Do you think that coach Tomlin is partly to blame for the Bell hold out he does have a history of running his backs into the ground?
Gerry Dulac
11:10
Well, according to his agent, that seems to be part of the concern
Matt

Love this Switzer kid we traded for. With 84,19,13, & Switzer, are we finally good with our WR depth?
Gerry Dulac
11:11
He's a solid player. Good return guy

What do you think will be the end result for Bell,  do you think he still shows up before he has to so that he can be eligible to play.
Gerry Dulac
11:12
I think the end result will be not good for him. Why would the Steelers pay that much money per week to a player who can't or won't want to play????
Jack Straw

Hi Gerry.  Nice to get the turnovers, but how much of that do you think was forced by the defense and how much was mental and physical errors that is more FitzTragic than FitzMagic?
Gerry Dulac
11:13
It doesn't matter how they get them, just that they get them.
Matt
11:13
Will Steelers resign Jesse James and/or Joe Haden? I like both a lot!
Gerry Dulac
11:13
Absolutely.

How is our offense so inconsistent how do we go from scoring 30 points 1 half to 0 the next.
Gerry Dulac
11:14
That's a good question for which I have no immediate answer.
Matt
11:14
Is BJ Finney the starting LG this year or next?
Gerry Dulac
11:14
Next year is a good possibility
Matt
11:14
With the MLBs struggling this year, why wouldn’t the Steelers at least take a look at some pass coverage LBs like Michael Mauti out of PSU? He has to better than what we have?
Gerry Dulac
11:15
That's what Morgan Burnett and Terrell Edmunds are for -- to play those roles.

Do you think juju will be all time steeler great? And do u feel he will finish his career as a Steeler this guy is awesome!
Gerry Dulac
11:15
He has a loooong way to go, though he is off to as good start.

Gerry, For the life of me, I cannot figure out what Bell thinks he is going to gain by holding out an entire season. It makes no sense to me at all.... He was offered 70 million, but is willing to give up 15 this year - which means he has to be hoping for a deal greater than 85 million (which would be the break even point) with another team - at age 27+? Will a team really pay him that much? If I'm the Steelers. I would not trade him for a third round pick when they would get one anyway as a compensatory pick - and I would re-franchise him, and then rescind it on the last possible day.... This whole situation is really sickening.
Gerry Dulac
11:18
He and his agent appear to be delusional. It is his agent's responsibility to know and read the market and I don't think he has done a very good job of that. I don't think for a minute the Steelers will be vindictive how they handle his situation. It will be very business-like and matter-of-fact, but it won't end well for Bell. As they say, he made his bed.....

Any chance we can trade Bell for a ILB to strengthen defennce?
Gerry Dulac
11:18
nope
Matt
11:18
Are you seeing improvement from Davis & Dupree? If you had to pick one you have more faith in, which one would it be?
Gerry Dulac
11:18
Sean Davis

Gerry, what do you make of J. Harrison’s “advice” for LeVeon? Seems kind of cowardly, especially coming from someone who refuses to let his kids get participation trophies. Seems like showing up & then faking an injury yet still getting paid is the same as a participation trophy to me.
Gerry Dulac
11:20
I was surprised he said that publicly, though I have heard other people randomly wonder the same thing.
Nick - Simi
11:20
Why would any team trade for Bell at this point?  Doesn’t Bell have to sign his Franchise Tender before he could be traded anyway?
Gerry Dulac
11:20
Have you been paying attention? Right now, really, who would want him?
Matt
11:21
With the $850k/game savings from Bell's holdout, maybe the Steelers should sign Bowman or Reid?  I know the line "There's a reason they're still FAs", but this D badly needs reinforcements.  Any chance of either signing?
Gerry Dulac
11:21
Not unless there are significant injuries

Monday Night it really looked like Tomlin was calling the defenses and Butler was radioing them in? What do you think?
Gerry Dulac
11:22
He is. I have been telling you that since the end of last season. Everyone wants to blame Keith Butler, but he is not calling all the defenses.
Jacque Strap
11:22
Do you expect to see Jaylen Samuels integrated into the offense as the season progresses?
Gerry Dulac
11:22
Not really. Not unless there are injuries.

Hi Gerry, Shazier was the D's communicator - I heard that in meetings MT would show film and speak directly to Shazier to see what the call(s) would be.  Who's that person now?  98? Because the D seems lack a pure leader
Gerry Dulac
11:23
That's because Shazier had the radio helmet and called out the sets. Vince has it now. Doesn't have so much to do with being a leader as it does the radio commander
Ryno
11:23
Is James Harrison trying to get rid of any remaining Steelers fans that still had any respect for him? This is the same guy that said he returns participation trophies for his kids, isn't it?
Gerry Dulac
11:24
I know. It's unfortunate. I'm not so surprised he is saying that stuff as much as I am he's going on TV and saying it.
Juice
11:24
Several times Monday we had defenders in position covering the receivers, but when the ball was in the air, they (other then Haden) would not turn their head and find the ball? That's not the first time I've seen it. The coaches should be coaching that right?
Gerry Dulac
11:27
Hey, you can coach all you want. I'm not defending the coaches, but you can teach and stress and film study all you want in practice, but it's still up to the player what he does on the field. Believe me, they get more upset than you do.
