Oh yeah, I'll get right on it.

Do you feel Steelers and Tomlin released Harrison with intent to let him play somewhere? I cannot fathom why they would cut him, this late in season, as a slap in the face and with no regards as to who else they could have let go instead of him?
Gerry Dulac
11:57
No I don't. Did you ever think they might have granted his request?

Slightly surprised to see Big Al make the pro bowl. We haven't seen Ben get sacked much, which speaks volumes to the pedigree of the O line. I knew he was good but, not one of the best in the league. In my opinion our RT is a Pro Bowler too. How does Al's stats stack up against the league 's other top tackles?
Gerry Dulac
11:58
I was surprised as well, but good for Al.

Gerry - remember when Steeler Nation was so shocked to see us lose to the Jags early in the season - now look at where they sit - do you think our run D has improved since that game?
Gerry Dulac

Well, the run defense has given up 2 100-yard rushers in the past three games, but that's better than two 200-yard rushing games in three games, which is what the Steelers allowed to the Bears and Jags.

Patriots dropped a backup LB named Trevor Reilly to make room for Harrison.  He's a veteran and presumably a solid special teams player.  Any chance the Steelers pick him up for intel and help on special teams, and drop McCullers?
Gerry Dulac

I'll let them know

Is there any word on exactly what injury AB sustained? Initial reports were a partially torn calf muscle then there were reports of a bad contusion. Has the team released any news on the injury and return time? Thanks!
Gerry Dulac

Mike Tomlin called it a lower leg contusion

Glad to hear and write about the many sides to the James H. story.
that you have provided. Amazing how people want to now trash him. He was far from perfect. So are you and I and everyone else.

Based on your experience covering this team in the regular season and the post season, how easy is it for a coordinator like Butler to dramatically change the defensive scheme to avoid any secrets that Harrison may have spilled to the Patriots?
Gerry Dulac

Relax. He wont

You say he wasn't a problem? From what I hear and read, that sounds like a problem to me, what makes you say he wasn't? Know something we don't?

Gerry - how can you say he "wasn't a problem" in light of everything his teammates have said in the past 24 hours?

Funny -- multiple same people have already had their questions asked.  Why don't you publish mine?   Is it too difficult to answer?  The Post Gazette reporters owe fans an explanation.  They completely missed the real story and wrote these stories that were critical of the Steelers.

Do you think Haden's return will be a key factor now as we head to the playoffs?
Gerry Dulac
12:02
Absolutely
Big Ben

Will Todd move on after this year?

Nope

Re your point of "making the same mistake they did with Jarvis Jones", they didn't make a mistake - Harrison wasn't even on the team, the only mistake they made regarding Jarvis Jones was drafting him
