Good morning pregame kids! We will start our chat in approx 10 minutes so get ready....
9:55
OK here we go.....

Gerry, This question was around early in the season, but I haven't seen it asked or answered recently.  If cap limits next year make signing both Bud and Juju impossible, 1) which would YOU sign? 2) which do you predict the Steelers will sign? and 3) who is easier to replace?
Gerry Dulac
9:56
The reason it hasn't been asked is because it's irrelevant right now. And you only get one question,  not three.
Robin Cole

Do you think Steelers' players have reached their boiling point, and will really want to bury the Ravens today?
Gerry Dulac
9:57
That has nothing to do with anything. If they bury the Ravens, as you suggest, it won't be because they're mad, it's better they're focused, they're prepared and they're better.

Can everyone quit whining about  the ravens and enjoy some afternoon football.

Hello Gerry, hope everything’s fine! Do you think the team is extra motivated for this gamr because of what has happened the last 6 days??
Gerry Dulac
9:59
No. What has transpired has nothing to do with motivation. Now, it could make them antsy, wanting to play the game. But they are professionals, and they are an unbeaten team because they are professionals and don't let stuff like what we've seen the past six days affect them.

It appears that the Ravens got concessions from the NFL for practice time ahead of the game today for their Covid outbreak that other teams didn’t get. Did the Steelers management/ownership cave in yet again to the league office and let Baltimore dictate what would happen in this situation?
Gerry Dulac
10:00
That is conspiracy nonsense and I suggest you save it for the talk shows that engage in conspiracy nonsense. I can suggest several right off the bat

For all the talk of an 18th week, that isn’t really an option, is it? Would only a few teams play, giving other playoff teams a bye! And some bubble teams wouldn’t know if they were in or out.
Gerry Dulac
10:01
It might become an option once the bye weeks end, and that is after this weekend. The 18th week is there in the event cases begin to spike even more.
Tony
10:01
are the Steelers as hood as the Chiefs tight now ?
Gerry Dulac
10:02
Their record says they are better. That's what I go by. Me and Bill Parcells.
Carol

So how can the Ravens have their 2 running backs play today.  I thought part of the NFL protocol was that the team flew in and quarantined the day before the game in a hotel.  They are flying in today.
Gerry Dulac
10:03
There is no such quarantine protocol that you suggest. And those two RBs are not scheduled to play today anyway.
GM
10:03
Morning Gerry, with all that's happened with the Ravens breaking protocols how can/will the NFL adapt moving forward?  The team reportedly had people test positive on Saturday, but didn't add them to the covid list until Monday!  That in itself seemed like rigging protocol.  It's almost like the "what is a catch" debate a few years ago.  Too hard to keep up!
Gerry Dulac
10:04
Anyone trying to understand the machinations of the league's protocol is wasting their time. Like the virus itself, there are too many moving parts to have an accurate barometer.
GM
10:04
A way to early draft question, if Najee Harris and Etienne (RBs) are available when the steelers pick do we take either?  Or do you see a different draft need with the 1st round pick?
Gerry Dulac
10:05
I'd jump on one or the other. Immediately
Nick
10:05
Any word on the RB status of Ravens for today's game?
Gerry Dulac
10:05
According to Michele Tafoya and NFL Network, they are not playing.

Jerry,  All of the fines that are handed down by the NFL for this Covid-19 infractions, where does this money go?  Hopefully for more re-search into this disease?   Thank you.
Gerry Dulac
10:05
I don't know that answer, but your suggestion is superb.
Keith

On a kickoff the ball dies in the end zone.  The receiving team does not down the ball. Can the kicking team down the ball getting a recovered on side kick?
Gerry Dulac
10:06
Not anymore. Once a returner gives up on the idea of returning the ball, the play is blown dead, no matter where the ball ends up.
Scott
10:07
Gerry, has anyone asked the league why the Steelers have to turn around and play Washington on Monday while the Ravens get an extra day to rest/prep for the Cowboys on Tuesday? The Ravens caused this mess. They should be playing Monday.  To me, this is the most unfair aspect of the whole thing and nobody is talking about it.
Gerry Dulac
10:08
My dad taught me a long time ago, don't worry what the other guy is doing or what he has. Worry about what you have to do and what you have.

Is there still a chance that Stephon Tuitt will play vs Baltimore and if so when will we find out? Thanks!
Gerry Dulac
10:09
No, none.
Stephon
10:09
When are Conner and Tuitt eligible to come off the COVID list? Will they be available for Washington?
Gerry Dulac
10:10
They have 10 days with back-to-back negative tests from the time they tested positive to return.
Mark
10:10
How in the world are Dobbins and Ingram eligible today after both testing positive and playing a game vs the Titans while covid positive?
Gerry Dulac
10:11
They had to wait 10 days (22with back-to-back negative tests from the time they tested positive, and they did. They are eligible, but they are not playing apparently.
Jeff
10:11
As poorly as Conners has played, I don't think him being out today hurts at all. He hits the holes slow and has seemed to have lost a lot of speed. What do you attribute that to?
Gerry Dulac
10:12
Trust me, he hasn't lost his speed. But maybe indecisiveness causes that. Maybe lack of holes causes that.
Covid
10:12
Where have the other chats been so far this week? Out with covid? Wrong time of the year to be doing less work
Gerry Dulac
10:13
I believe they were active and played.
