Gerry, do you think the Steelers made the right call on banking that Pittman and Wilson are going to come back and be what the team needs or the lack of a BIG move will haunt them?
Gerry Dulac
10:17
Well, only they know best, certainly better than everyone else.

Do you know if the team and players are actively rallying around Aaron Rodgers in his last season as motivation for winning similar to what happened during Jerome Bettis' final season?
Gerry Dulac
10:17
Uh, little different circumstance. But, who knows...maybe

Hi Gerry,  Besides just looking at the stats what is you opinion of the two rookie defensive linemen, Rubio and Jobity? I always root for the young lower or undrafted DL prospects but they haven't really panned out in a long time.
Gerry Dulac
10:18
I think they have been a pleasant surprise

McCarthy has more coaches on offense than Tomlin did. Is the McCarthy QB school still in session for Allar and Howard?
Gerry Dulac
10:19
It's on winter break
Ed

Your thoughts on Max so far?
Gerry Dulac
10:19
My thoughts are, he's gonna be really good! We see that already

Good Morning Gerry. Love the chats. Were you really surprised that they did nothing at the deadline?
Gerry Dulac
10:20
Not at all. I know their history and what they were thinking. I said as much days earlier.
Tom M.
10:20
Will how well they perform against the Bengals really say if this defense can be historic? The Bengals offense is performing at a very high level and if the defense can stop them, fhey can stop anyone.
Gerry Dulac
10:20
That's what we're going to find out. Should be interesting

On the flip side of the dealdine, did the Steelers come close to trading Cole Holcomb? Or any player for that matter?
Gerry Dulac
10:21
I was told they weren't going to trade any of their current players and they didn't. That doesn't mean they didn't get calls from other teams inquiring about some of their defensive players
Mr.Norris
10:21
So do you think a wentz type trade up in the first multiple times possible for a qb they love?
Gerry Dulac
10:22
I'll worry about that in April. And even then I won't worry about it

No Renegade at Browns game, which had to be disappointing for those who do not attend Steelers games regularly.  Was it because the Steelers were way ahead in the 4th quarter - are there “Renegade Rules?”
Gerry Dulac
10:25
I'm still shocked by that. I get it if they were being embarrassed, like what happened in the playoff game against the Texans. But they could have played it in the third quarter if they wanted against the Browns. My radio co-host Tim Benz brought up this point last week: There are a lot of people who come to the game merely to hear Renegade, or certainly wanting to hear Renegade. It's the defining experience of coming to Acrisure Stadium, like going to Wrigley and wanting to sing "Take Me Out to the Ball Game." I mentioned that to one of the players and they said even opposing players want to experience Renegade when they come here. I don't understand the Steelers dropping the ball on that one. Oh mama

You know Gerry, I really think that Rogers actually likes playing here, digs his teammates, and is enjoying his life here.  I am guessing, but it would appear that he is getting a lot of privacy in public, and he may actually like living here.  I see him on Cam's podcast, and he just looks like a person that has had a load lifted off of him a bit - which could contribute to his play.  And, I am starting to think that he - and the team for that matter- may actually believe they have a chance.  Any feedback on my Rogers 'life balance' assessment?
Gerry Dulac
10:27
I would say you are very observant. I don't know about living here -- he's a California guy -- but I will also say he's very laid back all the time, no matter where he plays. But, yes, he likes it here, he likes his teammates, and they like him
Biggs from Canevin
10:27
With both Porter and Pickens missing last week game with "nagging injuries" do think maybe Jerry is having buyers remorse?
Gerry Dulac
10:27
Caveat emptor

Where does Allar stand with respect to being our future QB?
Gerry Dulac
10:28
About 6-foot-5

Hi Gerry, a lot of talk on Steelers trying to move up in the draft to get a QB.  You have two unproven guys already and then you add a third.  Do they already know those two are not the guy?  Can they know that already??
Gerry Dulac
10:28
They do not know that, which is why they kept both on the roster
Dave Moody
10:29
Now that the Steelers have stood pat on their roster, do you see any misses they could have/should have went after, or pursued? Do you see them kicking the tires on Aiyuk?
Gerry Dulac
10:30
All I know is that anytime a player is released or says he wants traded, the public immediately says the Steelers should sign him or, at least, kick the tires on him.

Hey Gerry! I am a believer in this team…especially if Wilson and Pittman can come back rather soon and the team can stay healthy. I don’t see a dominate team in the AFC and we can play with any of them with our brand of football. What say you?
Gerry Dulac
10:34
Well, I think the Bills are very good and the Jaguars got even better. And the Chiefs look like the old Chiefs, and also got better with adding Downs to the offense. Getting Pittman and Wilson back will be a big plus to the offense. But they have to stay healthy and avoid the "key" injury.

Hi Gerry, and thanks for the chats! The Steelers plan was to have Pittman opposite Metcalf in the passing game, but they haven't really had many opportunities to see if that works. Not surprised at all they made no move at the deadline. Will Pittman be available for the Bengals game? Are you hopeful that it will work?
Gerry Dulac
10:36
I am not expecting Pittman to be available this week for Bengals, though he is eligible to come off IR this week. Note that I said "eligible." The Steelers are being very cautious with his injury. But I would like to see what a healthy Pittman can mean to the offense.

Congrats on your New Orleans - Cleveland pick! You said '24-23' and it was 23-22! Can't get closer than that! Can't wait to see what your crystal ball says about the Steeler-Bengals game!
Gerry Dulac
10:36
Thanx. I got a good one for you

The Steelers can bring pressure on Burrows and limit the deep shots. The key will be tackling on those underneath routes. Agree?
Gerry Dulac
10:38
The key will be getting pressure on him and forcing him to throw before those guys have a chance to get underneath. That's easier said than done
10:40
I can't click on Ryan's message for some stupid reason, but he asks, "Will Skowronek be back this week?" And the answer is yes.
Tom in Dallas

The second half schedule looks a lot easier now than it did in April.  With us relatively healthy, and facing teams that are w/o a starting QB or underperforming compared to preseason predictions, what would you predict the second have record to be?
