Gerry, will you be at Sofi for the game this Sunday? It would be great to get a pic together!
Gerry Dulac
10:36
I'll be there.

Gerry, top of the morning to you. Yesterday was certainly disappointing. What is the status of internal options for relief to our beleaguered defensive backfield?  Practice squad?  Return from injury timelines?  Cory Tice?
Gerry Dulac
10:37
Return from injuries.

When 7 of 16 teams make the playoffs, getting one of the last seeds means you were above average (as opposed to elite).  Tomlin does a great job keeping the team above average -- some big wins, some unexpected losses each year with the same basic profile. The team has been to 1 AFCCG since 2010. So, over 15 years, the team has not really been competitive for a SB very often.  Do you think Tomlin can change?  What would change mean? It seems liek his weaknesses are hiring a really good staff, incorporating new ideas into his views of defense and offense, and making objective player evaluations.  Or can he not change and should we just settle in for 10-7 to 9-8 for the next 3 years?

You're right, 15 years is a long time..!!

With the trade deadline having come and gone, do you feel the Steelers are still all in on using their current draft capital in 26 draft to find the next franchise qb instead of having used any of it on improving this year’s team?
Gerry Dulac
10:38
I believe that is the case!

Gerry, with you being around this team day to day, do you get the sense that coach T is just too set in his ways, maybe stubborn to the point that he does not see the defensive flaws this team has as it relates to  schematic's.  Yes, last week was a good week but there seems to be consistent problems that liger.
Gerry Dulac
10:38
Let's just say he is very committed to what he believes in, which can be good and bad.

There was a play late in the 4th quarter of the Steeler/Colts game that I thought it showed what a HOF QB is all about.  I never thought I would write this next statement in my whole life,  A Steeler QB takes a 'GOOD SACK '. Rodgers could have thrown the ball away and the clock would have stopped.  No he took the sack and took valuable seconds off the clock.  Seconds the Colts desperately needed to get back in the game.  Smart play Mr. Rodgers.

Yes it was!

While I agree with not giving up any high draft picks, it is hard to make sense of the Steelers making no moves, isn’t it? Do you agree with standing pat at this time?
Gerry Dulac
10:39
Not if you believe you're a playoff team. But, as I think you have heard me say, I didn't think they would make a deal for various reasons.

Roman Wilson made a stupid play on Sunday.  No doubt.  Is his lack of playing time a reflection of the fact that he is a knucklehead, the fact that the Steelers offense does not seem to use WRs very much, or another example of poor player development?
Gerry Dulac
10:40
That was one knucklehead play. We'll see if it affects his playing time. He's been used more and more

Hey Gerry, with the regular season at its midpoint, I'm beginning to think that the Metcalf signing was a bust. With a couple of exceptions, he hasn't been the WR1 game changer that we expected.  His drops are high and his catches and  splash plays are low, not a good combination for someone receiving a 5 year contract with high expectations.  Are regrets setting in with regard to this signing?
Gerry Dulac
10:40
Not at all. But I hear you on the drops.

Happy Wednesday Gerry! Do you think Ramsey at safety with the recently traded safety can make a better perimeter?
Gerry Dulac
10:44
I'll leave y'all with this because I gotta run: What would have been a great trade to address their injury concerns in the secondary is bringing back Minkah Fitzpatrick from the Dolphins. Now you have your free safety, and a good one. Only one problem: You can't trade to reacquire the player you already traded in the same year.
