Gerry - Hard to judge on TV...how loud was the Tiger Roar at Augusta?
Gerry Dulac
11:38
Very. As loud as I've heard. And the galleries as big as I've ever seen

Hi Gerry, I understand that Ed Bouchette has left the Post-Gazette. Ed was a treasure. Tell us a little more about him.
Gerry Dulac
11:40
I don't have the time to do that, but Ed is one of a kind, a Hall of Famer, a good writer, reporter and journalist. A good person too who was well-respected, as much as any writer I know.

The Steelers missed the playoffs. The Penguins got swept. Will the Steelers right the ship and find the postseason next year?
Gerry Dulac
11:40
9-6-1 last year. If that's a disastrous season, that ship is not that far off course.

Gerry: if you don’t think they will draft a FB, what are your thoughts on the quantity of rbs they have brought in for pre-draft visits?
Gerry Dulac
11:41
A fullback? Trust me, if they draft a fullback, Kevin Colbert will turn in his resignation.

Roars at Augusta as loud in person as they seemed on TV?
Gerry Dulac
11:41
Louder. They make the ground shake
Lloyd's 3-Count

Are there any coaches coaching today that remind you of Chuck Noll in terms of treatment of players?
Gerry Dulac
11:42
Belichick. Only one. He will teach you the how-to, it's up you to have the want-to. That was Noll.

Hey, Gerry!  Assuming good health, what do you think the chances are that James Washington becomes the player the Steelers need him to be this season?
Gerry Dulac
11:42
Very good!!
Mike
11:42
I was surprised to see you say you don't think the Steelers will draft a RB.  I think they need another good one because they don't have much depth and Conner hasn't proved he can stay healthy.  Why do you think they have had all of these RB's visit before the draft?  Just intel for later?
Gerry Dulac
11:44
They like the two they have, and they're both young. What makes people think they're going to draft another young one to be the third RB, especially before the sixth round?? Better chance they will sign a veteran RB after the draft

U don't hear much about from steelers fans about hiring Mike McCarthy
Gerry Dulac
11:44
Nope. And why would you?
Salami Phil
11:44
Do you think with AB and Bell gone that this drama is finally over and we can just focus on football? The national media seems to keep stoking the flames with every little comment a Steeler makes.
Gerry Dulac
11:44
They will be gone and forgotten by anyone who matters.

Hi Gerry.  Do you think the $35 mill per year deal the Hawks gave Wilson is going to make signing Ben more difficult now?
Gerry Dulac
11:45
Nope
Mark
11:45
From Ray’s chat, he alluded to a change regarding Ed. Can u elaborate?
Gerry Dulac
11:45
Ed left the PG to join The Athletic, in case you haven't heard

Gerry, do you think that Tomlin will be able to change the way he treats his players, ie., allows them to cause problems in the locker room and treating some players like equals?
Gerry Dulac
11:46
Do I think? No.
Captain Canada
11:46
How long can the Steelers entertain 3 QB's. Who will go, who will stay?
Gerry Dulac
11:46
They ALWAYS keep 3 QBs
PJ from NH
11:46
Do you think the Steelers had any real chance on retaining Munchak?
Gerry Dulac
11:46
No
Daniel
11:46
Gerry, what do you think of the Steelers stealing ILB Ben Burr-Kirven in a later round?  He is not as fast as the Devins, but was definitely more productive.
Gerry Dulac
11:47
They want speed, not just production.
11:49
That's all the time we have today kids. Thanx for the questions. See you next week for more draft talk
