Mike Tomlin Discusses Russell Wilson's Steelers Debut
Transcript
00:00How about Mike Tomlin and the Steelers, Scotty?
00:07Actually yesterday was their last day at Latrobe, as they will head back to Pittsburgh.
00:12I know they have joint practice with the Bills going on today.
00:16Here's Tomlin talking about Russell Wilson, who is going to start on Saturday night against
00:21the Bills and how he has been getting along with him so far.
00:25You know, it's a good to know, you know, we've known each other from a distance.
00:29Obviously, we're both Virginia guys, but you really don't know people until you get
00:34an opportunity to work with them day to day and, you know, we've established a foundation
00:38in that regard.
00:39But, you know, it's just the beginning, to be quite honest with you, man.
00:43The journey that is the season is going to provide enough opportunities for us to do
00:47that.
00:48Yeah, Mike, always serious with every answer.
00:53All that matters is this guy starting against the Bills.
00:57And when it's all said and done, he'll start against the Falcons in week one.
01:04I agree.
01:06I have now gone completely to what you have said for a while.
01:09He's going to start week one and he's going to get, you know, four to six weeks of runway
01:17with that team to see what he could do.
01:20And unless things go really poorly in those first four to six weeks, I think that Justin
01:26Fields is going to have to wait a while.
01:27And if he plays well, he's going to be playing, waiting even longer, Scotty, to play Justin
01:32Fields.
01:33So we shall see how that goes for him.
