OK kids, Ray and I swapping days this week. He's back tomorrow. We will start our chat in about 15 min so get ready...

Ok kids, let's get started....

All the Steelers free agent signings were unwanted by their teams from last year. Doesn't that mean they are all a little over rated?
Gerry Dulac
9:47
No, it usually means teams can't everyone and some guys want to test their value -- and see how much they can make -- on the open market.

If Tomlin again has a year with 0 playoff wins will you finally call for him to step down or be “retired” in the way Arians was.
Gerry Dulac
9:48
Hey MJ, it's no my job to call for a coach to step down. But it is my job to point up the facts of why that might happen or could happen. I leave the judgements to people who are paid to make judgements

Do you believe there is a new offensive game plan this year? What changes do you think were made; how will the offense look different?
Gerry Dulac
9:50
I'm sure it will be a little different because changes and tweaks and improvements (hopefully) are made all the time. Having Pickett and Pickens for a second year now will help of course, too. But, until I see it in training camp and in games, hard to say how it will look

where does DeMarvin Leal fit into the defense, how does the dline breakdown this season starters and backups. Who do you think stays and who goes?
Gerry Dulac
9:50
I think DeMarvin Leal fits nicely in their plans -- very nicely. They like his athleticism and versatility a lot.

Good morning Gerry. What a tremendous award to be given to Rocky Bleier.I was lucky enough to receive his autograph many years ago. Could not have been more polite and thankful. s as a son who lost a father who served, it meant that much more
Gerry Dulac
9:51
Rock is a first-rate human being, as you witnessed.

Hi G! Thanks for warning me on the use of profanities and especially for your moderate wording. Point is taken and will gladly be followed! I didn't mean to cause any harm or trouble. Now: with the roster universally thought to be upgraded pretty much throughout, will there be an even ickier kerfuffle if the offense doesn't perform really well right out of the gate? Something along the lines even of ownership aksing why a certain OC is still doing what he is doing and why he is still in a position to do it? And vice versa: if they are really good, has Matt Canada proven us all wrong? I'm thouroughly uncertain of this whole situation...
Gerry Dulac
9:53
Marc, no worries .... that, to me, is the biggest issue heading into the season: How will Matt Canada handle the offense, can it be more explosive and, most important, can it score more points. Until we see it, we all are a little uncertain. Maybe even uneasy.

Gerry, make me feel better about KP and name one attribute he has above the average NFL QB.
Gerry Dulac
9:54
He's smart, he's cool, he throws well on the run and he showed enough wherewithall last season to throw just one interception in the final nine games. Pretty heady for a rookie QB
Bill

Will Mike Tomlin allow Presley Harvin to again be the Steelers punter this year despite his not being very good at punting?
Gerry Dulac
9:55
I'm guessing that's the case. His "not very good at punting" is his inconsistency. He's consistently good at that.
Bob Prince was the best
9:55
Gerry, who in your opinion, s the best offensive lineman currently on the roster based on performance at the NFL level  ?
Gerry Dulac
9:56
James Daniels pretty good. Isaac Seumalo right there, too.
Monroe Fuchs
9:56
Ron Cook recently wrote a column proclaiming Mike Tomlin is a better HC than Cowher was. Do you agree with his assessment?
Gerry Dulac
9:56
Nope

Hello Mr Dulac — I saw you several months ago on The Browns Red Zone with Jim Donavan and Tony Grossing.  Is Jim as nice a man in person as he seems to be on TV ?
Gerry Dulac
9:56
Yes. Tony too, despite what Baker Mayfield thinks.
Bob Prince was the best
9:57
Gerry  when do you feel the Steelers will begin lobbying for a new stadium  ?
Gerry Dulac
9:57
Good question. Not sure what they'll do -- get a new one and completely refurbish this one. Around 2030 I'll say
Hogan

Gerry, T or F, the Biarritz hole design is overrated and belongs in putt putt courses only?
Gerry Dulac

Bob Prince was the best

Gerry, what is the Steelers strongest position group coming into the 2023 season  ?
Gerry Dulac
9:58
O-line. QB. OLB. WR

Hello Gerry — Do you think the team has enough good receivers ? It seems like each of the current group has questions?
Gerry Dulac
9:59
Every team has questions about certain players. I don't have many concerns about the group. The questions I get - can Austin return healthy, can Robinson remain healthy??
Hogan
9:59
Gerry, ever hit the links with Mario? Was he really scratch back in the day? Or did he use creative score keeping like Zeise?
Gerry Dulac
9:59
Never have. But been around him on the golf course

Gerry, do LB’s disastrous contract negotiations make sense now that we know about his pre-game rituals?
Gerry Dulac
10:00
Like...??
Mike—EE
10:00
What do you think about the new kick off rule? Maybe try the college version instead with players lined up closer to avoid collisions??
Gerry Dulac
10:01
I don't have a problem with it. I thought this would happen years ago when they made the rule to bring touchbacks out to the 25 instead of the 20. That encouraged shorter kickoffs, which, if turns, prompted more injuries.
Mike—EE

Lots of opinions as to KP future upside. We’ll find out this season if the arrow is pointing upwards. You were somewhat negative at his
Hi Gerry, are you still lukewarm on KP upside like you wrote about during his draft?
