Me and my Brother were talking about Fields deep ball just yesterday. He makes it look so effortless, while going back and watching KP8, it was like he was putting everything he had into a 30 yard pas.
DK, okay so there's conflicting reports between this show and brook pryer. According to HER, fields has been struggling... THIS IS WHY I LOVE THIS SHOW... you don't go for the click bait material
Brook Prior sold out to espn years ago. She’s basically trying to draw attention.
@ChrisB7102 well that's why it's been reported that this practice was Fields best so far.
Brooke is ESPN . They don’t know shit . That’s why you come here
Listen to how Mike Tomlin answer her question strict 2 the point no extra words I wouldn’t trust a word she says
regardless of Brooke Pryor, Jim Wexell, whom I totally trust as a Steeler reporter, has also suggested Fields has struggled with decision making.
Hi DK, warm regards and so excited for football coming ! I want to say that I'm all in with Fields as a QB. He has everything and trust me that for him it will be a different game when he deals with his weapons and his young and tough OL. Wilson can be a stud, no doubt, but Fields brings so many weapons that make me excited. This year seems to be promising. All the best Lazaro
It's great to hear Justin Fields is playing so well. He very well could be that QB. Thank you DK. It's football time, the big day is coming. Great show !
Can not wait for the Ramon show . Hump day!!!
Good Wednesday morning everyone
I’m still undecided on who i would like to see as the starting QB…hopefully the best QB wins the job
I personally feel Fields is our guy, he looks the part! He is tall, athletic, young, and shows he is dynamic !
@@user-bf7se6vd4n Fields is most certainly a Boom or Bust guy. His talents are ridiculous, but he has got to reign in his thought process and learn patience
Fields really is a freak athlete! The question is can he complete 5 of 5 for 78 yards in a minute and 50 seconds with no timeouts to win a game and carry a football team when necessary? I don't know..
I've never seen him do that. He lost his job because he struggled with accuracy, and decision-making at critical moments.
Hopefully he will correct those issues, however it would be the first time I've ever seen it done. You either have it, or you don't.
Maybe it's just a matter of time, reps, and maturity to get comfortable. I hope so! He is a physical stud!
That catch Gp is special
Some may call the offensive skill players "role players with unique talents", but in the WR room more specifically, I see a #1 WR, 5 fringe roster guys, & an injured rookie who needed a major breakout to make that room even remotely respectable - which I never expected from him immediatly.
Their current #2 WR has less career TD catches in 4 years than Chase Claypool had through his first 15 games. Chase Claypool. That borders into being negligent.
First time we've seen Fields smile. He acknowledged the need to improve mechanics. Great stuff
Justin is a LAID BACK QUIET SORT OF A GUY. Always has been. That's a big part of his personality. Every Athlete who has ever played a Sport or plays any Sport works to IMPROVE his Game and Mechanics throughout his or her Sports-Career. Just look at what SIMONE BILES just did at the Olympics. It has taken her YEARS OF PRACTICE to accomplish what she just did to become the most DECORATED-GYMNAST in OLYMPICS HISTORY. I can say the same for LEBRO JAMES. It has taken LeBron YEARS OF PRACTICE to NOW being able to make a 3-POINT-JUMP SHOT. I watched him the other day make that SHOT against Team-Serbia. Justin just needs to keep doing the same: keep training, keep learning, keep growing and stay-focused. time is on his side and there is no telling where Justin's SKILL-LEVEL will be in the next two or three years.
If he does a better job of taking care of the ball in game he can absolutely be the future of the team. I've watching him closely since his first year at OSU, he's incredibly gifted, but so are a lot of the players in the league, he's gotta find the balance between taking what the defense gives him and making the plays he's capable of making.
"Eiffel Tower sized Quotations",,, I see how you attach this episode to the Olympic Games, very clever you DAWG 👍 love what you provide us with, Thanks 😊
Great perspectives as always DK.
Gm DK hopefully he can continue to grow and keep the rhythm going
Great point on Mt. Washington ….exactly what we need to see.
Kind of late ain’t ya DK? Lol good morning! Fields just has to continue to stack days like these.
Washington doesn't have that after the catch move. However, shear power and beast mode is his asset.
Not pushing the boundaries that got him into trouble with the Bears. That’s how he finished the second half of the season last year. He’s starting where he left off and probably better.
Hi DK, Since camp is now in the morning, will you and the gang be back at the 5th Ave HQ in the afternoon? I'll be at camp one day but also want to see you and Dali afterwards. Thanks! And good things from you this morning.
That's on you not on me 🤣🖤💛
Call Connor Heyward been showed he had great hands. Canada mistakenly didn’t use him last season.
You know the old saying if you have 2 qbs you have none... i sure hope one of them can play better than rudolph played at the end of the season
I hope given Fields continued first looks Tomlin gives him at least some consideration. The guy is dynamic!!!
@@brucehamilton7702 Tomlin most likely will still start R Wilson since he told him he's the starter. Could be a mistake but we will see.
Didn't we get all excited last year after a full preseason about the offense?! It's day one of pads, give me a break on fields talk, chicago went through the same talk
Arthur Smith is a bonafide OC and Fields did not have that with Bears..when drafted Matt Nagy did not have one play created for him and when thrown in that Browns game he was given the Andy Dalton playbook…he wants to pass the ball & rush when needed…
Unfortunately we saw good things with Kenny until we saw him in the regular season. I would like to think Justin could be the long term solution but until I see it in the regular season I’m not going to get overly excited
After last seasons preseason I’m not having any expectations high or low
So basically Justin had a field day,lol😂
Yeah it's early DK but camp will be over in a heartbeat, Friday Night Lights is this week and the HOF game is tomorrow! I believe Fields is the QB of the future and maybe as the late, great George Allen once said, "THE FUTURE IS NOW!" PS. WHAT AN AWESOME PHOTO , you can the coach in the background signaling TOUCHDOWN! 😎
DK all I heard in the first two minutes is that Fields is an MVP candidate. Please confirm
Well Mr DK with this latest performance HOPEFULLY Fields could be the future answer for the Steelers because at his age he could solidify the position for years to come.
Hey DK, heard Roman Wilson got hurt yesterday, if it’s not good news does that open the Ayuk conversation again?
Hopefully it’s not a bad injury.
Roman wilson is fine. He just has a low graded sprained ankle.
Hey DK, has anyone spoken about the NFL attempting to use Brian Flores's arbitration clause in his contract with the Steelers in an attempt to dismiss his entire racial discrimination case? Despite Omar Kahn putting in writing that the contract is not intended to prevent the production of his lawsuit. I can't imagine Omar, Tomlin, or Art Rooney are happy about this.
I feel like Wilson is the safest pick and we could win with him.. but the anarchist in me wants Fields even if we crash and burn
Maybe we don't need safe. But we have 2 good choices so I'm fine either way.
There are conflicting reports about fields. I’ve heard from reporters close to the team like Gerry Dulac that outside of the occasional exceptional deep pass on a roll out or a good run off a qb scramble he’s looked pretty average at best. The decision making, ball placement and inability to read diagnose coverages issues that he had in Chicago has shown up too. So much athleticism great arm, lacks nothing physically, it sucks because many qbs with potential have come and gone.
I learned from last year to not get my hopes up 😆
“You are not keeping him on the sidelines for 17 games, when he’s capable of more athletic things…”
For whatever reason, Tomlin did the same thing to Mason Rudolph last year for darn near 17 games. Until he was FORCED to sniff the crap up close, that he saw with his own eyes playing out last year. Even when Mason showed everyone in camp that he was the best QB of last year’s 3. Tomlin found and will continue will find a way to continue being stubborn to his own detriment 🙄
But hey, let’s hope not. 🤷🏾♂️
DK hear me out…. Everyone wants to make slash comparisons. And I get it. What if we use fields like Andy Reid used Vick that first year when McNabb was still the starter? I vaguely remember that while McNabb did start. Vick got a lot of decent plays, rpos, options, and a few passing plays sprinkled in. I feel like that’s a better balance than the slash role.
I would not be shocked at all if Fields becomes a very good nfl QB
The one position we can't afford injuries is WR. That figures.
Connect Hayward catches everything. You can trust him.
I have no doubt that Russ gives a a better shot a winning more games this year but he is 35 years old and is a shorter guy who when he was at his best relied on getting out of the pocket and improvising. Fields is such a talented athlete and while I know he has a lot to work on I just feel like you gotta do everything you can to get the most out of his potential. This team should be very good at running the football this year and if you have a QB like fields who is an elite runner this offense could be very dynamic.
Washington may need to go to the Lynn Swann school of ballet?
? How do you perform while working in an hostile environment? A change of scenery can do wonders
they saw good things with Kenny P until we saw him in the regular season. Justin same thing.....all good too because they were and is practicing against our defense ...just wait until I see it in the regular season ..against other defenses.........then judge him
Well, for now, regarding the two QB's, we have a goos problem to have. If we do utilize both QB's throughout the season with Russ as the initial starter and they both (he and Fields) plays very well, amd let's just say Russ is the better passer and Fields passes pretry good, but his legs are better. Then I would say we have a BAD PROBLEM to have at the end of the season bc you find them both an asset and can't decide who to keep. I guess it will come down to the younger guy? Find a way to keep both? Dount we can. Other teams would be fighting for Fields.
Quite MISCHIEVOUS take DK😏
Kenny could have been really good in this offense. But the Steelers didn't want to develop a QB. Justin Fields right now.is looking like the better QB between him and Russ which Fields is also young, super mobile, and well had a serious advantage of height. He has been very good this training camp I'd like to see him in at least the preseason games to get a better feel for how good he is in this Offensive scheme
If u remember Kenny Pickett, didn’t want to compete he asked for a trade can’t develop anyone that doesn’t want too be developed
It's hard to develop someone with an incredibly limited arm, low football IQ, is injury prone, but was somehow billed as "pro ready" just bc he was old. Like the other commenter said, with that combo, you can't also think you're way better than you are & that the job is owed to you. I'm betting he falls to philly's #3 by camps end & washes out of the nfl at the end of his rookie deal.
I'm glad Kenny and Matt Canada are gone. I seen enough 3 and outs.

I want see what Russ can do
Yeeeeeehaaaaw
How can people be at practice. But see totally different things? who should I believe.
Agreed. I’m going with the footage I’ve seen and it been looking good.
Brother lives in Chicago and is a bears fan.. says Fields always looks his best in preseason.. the problem Is wen the games count
I need around 25 points per game or someone is going to be benched or fired.
30
Roman Wilson update is a big deal. Yet you talk about a second string QB.
Who gets credit for the awful Cards, Pats, Colts run ? Are we putting that all on Mitch ? Maybe we should ... or is it on Tomlin ? I'd really love to know who that is on ...
Mitch , tomlin isn’t the one throwing the ball
You know it was on Tomlin, but people think their great HOF coach can do no wrong!
Mischief DK
He didn't earn or force his way....Russell was dinged and the no 2 takes reps.
Since when most people on here are coaches????
NOT parentheses; it is quotes. And check on Mischievous. No long "e."
Let’s hope Justen doesn’t get Rudolph.
Russ could care less. If the Steelers have any chance this season they need Russ. Delusional Steelers fans actually think fields is that guy Lol 😅
Chicago gave him away for peanut 6th round pick
