the team. The Jets will see in prime time on Sunday night in
00:06
the Steel City. It is the Pittsburgh Steelers and despite
00:09
a four and two start with Justin Fields under center for
00:14
all six games to start this season. It appears a quarterback
00:17
change is underway. Russell Wilson back on the practice
00:21
field yesterday for Pittsburgh did practice for the first time
00:25
since that hamstring injury before the year in full last
00:29
week and yesterday, Donnie, not just a full participant in
00:31
practice for Pittsburgh but taking the reps with the ones.
00:35
He is on track now to start on Sunday night for the Steelers
00:39
against New York. I'm telling you, the minute he completes
00:42
that first five yard out to start that football game, we're
00:44
talking about Russell Wilson, a lot of Iron City beers being
00:47
held high in the air, a lot of Heinz ketchup being poured on
00:50
French fries, a lot of Promancy Brothers sandwiches going down
00:53
the hatch in celebration because that's something you
00:55
don't normally see there with Justin Fields. Wow, wide open,
00:58
wide receiver, an easy pitch and catch. That's pretty
01:00
tremendous. We understand Justin Fields can make plays
01:03
and he has made plays this year. He's great with his legs.
01:05
He's a younger version of Russell Wilson and a more
01:08
dynamic version but all I need to be for my quarterback here
01:12
in Pittsburgh is to be a point guard. Just make the simple
01:15
play. Distribute it. Let everybody do their work. Hand
01:18
the football. The running back runs. Pass it to the tight end
01:21
over the middle. Gain a couple yards. Pass it to the wide
01:23
receiver. Let him get those yak yardage out there. Just make
01:26
the easy plays. Russ will be able to do that but as I've
01:28
said already, Justin Fields still needs to be a big part of
01:31
this offense. Take some hill times too with what New Orleans
01:34
has. He can be effective in the red zone and he can be
01:37
effective on short yardage situations which Russell Wilson
01:39
can't do that anymore. I think you're going to get the best of
01:42
both worlds for the Sears and Ben, I'm not saying Russ is
01:44
coming in this weekend against the Jets. 30 of 35 for 325 and
01:48
three touchdowns. I'm just saying it's going to be nice to
01:50
see a wide open wide out eight yards away. Wow, wasn't that
01:54
easy on that completion.
