Shannon head trats take up the whole chair oh my all right Shannon we're going to work on getting you a new chair you know you could always just go you always go to HomeGoods and pick one up all right it was a busy day for Steelers kicker he doesn't know what HomeGoods is Chris Boswell as the Steelers beat the Falcons 18 to1 with six field goals and no touchdowns Justin Fields got the start as Russell Wilson was ruled out with a cap injury Fields went 177 for 23 for 156 yards here's Fields after his first NFL career win I just came in wanting a win and uh I'm glad that we're leaving here with the win so um in terms of who's starting who's not all I want to do is win at the end of the day so um yeah I'm I'm really not even you know going to get into all that does Justin's performance today affect Russell's status as qb1 starter and you can come ask me that question on Tuesday all right essay should the Steelers stick with fields in week two no I think they should go with Wilson um Fields is the future we all know this but I want to see what Russell Wilson does in the Steelers uniform I know you got both of them in the off season or what have you I don't mind if you go back to Fields but I want to see Russell Wilson in the Steelers uniform and let's see what he does especially after this kind of showing from Justin field six field goals I'm not I'm still fan I was happy about it the defense TJ watt that brother oh my God he is so special proba the best player in the he is so special I was really glad to see him do his thing in the end the game the way that he did sacking Kurt Cousins Kurt Cousins was clearly off Rusty nothing to write home about but give the man a break after getting injured and being out and stuff like that and coming back from that um you know I expected him to be rusty and the Steelers defense took advantage of it but Justin Fields what are you he but one SE Ste let me correct one thing though because I said first career win first career win with the Steelers I want to make that clear he's won games before no problem but 17 to 23 156 yards no touchdowns two sacks no turn turnovers nothing to really write home about fumbled the first snap threw his first pass inaccurately uh didn't work through his progression seemed a bit jittery I didn't like what I saw I wasn't impressed I did like him running the football it was great to see a steel a quarterback that could extend plays with his legs that was nice to see 14 carries 57 yards I was happy about that but I want to see Russell Wilson I want to see a quarterback that's experienced that could throw with some accuracy let me see friu and pickings and these boys utilize let's see what Russell Wilson does in a Steeler uniform before we make the decision that Justin Fields is the way to go we know he's the future but I'm just talking about for this season let's see Russell Wilson I just want at least one start let me see what he's got before we make that decision oh so you you want them to go to Russ and then if they lose or he doesn't play well go back to Justin I'm saying to you that Justin Fields is clearly the future I don't know Russ Wilson here you got Russell Wilson here let's see what he's got in a steel his uniform let's see that's all I'm saying so here's my thing with that I don't know if Justin's the future I I don't I don't think that is a in loocking anyway and I have a decent idea what Russ is going to be in Pittsburgh right I mean I think we have 10 years of evidence and empirical data specifically over the last two to tell me what Russell going to be in Pittsburgh I have been on the start Justin Fields train I think that was only stamped again this weekend so a couple things one never made a bad decision with the football managed the game and that's a big thing because that's something we've all wanted him to take a step in is like manag the football game realized that the defense was playing a dominant fashion and made really good decisions with the football consistently Stephen A I would say that he threw the ball really accurately specifically down the field I don't know if he missed a throw down the field mainly to George pck I think three or four or four or four some big plays down the field a pickings I think the only gripe that I have is Justin's not capable right now and maybe he'll never be of like the quick passing game the easy efficient passing game and so for them in Pittsburgh they're going to have to figure out how they get like this is a great throw that ball leaves his hand from the 32 it goes all the way to 27 across the field gets them a field goal I get it with the six and six for six on the field goals I think they stalled a little bit in some high Red Zone opportunities uh I think this is an easy decision I would go with Justin Fields I think the best thing is he didn't rely on his legs he used them when it was needed not when it felt comfortable I don't need to see Russell with all due respect I just don't need to see cuz I don't think Russell is going to do anything significantly greater than Justin has and can to elevate the offense Dan had I would have agreed with you had Russell cancel excuse me had Justin field cancel C cashed in some of those Red Zone situations I would have come out here with you today you and I would have be in agreeance Justin Fields needs to start but because he didn't because they settled for six field goals I think this situation is really set up if Russell cannot succeed because when Russell was in Seattle what did they do Dan they played outstanding defense they ran the football and then Russ did some improvisational things well this defense in Pittsburgh led by TJ watt is Sensational they got good guys on the back end that can cover you got hot Smith so they got guys on the defensive side of the football that's going to keep them in every game they can run the football with Warren and Nigi Harris George pickings can make plays friy mute so they have guys around Russ that they won't become reliant on Russ run under the football play defense and if Russ can't get it done here no I'm not saying go back to Russ and if he lose a game go back to Justin Fields but I think let's see let's give him let's give him four games let's see how we look after those four games and then we'll have enough definitive proof that say you know what Russ is what he is he's never going to be what he once was in Seattle but I think they brought him in there to give him that opportunity and I think they should now we'll see how it feel we'll see how it turns out that calf is healed enough that play but the moretin fields plays and the more comfortable he get I think it gets harder and harder for Mike tomin to go to Russ all right so one I was the person who all last season was saying Russell Wilson is playing better football than people are claiming that he did okay I thought he played like top 12 quarterback I don't think he's looked great this preseason in the short amount of time that that I've watched him play and because of the style of offense with Justin like here's my push back to you two what do you think Russell's going to do better or not as bad as Justin like why just because of be his past is that like the experience is that the the only thing experience and the experience and the accuracy and the accuracy throwing a football I know the Deep throws to pickings were there but there were a lot of other throws that wasn't necessarily that wasn't necessarily the case I want to see who's the better passer of the football in the Steelers you Russell Wilson's probably a better thrower of the football and a better pass but I don't think okay go ahead go ahead I don't think gets that like I don't think well let's find out is all I'm saying but but hold on hold on guys this is what I normally would have said and Shannon I want to ask you this as someone obviously a hall of fam or been in plenty of locker rooms but normally you would have said okay start with Russell Wilson right the veteran guy and then if things don't work out you move to Justin Fields the injury happens obviously Russell Wilson has been banged up I'm doing foree fore speech speech speech for fore spee [Music] speech speech spee for speech foree fore spee speee [Music] foree fore foree foree foree for byebye for
