00:00I understand all the plays that you mentioned and you're right about all of them, but there's

00:10no one in the NFL that's through three hours is perfect.

00:15They make mistakes.

00:16They miss guys.

00:17They throw picks.

00:18They have bad throws, this, that, whatever, under throw guys, whatever.

00:21I won't argue with you that he had moments of frustration, but at the end of the day,

00:27he made the plays that mattered and scored two touchdowns.

00:31He ran for almost a half a buck and two tutties.

00:35And I thought Harris played great.

00:37They kicked their crappy team's ass.

00:39There is no way I bench him right now when you're four and two for a tester game with

00:43Wilson against the Jets in primetime so we can watch him go out and lose.

00:48Yeah.

00:49I, I, like I said, I have my reasons for, for thinking that a change could be warranted

00:55in addition to the two plays I mentioned that there was also a clear miss touchdown

01:00pass where Calvin Austin, you see those games where you're like, why don't the Steelers

01:04ever have one of those guys that nobody is covering?

01:08Well, this time they did against the Raiders and fields couldn't find him even though he

01:13wasn't under that much pressure and he just threw the ball away.

01:16That was another significant mistake, but I do believe that he should start on Sunday

01:22night and if he continues to perform adequately, should continue to play.

01:26I don't think that his play has been to the level of where it becomes necessary to make

01:32the change.

01:33And as much as I believe that Russell Wilson could be a capable starter for the Steelers

01:40with a completely disintegrated offensive line, you're missing four starters on your

01:45offensive line, three for the season.

01:49That's, that's, that's a key there.

01:51As well as the fact that you, you don't have, you haven't had Russ all year, so you don't

01:57know what he's even capable of at this point.

02:00You can watch him in practice, but we all know that's not exactly the same as a game.

02:05No one, no one's allowed to hit him in practice.

02:07So how could that possibly get him ready for what he would face from a very fine Jets defense

02:12on Sunday night?
