Be honest, did you get that "oh boy, here we go again" feeling when TB was making a come back in the 2nd half?
Gerry Dulac
11:28
Forget me, so did some of the players, Joe Haden in particular.

Hi Gerry, appreciate your insights and observations. with our OC being a holdover from the Lebeau era, do you think teams have caught up with our system and scemes
Gerry Dulac
11:30
I don't think that's it. I think it's a matter of talent, smart players, a lack of execution. Sure, scheme hasn't something to do with it, especially if the players can't execute that scheme.

Do all agents call in sick for their clients or is it just Antonio Brown? And if the appropriate people in the Steelers organization knew Brown wasn't going to be there, then why was there discipline involved? Or was the discipline just for social media stupidity?
Gerry Dulac
11:31
They didn't know he wasn't going to show up.  He did not call and tell anyone, despite what was being said by his side. That's why he was fined.

What is the deal with Ben and AB and their continued inability to complete the long ball?
Gerry Dulac
11:32
Give it some time. Remember, AB missed the entire preseason. Maybe his injury is hampering him from getting open the way he would like. It's only three games.

Edmunds has shown some promise, any chance he stays the starter at the position and Burnett plays sub?
Gerry Dulac
11:32
Sure, but not right now

Three weeks in, what are your thoughts on the new kick-off rules?
Gerry Dulac
11:33
They don't bother me. There's only been one return for touchdown so far. If I'm the receiving team, especially the Steelers, if that kickoff even remotely goes in the end zone, I take the touchback and the ball at the 25. With the way penalties are called on returns, your chances of getting the ball even to the 25 on a return are silm and none....and you know where slim just went.

With the weekly additions to salary cap space for next season because of Bell, and the Shazier contract dropping off the books next season, will the Steelers be able to make a significant free-agent signing for the defense? Or are their contracts coming up that will increase significantly next season?
Gerry Dulac
11:34
A little of both, including Ben. But they will be in better shape, for sure

I don't know why our secondary seems so out of place most of the time. Is it the coaching or the quality of players? Ben has to score 30 or 40 points every game to give us a chance.
Gerry Dulac
11:34
I hate to tell you, that's most of the NFL. Look around, that's the way the game is played.

Given the problems that Burns and Sensabaugh have had, are you surprised that Sutton isn't getting more playing time?
Gerry Dulac
11:35
That might change this week. It should.

Boy, Bostic sure looked like the player they brought him in to be on Monday...why haven't we noticed him until now?
Gerry Dulac
11:36
Yes he did. You noticed him because they rushed him a lot more. To his credit, he made a bunch of big plays -- a sack, 2 tackles for loss, QB hurryt, 2 passes defensed, one of which led to Mike Hilton interception at the 2. It was his best game
Reginald
11:36
Any team that trades for LeVeon Bell thinking he'll sign after the season is crazy, yes? He will be an UFA, which has been his goal all along, no way he gets that close and doesn't explore best offers
Gerry Dulac
11:36
Correct

Gerry-Ravens seem lacking in the secondary, another big night for Ben?
Gerry Dulac
11:37
They're not lacking that much. They're second in the league in pass defense. Haven't allowed a 40+ completion and only 7 of 20+. Only one AFC team has allowed fewer.
11:38
OK kids, we outta time. That's it for today. Bye now
