OK kids, we'll be starting our chat right near the top of the hour, after I get back from the locker room. So get those questions ready.
11:04
Ok, I'm back and ready to go. Fire away!!
Anthony

Why is Chickillo still on the Steelers?
Gerry Dulac
11:04
We shall see what happens.
Shazur
11:04
Any word on if Tupac will be returning to Pittsburgh?
Gerry Dulac
11:04
None so far
Gerry Mora
11:05
after chikillo situation, do you think is a good time to sign  skipper?
Gerry Dulac
11:05
I wouldn't be at all surprised
Mary
11:05
Will the offense be opened up versus Miami or will it be more of the same?
Gerry Dulac
11:06
I think it will open up with each passing game with Rudolph. Let's not forget he's still a newbie and the Steelers want to put him in a position where he can win the game, not lose it.
Hank
11:06
When will Paxton Lynch be cut and a new player added?
Gerry Dulac
11:08
Well, depends if they want to keep three QBs on the roster, like they always did....until this year. If not, they will drop him back to the practice squad for the same reason they brought him in in the first place.
Larry

Any word on potential trades for the .steelers to dum pending free agents, Hargrave, DuPree and Davis?
Gerry Dulac
11:08
What you think this is, the NHL????
Mike
11:08
Will Moncrief be cut to save a comp pick like the Ravens did with Bethel who was quickly snapped up by the defending world champions?
Gerry Dulac
11:09
That's always a possibility. But they have until the 10th game to do it. That's how long a player has to be on the roster of the team that signed him to be considered a compensatory free agent.
Jared
11:09
Who takes up the slack for Tuitt? Buggs? Hargrave? Big Dan?
Gerry Dulac
11:09
Nobody. Too big a slack to take up
Gene
11:09
Your thoughts on Nick Vannett so far?
Gerry Dulac
11:10
I have no issues w him at all. Nice backup, good pickup. Will be good as No. 3 tight end, too, next year, once they draft one high.
Kenny
11:10
Any chance to dump Artie Burns to get something versus nothing?
Gerry Dulac
11:10
Possible. Wouldn't surprise me at all.
Lauren
11:10
Will the rotation with Sutton and Hilton continue?
Gerry Dulac
11:11
Yes. They want to get Cam Sutton on the field in passing situations

Good Morning Gerry! Regarding Chickillo, the Steelers have often "worked with" a player facing similar charges in the past. Is his off the field reputation worthy of the same treatment in the eyes of the FO or has the climate changed in the NFL?
Gerry Dulac
11:14
The Steelers have usually shown a commitment to a player to help him, depending on the circumstances. But any type of domestic or dating violence might be different. The NFL has taken a tough stand with that, and rightfully so, after the Ray Rice episode and how the league looked bad once the video of the elevator incident came out.
Courtney
11:15
Any chance coaching changes are made during the season if the offense continues to be terrible?
Gerry Dulac
11:16
Too early to tell of course, but, c'mon, an offense that loses a Pro Bowl QB, WR and RB is the coaches' fault??
Bob in Canada

Hi Gerry.  All of the Steelers losses have come to Super Bowl contending teams.  All have been close losses with the exception of the Pats.  Good teams find ways to win those games, but surely the Steelers aren't as bad as their record shows right?
Gerry Dulac
11:17
I tend to agree with you, but I'm also a proponent of the notion that your record says what you are -- and the Steelers, right now, are a 2-4 football team. Do I think they're a 2-4 team? No. But you think the Chargers think they are a 2-5 team? Or the Lions think they are a 2-3-1 team? I doubt it. But, if the shoe fits...
Coach
11:18
If the Steelers somehow lose to the lowly Dolphins after a bye week no less, how hot is Tomlin's seat?
Gerry Dulac
11:19
Among the fan base, scorching.
NC Steel
11:19
Hi Ed, Don't you wish that the Steelers had traded to get Emmanuel Sanders rather than SF? Wouldn't he immediately help this team's passing game?
Gerry Dulac
11:20
You there Ed? Ed?? I'm sorry, he doesn't answer.
OK, I'll answer for Ed ....yes.
Coach
11:20
When do the we find out if Tuzar Skipper clears waivers? Not a superstar but with the Chickillo situation we have no OLB depth.
Gerry Dulac
11:21
As a player with less than 5 years experience, he has to go through the number of teams in front of the Steelers. And it would only make sense to bring him back for depth after being in training camp.

If Conner plays, would you expect a full load?
Gerry Dulac
11:23
I think you will see them work Benny Snell in there some more after the way he played in LA
Charlie
11:23
Do you expect Conner to have lingering issues this season with his quad?
