Why has Andy Russell been ignored by the HOF?
Gerry Dulac
11:14
That's what Myron Cope always wanted to know.

Hi Gerry, what are your thoughts on the Gay/Hilton sharing snaps at slot corner?
Gerry Dulac
11:14
If it works, do it
Ryno

What kind of performance are you expecting from Watt in the next game?  I'm not sure who he will be matched up against this week.
Gerry Dulac
11:15
Riley Reiff, and he ain't Joe Thomas.

Hi Gerry..great job on reporting all the game and issues in Cleveland...were you suprised the Browns bottled up our running game the way they did on Sunday?
Gerry Dulac
11:16
A little because they were ranked 31st against the run last year. And their best run stuffer, NT Danny Shelton, was injured. With the Steelers O-line intact and healthy, I thought they would run much better than they did.

what's wrong with Martaveous Bryant?
Gerry Dulac
11:17
One year away from football apparently generates a lot of rust and timing issues. Imagine what Senquez Golson would be going through???
grumpy EDB
11:19
Hi Gerry  What is yours or the Steelers assesment on the way Hilton played and do you think he is a longterm solution? and what exactly is Golson doing now and are the Steelers done with him forever or is he waiting?
Gerry Dulac
11:19
Golson was let go in the final cut and, sadly, might not get another chance with any team. I didn't see any problems w Hilton or Gay against the Browns. In fact, I thought Gay played fairly well. But it's just one game and, good or bad, I don't make any assessments after just one game.

Will we get a better performance from bryant sunday? I sure hope so wat say u
Gerry Dulac
11:20
I say the same thing. But, based on what I've seen for several weeks now, going back to camp, I'm not sure it's going to magically change this week.
Matthew
11:20
What's going on, Gerry? Hope all is well. I think it's far too early to go into panic mode whilst we're still playing September football, but Sunday appeared to be not only poor execution of the game plan, but poor game planning overall. This seems to be a reoccurring thing for Haley (and ultimately Tomlin) when we "play down" to competition. Do you think this is just a "take the good with bad" aspect of Tomlin not being a micromanager?
Gerry Dulac
11:21
I will repeat what you said -- it's far too early to go into panic mode.

Ben looked to be off target a few times throwing underneath, especially on a few to Bell and at least one or two to Bryant. Was that on him, a receiver not running the route right, lack of playing time together?
Gerry Dulac
11:22
I think the latter. That's where I think Bell was out of sync -- on his route assignments. He was slow out of breaks and out of position. Bryant, so far, looks NOTHING like the receiver we knows he is or can be. It's been that way since camp.
dave
11:22
Do you think Tomlin has changed his mind about going for 2 after a TD?  It doesn't seem like they're doing it as often as they did a couple of years ago.
Gerry Dulac
11:22
Well, they didn't in Week 1.
Matt
11:22
Gerry, Wilcox replace Mitchell at some point this year at FS?
Gerry Dulac
11:23
Nope. Not unless 23 is injured
Max
11:23
I still  do not see this D as a top 10.Enough to win which counts but offense is going to have to score 20+.  Just not dominate.  What say you?
Gerry Dulac
11:25
Oh, I think they can easily be a top 10 defense. Top 5 might be a stretch, but they were 12th last year so top 10 to me is a given with all their young players developing.
Matt
11:25
Sutton take Sensabaughs spot upon his return from IR?
Gerry Dulac
11:26
I think it will be tough for Sutton to take anyone's spot when he returns because it will be at least 8 games into the season. He was injured and missed so much of training camp that he never had enough time to push his way into the lineup. I don't think that is going to change in November.
Matt
11:26
Do you think JuJu continues 2 start over Bryant?
Gerry Dulac
11:27
That was just one game and it depends on the formation they use to start the game. Their top 3 receivers are AB, Bryant and Eli.
Chris
11:27
Will bell be a steeler in 2018? tag or they get a deal done
Gerry Dulac
11:27
Yes
Matt
11:27
Do Steelers resign Rogers & Bryant after this year?
Gerry Dulac
11:27
Depends how Bryant responds and behaves. My guess is perhaps not because of the past
Matt
11:27
Any chance Doug Whaley and or Ray Horton return 2 Steelers at some point?
Gerry Dulac
11:28
I never say never
Scott
11:28
Can Ed try to position Andy with the Senior Committee? It seems as though a grave injustice has been committed.
Gerry Dulac
11:28
Agreed
dave
11:28
Why can't the DB's stop committing personal fouls?  This has been a problem for a few seasons.
Gerry Dulac
11:29
Well, safeties, by nature, are notorious hard-hitters. Many are a $25,000 fine waiting to happen. The Steelers have two of those types of player.
Ryno
11:29
Did you think Sunday was a look at what Bell may be like if he eventually leaves Pittsburgh and plays for a team that doesn't have the amazing offensive line the Steelers have?
Gerry Dulac
11:29
Perhaps
