Patriots & Steelers QB BURNING QUESTIONS + CeeDee Lamb update?! | Get Up

Patriots vs. Commanders Let's go people we are 10 days to the start of the NFL season I am back in better than ever and ready to go shefy has got all the answers dewers is looking for somebody to hit Dan olowski is hoping someone gets open today so he can throw a couple of Dimes let's go last game of the NFL regular season excuse me pre-season last night I'm getting ahead of myself way ahead of myself Patriots commanders last game of the preseason quarterback battle New England Jaden Daniels no battle he didn't play he's the starter in Washington meanwhile first Patriot Drive jacobe brette goes down and hard sheffy this looked bad it did he came up Grim missing you saw how much pain he was in I thought it was going to be worse than it was but after the game d Mayo City could have come back all right so hopefully that's not a bad injury meanwhile Dan Drake may look quite good this is third and 14 yeah you see the Natural Instinct screen he changed the protection wanted to try to throw that ball to the sideline and took off and then some of the under Center play action he threw the ball downfield so well this Crosser for me his feet have gotten so much better greeny I love this throw for the touchdown to the naked eye it might look like an easy throw but the placement of it allows Harris to catch and then go run Drake May every week of this preseason has done nothing but get better and improve it was 13 of 20 last night 126 yards the commanders you see there the final score 20 to 10 but that's not what matters what matters is what we saw on the field and Lewis rck whose eye for this stuff is as good as anyone's had this very simple tweet after the game last night start Drake may he would what do you Start Drake Maye? think of that he brings something that jacobe brette just doesn't bring to the table like you see you saw it last night the playmaking ability the arm Talent all of that the only thing I worry about is offensive line you saw jacobe betet just take that vicious hit come off off coming off the edge I think that's one position that you worry about but he's played better than jov Bret he's he like you could see like as Dan said he's gotten better and better so I would agree I would start Drake May Dan all we talked about leading up to the draft coming out of the draft was this kid is one you're going to have to be patient with don't rush him out onto the field don't make him go out there and do things before he's ready to and now here we are after three preseason games and we're talking about starting Drake May what do you think couldn't pay me enough to start Drake may I I I wouldn't do it and I wouldn't let anybody convinced me otherwise I got a lot of love for Lewis here's here's my stance on this if we're looking at it through the the the prism of Drake May when it comes to his Development I've loved it he's he's changed protections he's controlled and owned a little bit of the line of scrimmage he's thrown the ball very well the big flaw coming out of school with his feet and the erratic element of his feet that has improved so much so from that vantage point I I get it I understand it someone give me me a good reason why to play Drake May are you serving yourself or you serving you know what people may want or or what you think the organization wants or the fans want there there's three things that rookie quarterbacks need to have success in the NFL let alone to make sure they don't get ruined good scheme in play caller plus offensive line plus skill Alex Van pelter offensive coordinator I don't know a ton about I like his scheme I don't know a ton about him as a play caller I think it's his first time so I'm not making a judgment on that they don't have plus offensive line plus skill they don't there's no reason to play Drake May unless you have those three things the Patriots have at least 0 for two if not 0 for three listen Gerard Mayo has emphasized that this is a competition and he keeps saying that and I think everybody expected all along that it was going to be jacobe brassette to open the season and that they would bring along Drake May when he's ready the thing is Drake May has looked good this summer he has shined when he has gotten the chance and so in this world that we live in there's always this rush to start these rookie quarterbacks I love when teams draft these guys and say we're going to be patient we're not going to rush things and all of a sudden sooner before later that rookie quarterback is out there being exposed sometimes it works like CJ strad more often than not it doesn't now Gerard Mayo said that he wanted to make a decision by Tuesday so so the next 24 48 hours we should be hearing about the Patriot starting quarterback my first question is are we sure that jacobia brassette is okay physically from the hit he took last night after the game d May said he could have come back in the game not an issue so assuming that's not an issue he then can go ahead and make a decision and do you want to start a rookie in Cincinnati the first week look to me I would not make that decision based upon the health of ger of of jacobe brassette either correct at the end of the day you've got to do what is in the best interest in the long term of your Young quarterback so we're going to see the first pick start we're going to see the second pick start we're waiting to see a decision on the third in the meantime we are exactly 10 days people from NFL kickoff so we've put together 10 big questions today and the first one is the obvious big one in Pittsburgh who's going to be the quarterback Russell Wilson played five snaps on Saturday against Detroit led the Steelers first team offense to their first touchdown of the preseason and then they took him right out Justin Fields came in he played three series he also led the team to a score after the Steelers QB update game Mike Tomlin gave this timeline on the decision ahead we'll make a decision at the end of our work week this upcoming week uh we got three days of Steelers versus Steelers work and why not do it then it kind of you know minimizes the steers versus Steelers work when we start making decisions prior uh to the completion of that we've got ample time to prepare for Atlanta and make whatever decisions or announcements regarding divisional labor or pecking orders and so forth and so we'll do it at the end end of the work week okay so they're going to do Steeler versus Steeler work and then make a decision at the end of the week Chey what should we take from that well it'll be the end of the week as he says and I think most people would be surprised if it weren't Russell Wilson I think Mike tomman has been pretty clear from the outset of the off season that Russell Wilson has been to use his words in the pole position and Russell Wilson has played well enough to win that job to keep that job however you want to phrase it and again that doesn't mean that it's going to be a long wish it doesn't mean we're not going to see Justin fields at some point in time but I think it would be a surprise if he went Justin Fields over Russell Wilson to open the season I I would think most people think that that's the move he'll make that that'll be the Steelers opening day starting quarterback Dan Orlowski if you were the head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers who are you giving the ball to I would have started Justin Fields but this was never a quarterback competition we were Bamboozled a little bit I and I have endless amounts of respect back for Mike Tomlin I remember when both of the moves were made being on the show and we said if if this was really going to be an open quarterback competition I expected Justin fields to win that this was never a quarterback competition Russell played in preseason week two he threw the ball twice against the Steelers now Justin Fields has had the ups and downs the waves and whatnot I thought he threw the ball really well versus the Detroit Lions everyone was going to say he took two more sacks neither of them were on him and so I understand the premise of like they're banking on the hopeful more consistency from Russell Wilson but this was never a quarterback competition if it was Russell would have played much more in preseason week three this past weekend I would have started Justin fields and I would have tried to minimize the rioting of the wave that's not the case in Pittsburgh D what do you think no I agree listen I me personally I would have started Justin Fields because brings him to the table from an Athletics uh standpoint that Russell Wilson just doesn't both of these guys are flawed quarterbacks make no mistake about it they're both flawed quarterbacks but at least with Justin Fields I got to game plan something with him at quarterback especially in the running game you don't have anything to game plan against with with Russell Wilson he is who he is and he's not in my opinion he's not going to get any better so like Dan said I think this was never a quarterback competition Russell Wilson was always going to be guy but me personally I would have start I would have started juson field he feels again he feels re-energized he feels like he's in the right environment he feels like he being Russell Russell with the Run game being what it is with the defense being what it is in Pittsburgh he feels like he's going to get a chance to shine and you'll see the Russell Wilson that we've seen in the past now again we have to see Tom make the decision we have to see Russell go out and play but he feels like it's the pieces are in place for him to play better than he has I'm trying to I'm trying to make up my own mind what to make of the fact that he continues he being Mike Tomlin in this case continues to push the announcement back if he already knows what he's going to do you what I what I would say is and this applies to New England Pittsburgh I don't understand why they're announcing it at all well what's the what purpose does that serve again if I'm Gerard Mayo I know you want to announce the decision but why am I telling the Bengals who the quarterback is the media will see it but you say to the media practice that's closed off you can't say what we're doing Personnel wasse like what advantage is there to say in either case which guy you tell me that's interesting so so let's be clear as far as um transparency is concerned they're obligated to report injuries they're not obligated to report who the starting quarterback people could figure it out they could sense it but again you want every Advantage you could have right and I would think that preparing for Drake May and jacobe peret are different Russell Wilson and Justin Fields a little bit different and by the way if you're the Falcons and you're getting ready for the Steelers you probably have to prepare for both quarterbacks anyway but what advantage do you gain by saying who it's going to be I'm just what comes out of that is it Danny go ahead yeah I would say this I don't know if there's an advantage that you gain I don't know if there's an advantage of listen you got to know who your starting quarterback is the Pittsburgh Steelers want to know as you go into the regular season who's the guy they you everybody's got to start to buy into to what that decision or who that decision is to your point Shey the the Atlanta Falcons they're going to prepare for both quarterbacks it's not like they're not going to have a very specific plan for if Justin Fields were to come into the game because the designed quarterback run is going to be a much kind of more staple part of their offense so they're not going to get surprised by that I don't think this is a deception Thing by Mike Tomlin I agree I don't know what's taking so long to make the decision publicly cuz it's pretty clear that it's been made privately players know who's the starting quarterback going be MH all you got to do in practice everything's a dead giveway and practice by reps and all that the players know we're not obligated to know but the players on the on their respective squads know who's going to be the starting quarterback week one so we'll see so they they're on their way to making a decision and maybe on their way to making it public that was big question number one 10 days from the start of the Season Here Comes number two we're going to Dallas the big question is whether or not CD lamb will be with the Cowboys for their opening game on the road week one against the Browns CD lame entering the last year of his deal he still hasn't reported time is Tick Tick ticking away and Listen to Jerry Jones choice of response when asked for an update over the weekend we're not uh I don't have any updates but uh we're are near the season starting have you seen him or his representation listen I got a lot of things to talk about I'm only talking about who's here okay so look this has stopped being cute right I mean a month ago I said oh maybe we've got a story in Dallas I'll try and make it into something here but obviously they'll get this thing done and Chey we are less than two weeks away from them being on the field for their first regular season game oh by the way against what might have been the best defense in the NFL last year and he's still not signed in Jerry doesn't sound like it's close August 26 today is Right August 26th the two sides are roughly roughly I don't know the specifics about a million dollar a year apart how hard can it be to bridge that difference to get one of the most valuable players in football back into the fold less than two weeks before the start of the regular season and Dallas has to take on the Cleveland Browns we're talking about a million dollars if you're the Dallas Cowboys puff up the last few years inflate the average salary get the guy in Camp and get it done they're not that far apart like I would have thought this deal would have been done weeks ago [Music]
