GET UP | "Russell Wilson's job is over" - Damien Woody on Fields lead the Steelers beat Broncos 13-6

visiting the Broncos no Russell Wilson against his former team and his former coach down in the Red Zone you've get a matchup back shoulder fade touchdown that's a big fell second quarter B Knicks and the how about TJ Watts dominant again yesterday two weeks in a row they Dro that backside end in the coverage hesitation by Nick sacked by TJ wat third points off the board against this Pittsburgh Steelers defense Cory T Jr with the interception Steelers win at 13-6 they haven't scored a lot of points but they're 2-0 Justin Fields he's playing better than his numbers if you watch the game I'll let Dan and and the other players speak to that but the average release much quicker than last year is actually the only quarterback this year to complete all his passes when getting the ball out in under two and 1 half seconds Playbook has been limited he's thrown just nine passes over 10 yards that's the fewest of any quarterback who's played two games to this point so the question is as you watch him and you watch them yeah is there any question that at least for the for the moment Justin Fields is the quarterback of the Pittsburgh Steelers I'm not doing I'm not changing anything like like Justin field like the when you have the type of formula that the Pittsburgh Steelers have right now they're playing great defense right you know for the Pittsburgh Steelers Justin field like we talk about managing game if you look somebody throw he's throwing seeds out there like Fields is throwing like don't please don't look at the stats and just say oh he is pedestrian that is not how he's playing he's managing game but some of these throws by Justin field this dude is getting better and better and better I'm not changing the quarterback at all when Russell Wilson gets healthy and he had like a 50 yard pass on the dead run to pickings that gets called back because of an offensive penalty so it doesn't become very coachable this year and then two don't let the stats fool you when it comes to 13 Point scored or whatever they could have had easily 20 plus if not for three flags on their offense this is the throw greeny you're talking about full speed on to sprinting to the right that's an absolute Pearl perfect for George pickings this is a touchdown pass to George Pickins that gets waved off because a little bit of a Ticky Tac offensive pass interference then he's going to take a shot versus the newly paid Patrick ceran and if not for pi that Ball's perfectly thrown to George pck downfield so you're looking at two touchdowns in that situation probably another hundred or so yards and 20 plus points I don't think it's an even even a question and I think the biggest thing is he he's shown coachable what was the biggest issue that we talked about this offseason in relation to Justin and his playing style holds it too long Tak too many sacks he's getting the ball out he's not hurting his football team he's playing to the strength of how they want to be identity and defense-wise I think they can play with anybody yeah he was sacked I think twice in this game but here's what I I know about Justin Fields all right he's a dang winner he's six and2 over his last eight games as a starter all right so he finds a way to get it done I said last week I go he came in the league as a better ath aete than quarterback uhoh he's closing that Gap a little bit as a quarterback and I absolutely I'm not going to bench this guy I got a perfect situation in Pittsburgh uh if I'm the Steelers I got Russell Wilson behind them if something happen right you know so I I don't know I I I tell you what this kid I've been impressed with him I've been impressed with the whole offense quite honestly and they're like oh how they stink they don't score any points yeah they win games they're running the ball they're winning games yeah they play the Chargers next week really interesting matchup of two 2-0 AFC teams that people didn't see coming will be the Chargers at Pittsburgh next week quick final thought I I the Steelers have an identity with Justin fields that they're going to run the football he's going to make timely throws they're going to push the ball downfield and play great defense that gives you the chance to win a lot of games in that League steers have the Chargers coming up then the Colts Bree Hall asks for this in the timeouts he gets the match up on the linebacker beats him off the line of scrimmage a beautiful throw better catch jets go up 1410 game is tied 7 minutes left here's the big play Garrett Wilson on a third and one touchdown of the J Jets have a little like thunder and lightning kind of backfield with Bree Hall and that young kid and Robert Salah happy as the Jets get the victory 2417 and so they are going to have another short week as they will play New England on Thursday night I I think and look I mean you know me my inclination is to start with the Jets in most cases but I think we have to start with Will Levis and Dan you made the point after what he did last week just gave a game away against the Bears you would have thought this was the last thing in the world you would have a problem with this week yeah I mean this team is 2 and 0 if they had Mason Rudolph playing quarterback and coming off of last week and what he did against the the Bears and I saw Bill bich kind of talk about him and Tom Brady talked about these situations and whatever you're trying to pull off is not worth that one or two yards that you might get and here's the thing when it's in time and in Rhythm Levis is so impressive when he gets into these adenine type of find ways to lose games and win them That's a classic example you're literally taking points off the board by doing something so selfish I mean and that's what it is it is selfish like this guy plays like he's Brett fa you ain't Brett fa you know you got a chance you're he's I mean he can throw it he's all that he's got a lot of good things I mean you watch him play he does when when it looks like it's supposed to look yeah it's pretty and and look can we play can we show last week's do we have last oh you guys are the best you're not great you're the best nice job and that's when I let I shouldn't have said Point sharing but by God when you're sitting back I got to go home to Tennessee Nashville brag about my Titans I'm not bragging I'm I'm sitting back going what the hell are you doing will Evis here two weeks in a row two weeks in a row you cost this football team I honestly thought as upset as Callahan was and and you mentioned lip reading um I thought he might bench him for that just because because two weeks in a row you can't have that you just I mean you just can't do it and you have to send a message that we just can't they absolutely look I no nothing can be proved of this kind in my opinion they absolutely win that game if they just kick a field goal there if they just kick a field goal in that spot the Titans were in total control of this game at that point I I guess we don't know what happens and I know Cali he's about as mild mannered as it comes to watch him kind of be that frustrated says a lot if they can get that out of his game and I think that's a massive if they got a really good player I agree they have to they have to get it out of this game or you're going to end up I mean losing games consistently over and over and over for the that point I'm not saying you bench him forever but just to send a just just so he gets it like we can't have that that said very quickly you used one good word what did the Jets find yesterday identity identity on offense I think two of the things that really stood out Five Guys blocking and the great thing about it is Aaron knows exactly what the defense is doing where's the weakness he gets the ball to the perimeter he gets the ball to Garrett Wilson quickly some of these third Downs he knows exactly where he's going to love the matchup and then the Run game I think them getting into some of their different personnels in their run were was a big part if you can keep him clean and some of this empty stuff and then you commit to some of these two back runs is to run the football they're always going to have advantages because of that that's their identity all right so we'll leave that there cuz I want to get a couple other games in here uh but so the Jets get the win and again have the quick turnaround again against New England this Thursday let's run the hurry up more games the Bucks go into Detroit off a very impressive win dwood what's the first thing you said to me about Baker Mayfield this morning he's a top 10 quarterback he is like like people want to you know people want to continue to doubt Baker Mayfield Baker Mayfield has found a home in Tampa and Baker Mayfield is playing some really good football down in Tampa he has weapons obviously you know the him in the the chemistry with the play call it seems like it's is going really good watch out for Tampa man like Tampa is legit they are a legit team yeah Tampa and New Orleans both off to Quick starts in that division meanwhile Rex bad game or bad sign for the Lions no I mean bad game and and let's face it it was such a bad game they had 468 yards and gave up 216 yards they outplayed the hell out of them statistically but you're one in seven in the Red Zone that's what's pathetic about that game I mean come on Detroit's a way better football team than that one of seven in the red zone two interceptions like that's how you lose a game that you should have dominated next one I want to get to Dan orlovski Vikings with a very impressive win over the 49ers of Minnesota talk to me about Sam Dar man where's Stephen A right now where is Stephen A San darnold is the best story in the league going right now the Reclamation of his career the bomb touchdown to Justin Jefferson he's got four 500 yards in two games four touchdowns don't forget he did this without Jordan Addison and TJ hackinson he's got this Vikings team at 2-0 missing two of their best players this is the team in the NFC that no one wants to see that they did not expect to say that come August right Kevin oconnell is exactly what he needed he's always had unbelievable Talent he's never had a chance between the terrible situation he had with the Jets and then he goes to an even worse one in Carolina he spends a year with Kyle Shanahan just learning and it looks like it's paying offal season Rex uh night game last night Caleb Williams in Houston what did we see as the TCH would get a win in what was not a beautiful game for anybody yeah that this guy's a Young quarterback I said he going to struggle all those bear guys no know he's the best ever you know what he's going to be a really good player but right now this is I always said welcome to the Ben's League these guys run they hit and if you throw it down the field you better be accurate cuz right now you're not and that's what I'm seeing out of this kid I'm not going to say Panic there's no need to the kid is super talented he's going to get it it's just going to two interceptions and and I felt like a sack on every other play right I mean that and that's is that just come with the young yeah they were under he was under dress fore [Music] for on [Music] for e [Music] [Music] [Music] for for take
