I agree

If Steelers resign Bell does that mean the only improvements on Defense we can make will have to be through the draft?
Gerry Dulac
11:36
Not necessarily
Don
11:36
Yes Gerry, it was all about offense. That was my point. Don
Gerry Dulac
11:36
Thanx Don

Gerry, a Steeler website says the Dupree/Haden side was 3'rd in the NFL vs runs and short passes while the Watt/Burns side was 31"st. Does that change your thinking about Bud?
Gerry Dulac
11:36
Nope. You watch him play?
ryanh

Do you think Bud 5th year option gets picked up he been better then jarvis but he hasnt had a impact the way the team has expected
Gerry Dulac
11:37
Agreed on both fronts. Damning him w faint praise

Gerry, will Phil Mickelson win another major? asking just for the hell of it. I know you like golf
Gerry Dulac
11:37
I hope but don't think he can put 4 good rounds together

I hear a lot of media folks say Mike Mitchell will be gone, but Tomlin likes his vets and does not have a player to take his place. Have you heard any people inside the organization say they will move on from him? Could they find a replacement in the draft for that and ILB, seems a reach to plan on that?
Gerry Dulac
11:38
It might not be up to Tomlin

I love defense but this entire postseason was abysmal for defense.
Gerry Dulac
11:38
Yes

Communications issues on defense seemed to happen a lot this year. Just a few key "splash" plays made a big difference, even though the offense was able to overcome a lot of it. How do they fix that next season?
Gerry Dulac
11:38
Smarter players
JB
11:38
Howe many new starters will there be next year and what positions?
Gerry Dulac
11:39
Two -- safety and ILB.
JB
11:39
Based on your intel, what are the chances they resign Bell, tag him or move on?
Gerry Dulac
11:39
I'd say sign him, unless the would-be-rapper RB pulls another not-so-smart move and declines
David B
11:39
Do you think we go ILB or Safety first round?
Gerry Dulac
11:39
ILB is the target
JB
11:39
Do the Steelers keep Vance McDonald, release him or draft a new tight end?
Gerry Dulac
11:40
No, they really like him. And so do I. He changes their draft strategy
JB
11:40
Sorry save all my questions for you, but I feel you give the most reliable intel. Sorry Ed. :)  Any idea who they will look at to replace Lake?
Gerry Dulac
11:40
I dont, not right now
Zack
11:40
Thoughts on drafting an OLB with Bud not producing quality sacks.
Gerry Dulac
11:40
I think they rely on him one more year. That's it

Hi Gerry - it seems like there is a better crop of free agent safety's than ILBs. Sign a free agent S and draft a couple of ILBs as the plan?
Gerry Dulac
11:41
I think it will be the opposite
Brian

fwiw- I talked with a player. Was in the steeler camp also in two other camps. Had good things to say about Tomlin. Said he was EVERYWHERE always involved in all facets. said in other places you never saw the head coach!
Gerry Dulac
11:42
He is everywhere. Watches all facets
Josh

You disagreed with my prior comment regarding Bell, but there has to be a price at which you would agree with signing him.  What is it?  If he were willing to sign at $12 million a year (a lot front loaded so different than last year), what about then?
Gerry Dulac
11:42
Sure
OK kids, we're out of time. Thanx for all the questions
