GET UP | Steelers should trade Russell Wilson for Vikings QB Ryan Tannehill as QB1 - Mike Tannenbaum

and the Guardians win 9 to5 now to the NFL and we're 15 days away from the start of the regular season so you know me when I have a cash like this I have to give them each three burning question we're going to start with Kmart which wide receiver stand off ends first Jamar Chase Brandon auk or CD lamb well RC I mean Jerry Jones told us he's having productive talks so how could I say anybody other than CD lamb it sounds like these two sides are close I think out of these three CD lamb is going to be the only one who gets the kind of money he's looking for and is playing on the team that he's currently with CD lamb is a player who's needed on that team but Mike T which quarterback will have the biggest bounceback season for you RC I'm going to go with Joe burrow you know he only played 10 games last year coming off with that big risk injury but I think the offensive Line's better obviously they need Jamar Chase they lost Joe Mixon but I think Zach Moss will more than compensate there and I love Germaine burn third round pick out of Alabama so if he could stay healthy this team is loaded and again that's assuming Jabar Chase is there but Joe burough should be there at the end with the Bengals Lewis which quarterback should win the starting job in Pittsburgh yeah I think this has to be Justin Fields Ryan look I mean both of these guys came into this organization this year with no equity build up with this organization in particular we say all the time the league is about availability even more so than your ability Russ hasn't been available no fault of his own Justin has taken advantage of those reps those increased reps I think he has shown you enough upside to think that right now he's the guy who needs to be qb1 come week one well headed into this game leis the Steelers released an updated dep chart and Russell Wilson is listed ahead of justed fields as yet again hey they're supposed to get the graphics to match up with European hear we want you to sort of set the scene for us though what are you hearing about this third and final preseason game in Pittsburgh I mean the great thing about the Steelers is this is to me what feels like the one true QB competition where you're heading into this important game it's preseason but we still expect to see a lot of both of these guys now it depends what head coaches you talk to some will say I actually don't put as much stock in the preseason games as I do in those joint practices but Mike Tomlin has said I put a lot of stock into what I see on the field and so far with both the offense with both of these quarterbacks hasn't looked that crisp is that is that a delicate way putting it they've dealt with injuries on the offensive line jayen Warren now missing a couple weeks his status for week one is questionable so this is a pivotal game for both of these guys but I don't know I feel like if you felt like Justin Fields was more athletic um had more upside I don't think what we've seen the preseason has changed your mind if anything we knew that going in yeah I I think you got to take it all into account now right I mean like I said just a minute ago none of these guys have any Equity with this football team so I think everything matters I think meetings matter I think walkthroughs matter I think joint practices matter I think seven on seven nine on seven team Red Zone everything matters whether it's the game or not and I know Mike T has said this and look who am I to question anything that this man says but he he says look what happens in game type situations for him weighs very heavily on his decision- making and I get that and I and I'm I'm a I'm a Believer in that too but I think right now it's about the body of work that these guys have put together in every different scenario that they have been exposed to with this organization because now if you just went off a game experience I mean what they done in the game you tell me who's the who's the better guy I mean I would still say look from an upside perspective I think Justin gives Arthur more of what he can work with and I think he's going to get better I think this offense is tailor made for him so in the end I think they'll land on him but um this will be interesting all the way down the RO like T you from an executive standpoint when you're looking at both of these men in such different places in their career who should you want to win the starting job Fields RC he's 10 years younger so again and both guys don't have a contract for next year so if the four of us were running the Pittsburgh Steelers I agree with what Lewis said unless it was discernably different where Russell Wilson was better we want Justin fields to win the job and we want to extend him so we're not in the same situation next year so to me he's younger he's more athletic he has more upside look he doesn't have the stature or the accomplishments that Russell Wilson has but because of his age and again the upside I would go with Justin field okay but so you kind of had an interesting trade proposal in this morning's meeting so RC unfortunately for Minnesota you know history is repeat so we go back to 20 to the Vikings so to me I think a win-win here is to trade Russell Wilson to Minnesota I think he's a better quarterback than Sam darl they certainly can battle it out and then Ryan tanah Hill is still a free agent guys and you go back to the two years that Ryan tanah Hill was with Arthur Smith at Tennessee they had an unbelievable two-year run 18 and eight they averaged 30 points per game let him come in and at least initially back up Justin Fields but now you have Justin Fields who we already said is Young you have Ryan tanah Hill who knows the system and has done a great job with Arthur Smith in the past and maybe you pick up an extra third or fourth round pick yeah I mean that that connection that parallel between Ryan tanah Hill and Justin Fields is one you know I pointed out a couple different times that look he had the best he had the best seasons of his career with Arthur and obviously Justin Fields is a much better athlete than what Ryan is and that's not to take anything away from Ryan tanah Hill cuz he's a fantastic athlete but I think to me that's what Arthur sees could I have the same effect on Justin fields that I had on Ryan could I actually take this offense and kind of like boost it and supercharge it a little bit in terms of what I did with Ryan tanhill and get even more production see that that just makes sense to me it it it just really I'm not saying this look the trade makes sense as you propos it this morning I I hadn't even thought about it in that way and I don't think Russ would be a detriment to the quarterback room if you kept him there right I think he would accept that but that does make sense because of all the common threats I get it but LS you just said Ryan tanah Hill had his best seasons under Arthur SM right his best season but he's available and the quarterbacks that they signed this off season were Russell Wilson and they traded for for Justin field so Ryan tanah Hill was there for the taking a lot of a thought well would make easy sense Arthur Smith is now Pittsburgh Ryan tanah Hill just get him they didn't do that there's got to re be a reason they didn't also after last year we saw so many quarterbacks starting quarterbacks go down with injury I don't think the only reason you get rid of a quarterback especially a veteran in that locker room who doesn't end up winning the starting job is if he's just like attitude wise in that QB room it's a disruption I don't see Russell being that so why would I I understand the production may not be the same as Justin fields in the upside but why would I then get rid of Russell and I'm left with Kyle Allen and yeah and I mean I agree yeah also too a large part of this entire thing was to have a better qu room than you had last year and having Russell Wilson inside that quarterback room I do believe makes it a better quarterback room the only piece I believe Ryan tanah Hill adds to Jed Phils or Arthur Smith if if he can be some kind of conduent between the two of them here is how you run the offense here is the way Arthur's going to see things on our in our third down packages versus this team versus this defense this is where Arthur would want you to make your first read but outside of that I don't necessarily know if Ryan tanah Hill at this moment makes this quarterback room better Mike T yeah here here's the only thing I would add is first of all I agree with what Kmart said last year 66 different quarterbacks started a game so depth that quarterback is Paramount but once you get to the regular season the backup doesn't get a lot of reps so I think one of the other things ryot tanah Hill gives you is by knowing the system he doesn't need a lot of reps to get ready and look somebody like if the four of us were sitting here in December someone is going to be this year's Joe flacko right someone's going to come out of nowhere and help a team materially and and maybe it's tanah Hill in Pittsburgh we'll see but if I'm Minnesota guys like the verb I'm using I'm scouring like I just lost JJ McCarthy who looked great so you know why why won't they go get tanah Hill the tanah hill is so great Mike T it's a fair question maybe you know they're looking at all their options RC but I would think like between now and the Final Cuts once we lost JJ McCarthy we got Sam Darnell hopefully he resurrects his career but they should add somebody else I I do I do understand your point simply because I mean you know how important it is regardless of the position people who maybe can't do it like they used to but know it still those guys are invaluable and that quarterback I mean that's exact see Justin has never had someone who's been able to really take him upside and say hey look in this offense I may not be able to do it as good as you anymore but let me just tell you exactly what will allow you to go ahead and reach your potential and look as great as Russ is this is his first time in this system been and so and and again that's not to say that he would be a qu how much would you have to look at what Russ or Ryan tanah Hill could or would do if they had to replace ji when it comes to that decision that's the X Factor right like let's just say that something happened to Justin are you comfortable with Ryan tanah Hill coming in here and playing now or would you be more comfortable with Russell coming in and giving what he can give you at this point in his career that's a question they'd have to answer and I think when you look at Russell Wilson especially through this preseason from what I heard about practices he was so good at orchestrating the offense making sure he made the right read maneuvering the defense but now when you get into game time not getting the football out of your hand to not have the self-awareness that that is one of the flaws you have to un coach yourself or untrain yourself from if I'm Mike Tomlin that makes me a little nervous but he's played at a high level before that play has just slipped another player who played at a high level was Jaylen Herz and okay Jaylen Herz rebound be a topic in the postgame press conference for Shawn mcder you remember the preseason game last year when the bills were besieged by penalties and another tough day in the penalty Department they've been called for 10 penalties tight end Zack Davidson goes in motion second down and 15 buelle back to the air and it's picked off intercepted by Micah Baskerville and he may go to the house buelle can't take him down a touchdown for Chicago yeah you just don't see the offside line backer slipping across Mike Baskerville starts on Belle's left slides over and as buelle tries to hit the curl route right over the the center of the screen watch here's right there his Baskerville you just can't see him the offensive line standing there he gets caught in the wash your vision doesn't pick him up and he slides right in front of the little hitch route and takes it the distance just don't see him slipping From The Far Side in front of that pass Baskerville a firste line backer undrafted a season ago out of LSU has the pick six and the extra point by Santos is no good so Cairo Santos cannot make it 20-6 but baskerville's got that football in his arms a 196 Bears lead as fans you always show up big you drive hours to a away games Brave Z degree weather you go

producer Joe Pinter our director Jim Cornell our executive producer Jeff Matthews mty glad down on the sidelines I'm andon we thank you for joining us for the pre-season over here at High Mark Stadium taquin Hardy and Daron Evans are the Deep men for the kickoff for the Phils of and Evans backtracking into the end zone he will down it well time now to revisit our next star fan pole who will lead the bills and receptions this season we asked you earlier and right now Dalton concade is leading the way with 43% of the votes you said Curtis Samuel didn't I said if they stay Health yes King Kate is I guess King K yes okay although Samuel I think he may have more touches because I think they'll hand him the ball a little bit more than they will than people may realize but I don't that's a guess what do I know well it's a fan pole it's okay oh and Gore Jr is stuffed and getting back there was Deshawn mallerie the rookie from Arizona State yeah he just came through the guard Center gap or the guard tackle Gap and just timed it perfectly Gore had no shot our first in 10 technology is presented by Toyota the official car and truck of the Buffalo Bills loss of five on the play it's second down and 15 and that pass is caught by Xavier Johnson up to the 34 yard line the undrafted rookie out of Ohio State gain of nine for Johnson who joined the Buckeyes as a walk-on back in 2018 and played a little bit of everywhere in Ohio State wide receiver running back kick returner even a little corner interesting uh player as you see you know a guy like Curtis Samuel being used all over the field you've got a guy with some experience of that coming out of college and maybe be able to carve out a spot third down Melle taking a deep shot down the field and it's incomplete Davidson was down there but also Johnson was running down the sideline but slipped and now on fourth down Sam Martin will come out to punt yeah I don't think Davidson even realized the ball was going to be thrown to him or he'd have a chance at it uh he didn't see it until very late buelle trying to go for the big one and just couldn't come up with anybody in the vicinity it looked you're right it was a little bit how we got a player down looks like Brian Thompson but it looked like you know buelle was just hoping one of them could get to the throw and neither one of them could it is the first year wide receiver Brian Thompson Who's down in the ground he spent last year on the bills practice squad played collegiately at Utah and then finished at Arizona State he looked like he was okay he started to get off the field and then he he sat down because he he wasn't going to make it but bull wearing my favorite Buffalo Bills jersey number number 89 we have seen some Tasker 89 jerseys in the stands today and it's not just because your family is here no there's I noticed in the sea of Josh Allen jerseys there was like one from your granddaughter my grandaughter there it is on the wall of fame
