Hi Gerry and thank you.  What are your thoughts about some medical reports indicating Vander Esch failed some medical tests?
Gerry Dulac
10:53
I don't know about him specifically, but I was told at the combine that more players failed their medical tests than ever before. I'm not sure of the reason. But when you see some players slipping on draft day that will be an indication.

Hi Gerry and Thank you Sir. So who would you be most excited about for the Steelers to grab at 28? Within reason of course...thanks.
Gerry Dulac
10:54
I don't get excited about draft choices, but I would be thrilled about Saquon Barkley. But because he fits into your category of "within reason," I think the best fit for what they need is Rashaan Evans of Alabama

Gerry, with the Steelers schedule coming out tomorrow, who do you think they will play in Week 1?
Gerry Dulac
10:56
No clue. And they don't either. I just hope its not one of the Florida teams -- Jax or Tampa Bay -- on the road. Save the Florida games for November or early December. But I wouldn't be at all surprised to see a Sunday night game in Jax, a playoff rematch, to open the season. Not at all

With Tom Bradley as the new DB coach and former Nittany Lion, do you think the Steelers will take a look at Marcus Allen and/or Troy Apke?
Gerry Dulac
10:56
Bradley wasn't around for those players at PSU, but I wouldn't be at all surprised with either, especially Allen

With the depth at LB in this years draft.. Do the Steelers go S or CB round 1? Possibly the CB Hughes with his return ability, or to much baggage .. Thanks
Gerry Dulac
10:57
Some airlines charge extra for baggage. Not a good thing

Hi Gerry.  Todd Haley was let go because he failed to reach full potential with the talent despite a great record as OC, couldnt we say the same about the HC?
Gerry Dulac
10:57
Nobody ever said that was the reason. That's your opinion.

Gerry, Where would you rank Mike Wagner for all time Steelers safety’s ?... 3rd or 4th ? Thanks
Gerry Dulac
10:58
Mike is a golfing friend of mine, so naturally....1!!!!!

Still see one of the four top ILBs lasting to the Steelers' pick? Seems Dallas and Cincinnati are also in the market.
Gerry Dulac
10:59
That's what we'll find out on Thursday.
Rahn

Saw some teams are leery of the Boise State kid's neck issue. Steelers have any health concerns with him?
Gerry Dulac
10:59
Like I said earlier, not sure.

Peyton Manning,Rex Ryan and Bruce Arians have been mentioned as the new Monday Night Football analyst. Who would you like to see?
Gerry Dulac
11:00
I think Rex would be the best. Peyton be good too
Matt

Gerry, I am all in on taking a ILB at 28. However, what is your opinion on the Steelers taking best available CB & putting Sutton at S behind Burnett to learn. In this senerio both CB & S are taking care of & then you draft ILB in round 2.
Gerry Dulac
11:00
They are not interested in Sutton sitting and learning. They are interested in Sutton playing
Matt
11:01
I don’t think Steelers would take RB in round 1 but who in your opinion would they take in rounds 2 or 3? Chubb,Michel,Adams from ND?
Gerry Dulac
11:01
Not sure Chubb or Michel would be there in round 2 and don't think you have to take Adams that high. Can wait until at least the 4th round for him
Matt
11:01
Will Hunter get a legit shot at 4th spot on WR depth chart?
Gerry Dulac
11:01
He'll get a shot but that doesn't mean he will be No. 4

Wow. I never though I would get a chance to actually ask a question for one of your chats! Given the recent events of free agency, which player  do you feel makes the most impact moving forward?  Namely, those we signed in free agency.
Gerry Dulac
11:02
Welcome aboard....I don't think there's any question that would be Morgan Burnett. He will help the back end for sure.
Dan

If I were an Offensive coordinator playing against the Steelers I would use my personnel groupings to keep them in nickel or dime and run the football down their throats. They were not able to defend this strategy late in the season. What can Butler/Tomlin do to combat this?
Gerry Dulac
11:03
That's part of the problem. And that's why they miss Shazier so much. And why they want to get a quality inside LB in the draft.
Rob
11:03
With a new DB Coach and sucess against NE, rushing 4 and playing press coverage, do you see the Steelers switching defensive philosophies this year?
Gerry Dulac
11:03
Nope

Hi Gerry, what is your special request to the NFL regarding the schedule release tomorrow?
Gerry Dulac
11:04
No Thanksgiving or Monday night Christmas Eve game on the road.
Scott
11:04
If the Steelers don't take an ILB in round 1, what is your sense that they might do?
Gerry Dulac
11:04
That depends, but I still think you will see them address defense in some form. That's where some of their issues are.
Josh
11:05
would the Steelers be interested in drafting Shaquem Griffin? such an inspiring story
