How much pressure is on Russell Wilson tonight? If the Steelers offense fails to get the ball moving for majority of this game, will there be whispers for Justin Fields? The guys looked at what didn’t work for Russ in the win over Baltimore. The team is 4-0 with Wilson at QB and were 4-2 with Fields, so is the precedent there on them going back? How short of a leash does Wilson have? Switching between QBs is a lot easier said than done.
KDKA TV’s Bob Pompeani joined the show. Bob predicted a 31-6 Steelers win and told the guys why he thinks it will be one-sided in favor of Pittsburgh. Bob doesn’t expect Justin Fields to be on the field in the red zone for more than two snaps tonight. Will Minkah Fitzpatrick have a pick? Not according to Bob, but he doesn’t think Joey Porter Jr. takes one back to the house. How much of a wild card QB is Jameis Winston? Bob does not want to see a QB change if the offense struggles tonight. Pomp doesn’t think Myles Garrett deserves any sort of apology from anyone in black & gold.
