Good morning....we're going to start our chat in about 20 min so get ready...
9:51
OK, let's get going....fire away!!

Keeping it real, do you think most QB2s in the league secretly hope their QB1s get injured so they can become the QB1?
Gerry Dulac
9:52
I can't say that for sure, Bill. I don't think they root for it, not at all. But if it happens they probably don't mind. At least, most of them.

I think Daniel Jones and Anthony Richardson are in the category of "the bigger they come the harder they fall", not elusive and more susceptible to injuries when on the move. Agree?
Gerry Dulac
9:53
Well, I disagree with the "not elusive" part. Daniel Jones can scoot.

Dichotomous Puzzle.? Not only do you inform us but educate as well. Called my wife that last night. She left me. Thank you on all accounts

What happen to Blitzburgh! It seems the Steelers do less and less blitzing every week.
Gerry Dulac
9:58
It's becoming an issue because they're not getting home with four enough. Perfect example was the 15-yard throw to Jeudy on third-and-6 that led to winning TD in Cleveland. Steelers rushed four and Winston had a perfect pocket to wait for his receiver to get open. They shoulda brought five or six on that play and get to Winston before his receiver had time to get open. Big mistake.

I do not understand the media fascination with Minkah Fitzpatrick, we all watch the games and his lack of splash plays is obviously relative to his compensation. I would think that the front office sees this as well and maybe consider a trade next year for him.
Gerry Dulac
9:58
I think everyone sees it.

Ravens lost to the Raiders and Browns. Steelers lost to the Browns and beat the Ravens and Raiders. The sky is not falling! This is the NFL. Do you think the same?
Gerry Dulac

Pay the man!

Why do people think Fields should only be in the game to run the ball? He is perfect for keeping a team guessing on short yardage situations. I seriously don’t understand why there isn’t more play action on these short yard situations. Side question: is Fields in shotgun on these short yardage plays because of his fumbling exchange issues from earlier in the season?
Gerry Dulac
10:01
Fields played at least one snap too many in Cleveland. I have no problem with him throwing the ball as part of expanding his "package." But not in that situation. You do that in the third quarter. Not with 5 min to go and he hasn't even attempted a pass or warmed up on the sideline. Bad move by the Steelers. Dumb

Gerry, The Steelers 4 man pass rush is typically 2 bigs and 2 OLBs. By NFL standards this is not a power rush unit and needs an occasional blitz package to keep things honest. With Highsmith down the pass rush is now 2 bigs, 1 OLB and  (size wise) 1 ILB and the blitz packages are rarer than a Sasquatch sighting. I am betting this won't end well. What say you?
Gerry Dulac
10:03
I am not going to argue at all. Teams are taking TJ Watt out with two and sometimes three players. If you're not getting to the QB with what you're doing, do something else.

There’s no 5th year option for Pickens. I say let him go fivenc
Gerry Dulac
10:03
He doesn't have a fifth-year option. That's only for No. 1 picks.

How has Benton been playing in your opinion?
Gerry Dulac
10:06
He's fine. But I'd like to see a little more pressure
Linebacker Lounge

Does it not indicate run and make it more difficult when 83, 15 are on the field and the defense knows they are not a receiving threat?
Gerry Dulac
10:07
Bingo. And you forgot 81. 32 snaps for a No. 3 TE????

Hi Gerry, how much uncomplimentary football is too much to overcome? This includes players' execution, coaches' decisions, turnovers, penalties, sacks, poor officiating, etc. In the Cleveland game there were at least ten that affected the game.
Gerry Dulac
10:10
Well, the Browns had more turnovers (3) and penalties (8) than the Steelers and converted just 1 of 10 third downs. That shoulda been enough to overcome
Linebacker Lounge

Is it time to start moving TJ around in the defense? MT likes to use the term position-less for some..
Gerry Dulac
10:11
It's time to start finding other ways to get to the QB, whatever that is.

Good morning, Gerry. Highsmith and Trice:  Will we see one or both on Sunday?
Gerry Dulac
10:11
No. Highsmith probably one more game.
Rich Erenberg
10:11
With their struggles near the goal line and short yardage situations I don’t feel great about their chances Sunday. What do you anticipate the defense doing to slow down a red hot Joe Burrow and company?
Gerry Dulac
10:12
Pray? Hope he eats too much on Thanksgiving?

Hey Gerry.  The question I wanted to ask was when will this nonsense end with Pickens.  We know that answer though.  It won't.  We knew he was a child when we drafted him and we've done nothing but enable and defend him.  Tomlin did that with a handful of other receivers until we had to ship them away.  So now I'll ask, why doesn't Tomlin discipline players?  Why can't he learn from his previous mistakes?
Gerry Dulac
10:14
I'm glad to see you answered your own question with the correct response. Gee, are you referring to Antonio Brown??
Linebacker Lounge
10:14
Who’s getting more snaps 20 or 31?
Gerry Dulac
10:14
We'll see

Is there anyone you’re close with in the facility who could remove the page from Art Smith’s playbook that contains the toss sweep to Harris?  Running that with #30 is one thing, but Najee can’t be averaging positive yardage on that for the season.
Gerry Dulac
10:15
Haha. I'll check
Linebacker Lounge

How has Loudermilk been playing and how would you assess the overall DL play?
Gerry Dulac
10:15
Better than he was last season. But I think y'all know my feelings about the defensive line.
