00:00Here is Tom when he loves what Russell Wilson has brought already to the position.

00:07I thought his experience was really evident.

00:11He was unmoved and unshaken by by the lack of fluidity with the start.

00:17But I think that's kind of reflective of a guy that's done it at a high level for over

00:20a decade.

00:21A guy that's a world champion, a guy that's whatever nine, ten time pro bowler.

00:27He's just seen a lot in this game and that's in his back pocket just like his throwing

00:32abilities.

00:33And it gets you in and out of circumstances, certainly.

00:37Listen, no one can deny what he did.

00:41And that's that.

00:42He kicked the Jets ass.

00:43They scored 31 straight points.

00:45He spread the ball around like butter.

00:48He threw to six different receivers.

00:50It opened up the running game.

00:51They've just flat out better than they've looked, even with fields running around and

00:56breaking ankles.

00:58I thought fields did a really good job and I thought Wilson did a better job.

01:02Let's see if that continues.

01:04I think it will, frankly, against this team.

01:06The only question is, will Mafia remember on Friday without you being here to still

01:12get the Tomlin words of wisdom in on a pain-free Friday show?

01:17I'm sure that it will happen.

01:19I'm sure that it will be there for you.

01:21Mike Tomlin's weekly words of wisdom.

01:24This cut maybe would have been all right for it, too.

01:27Tomlin was asked to make it official who was starting at quarterback this week.

01:32Now, obviously, we know how Mike's been kind of playing games with this stuff.

01:36And then also gets asked about having to tell fields that he's not playing.

01:40And that's really the Tomlin words of wisdom.

01:43Here we go.

01:44I just want to make, for clarity's sake, based on your answer to Mike's question, is Russell

01:47going to start on Monday?

01:49He's scheduled to take first team reps when we begin tomorrow.

01:52We'll see where the week leads us.

01:54How difficult is it to have that conversation with a player like Justin, where he's, as

01:57you said, he's been very solid, and his role is going to switch to what it was?

02:00I mean, how difficult is that to start?

02:01I don't worry about the difficulty of conversations.

02:05It's about whether or not they're necessary.

02:08We're pursuing big business here.

02:11Comfort is not a component of what we're chasing.

02:17Comfort is not a component of what we're chasing.

02:21He's hot stuff.

02:22Yeah, he really is.

02:24Your boy, Tom.

02:25He's great.

02:26You've got to love him there.
