Mitchell and Gilbert injuries and when they can be expected back in the starting lineup?  Any concerns of re-aggravation with players that have had recent injuries (Tuitt, Dupree, Watt, Davis)?
Gerry Dulac
11:29
No, the latter guys all seem to be fine. Mitchell's hamstring injury could be concerning because that's what kept him out the entire preseason. Never a good sign.

gerry, pls can u tell me why we run on every single first down? play action would fool everyone
Gerry Dulac
11:32
Well, I just checked the Ravens stats and the Steelers passed on the first play of three of the first four possessions. And on their first 13 first-down plays, they threw eight times. So they're not running as much as you think.

Gerry, Why does Tomlin refuse to discipline his star players?  This was not the first time Brown engaged in conduct not becoming of a Steeler.
Disrespecting Haley the way Brown did last Sunday is NOT acceptable!    My guess is he's more concerned about how many fantasy points he's going to put up, and what ridiculous suit he's going to wear afterwards, versus just winning the game!
Gerry Dulac
11:34
A player disrespecting any coach with a public display like that is unacceptable. And, like I said earlier, Tomlin needs to discipline any player who does that, whether it's Brown or the long-snapper. Shame on him if he doesn't.
Well, kids, we're out of time. Thanx for all the questions.
