What happened with Sammie Coates?  It must be more than just injuries.
Gerry Dulac
11:29
It was. It's the non-measurables that did him in.

Gerry, your chat is on -- on like Donkey Kong. Love your light hearted whimsy answers. Let's begin!
Gerry Dulac
11:29
We have my man...!!

Why do so many NFL skill players have so many hamstring issues? We don't see it in the NBA, NHL, MLB or in college as much. Is it over-training, or improper training, or what?
Gerry Dulac
11:30
I don't know that it's improper training, but I would think it would have to do with how tightly constructed their bodies are to play this game. And how explosive you have to be in this sport.

Hi Gerry
Demarcus Ayers declined the Steelers practice squad but then accepted the Patriots?
Did they offer him more $$$ or did he realize nobody was going to sign him to 53?
Gerry Dulac
11:31
Maybe he realized he had a better opportunity w the Patriots, who don't have Brown and Bryant on the roster.
JON

Is Cam Sutton (injured reserve), going to be Senquez Golson Part Deux. This injury has to be a major concern given all the expectations they had for this kid. Your thoughts?
Gerry Dulac
11:32
It's a hamstring. I wouldn't call that a major concern. Golson had shoulder surgery and Lis Franc foot injury. Those are concerns.
JON
11:32
OK, please explain it to me. How did Big Dan McCullers make the final 53? What did they see in him, because I certainly thought he deserved to be cut. Did I miss something?
Gerry Dulac
11:32
I'll tell Tomlin you can't believe it.
ryan
11:32
do you think haden is much of a upgrade over ross considering haden hasnt played well in a few years and he has been hurt alot
Gerry Dulac
11:33
You're kidding, right??
Stan
11:33
Can you confirm the Steelers will lose the AFC Championship game again to the Patriots?
Gerry Dulac
11:33
It has not been confirmed
Ryno
11:33
Will we finally see Big Dan improve, and if not this season, will he get a second contract?
Gerry Dulac
11:33
No, he is on his last leg, even though that's a big thick leg
JON
11:34
What was your biggest surprise cut getting down to the 53?
Gerry Dulac
11:34
I was a little surprised at Knile Davis, but not terribly. I was told it would probably happen but still...
Anthony
11:34
With the roster set, what position can the Steelers least afford a major injury (aside from quarterback of course)?
Gerry Dulac
11:35
Shazier.
dave
11:35
Why have they made so many trades this year compared to previous years?
Gerry Dulac
11:36
I know, that's different MO for them. I'm not sure, other than they feel that's easiest way to get players they think can help and/or add depth. Don't have to wait for waiver wire.

Is it me or did Dobbs look pretty good against Carolina...good arm..moves well in the pocket
Gerry Dulac
11:36
He looked better as preseason progressed.
Jake V
11:36
Has anyone else besides Lev Bell gotten away with holding out on the Steelers?
Gerry Dulac
11:37
It's a business. There's no such thing as "getting away" with it. It's like Tomlin said, he is the one who could suffer the consequences.
JImmy
11:37
Predictions on Joe Hadden? I am not optomistic
Gerry Dulac
11:37
Why not? He's better than what they had, that's for sure.
Scott in Amsterdam
11:37
If you think the Steelers will cut Steven Johnson again once Bell is activated, then why did they even bother re-signing him this week?
Gerry Dulac
11:37
They re-sign him and cut him all the time
TK
11:38
Why no TV for Tomlin's weekly press conferences this year?
Gerry Dulac
11:38
You'd have to ask Root and the Steelers. And KD
Bishop
11:38
Do you the the Steelers need home field advantage to beat the Patriots?
Gerry Dulac
11:38
Either that or have them already eliminated. I don't ever like their chances there.
Anthony
11:38
Do you think the Steelers will need to be undefeated going into the bye to have any chance at home-field in the playoffs?
Gerry Dulac
11:38
No

I am excited with the recent moves the Steelers  have made.Since this isn't the norm for this front office, do you think Ben might have told them this is his last year and they are taking risks then usually don't  to get one more?
Gerry Dulac
11:39
Nope.
