This is Russell Wilson's first preseason action happening tomorrow. It is. Okay. Yeah. And
00:10
he's a starter. Mike Tomlin has said he is the starter, but they will both get four series.
00:15
Russell will get four. Justin will get four and we'll make out of it what we make out
00:19
of it. Cause I think this is the best opportunity. And Mike Tomlin said, what happens in game
00:23
is a little bit more important than what happens in practice. And so I'm excited to see what
00:28
Russell Wilson has. I think Justin feels is a better quarterback at this point in
00:31
both their careers. But I, again, I don't know where Mike Tomlin's trying to go with
00:37
this season. So from all reports, they want to run the ball. Their offensive line is set
00:41
up to run the ball. And I think they want to be more cautious with the offense and having
00:46
Russell Wilson out there. It's probably better to start the season until they get in trouble
00:51
and anything to make something out of it. And then you may see Justin fields, but if
00:55
he doesn't beat him out, I'm not worried about it. All right, let's keep going here.
00:59
Our petition though. I don't really don't. I think when you're talking about quarterback
01:03
competitions, you're talking about what you saw last night. I think we were talking about
01:06
in Denver and, Oh, and Las Vegas. Like those are like the real quarterback competitions.
01:11
I just think that no matter what Justin fields does in the preseason, it's Russell Wilson's job.
01:17
Yes. You can't start the season with Russell Wilson on the bench.
01:21
No, because you cause chances are if, if Russell Wilson doesn't perform and if Justin fields does
01:27
take over the starting job at some point during the year, my guess would be the Steelers will
01:32
cut Russell Wilson as soon as they can. And the reason for that is he's barely making any money
01:37
from the Steelers. He's making all of his money from the Broncos. He was a low risk, but a
01:43
potential high reward acquisition for the Steelers. And he's not in my opinion. And I was
01:51
around Russell Wilson plenty when he was in Seattle, when I was doing Monday night football
01:54
games, or I was doing NFL games for Westwood one. He is not the kind of personality that is going to
02:00
be in my estimation, a supportive backup quarterback.
