It wouldn't shock me, especially if they see in the preseason that playing three safeties in sub packages isn't working.

my guess is 10 wins get the division
Gerry Dulac

Probably right

Rooney had commented they were closer than last year at signing Bell to a long-term contract. Was that not accurate, or has Bell perhaps increased his asking price since last season ended?
Gerry Dulac

I'm not sure he said they were closer than last year; I believe Bell indicated -- and the Steelers confirmed -- they started working on a new deal earlier than they did in 2017. At this point, I'd be surprised if they signed him. If he plays under the franchise tag this year, there's no way they will sign him to a new deal after that.

Samuels a player we can lineup as a TE? Seems like he could be a real matchup problem
Gerry Dulac
11:23
I'd hold off on that one right now, Art. This ain't Maryland.

Biggest position of need aside from ILB?
Gerry Dulac
11:24
They are good just about everywhere else. Unless you count production from the OLBs. They need that too

Did the Steelers think that the Bengals were interested in Rudolph?
Gerry Dulac
11:24
Probably

alot of teams preach competition at every position but it seems like the steelers never do. if the team knows a player isnt performing they remain a starter
Gerry Dulac
11:25
That's not always true. That's just you're perception.

I know it is and aways be about the money but the NFL needs to grow a pair and tell Triump to shut the h#$l up.  Amen.  By the way, we still need another ILB!
Gerry Dulac

You don't tell the President to shut up, no matter what you think of him

Now that we drafted Mason R and hopefully don't have to worry about QB for another decade, why not trade a future high draft pick for an ILB this summer?
Gerry Dulac
11:26
Why not use a high pick on an ILB??? That makes more sense.

What's more important to you: winning or the players having fun?
Gerry Dulac

What do you think?

Who makes a pro bowl first, TJ or JuJu? Do you expect both will make it at some point in their careers?
Gerry Dulac
11:26
JuJu, but I think both have a good chance soon
Ryno

Any insight on what the problem was with Eli last season? The season before, he seemed to always make the catch. Last season, it seemed like he was really hit-or-miss. Were there injury problems, or what?
Gerry Dulac
11:27
Nope. Just inconsistency. I think Ben lost a little faith in him.

13-3 a good prediction?
Gerry Dulac
11:27
Yep.

12 for 1st round bye
Gerry Dulac
11:28
Might have to get to 13 to guarantee

OLB seems to be thin in depth.. Do you feel there is a possibility of a Moats return? Thanks
Gerry Dulac
11:28
Nope

the Steelers offense is dynamic the defense at times can dominate
Gerry Dulac
11:29
Problem is, that domination is too inconsistent.
OK, kids, that's all the time we have today. Thanx for the questions.
