00:00Sunday night football in the Steel City for a second consecutive week. The New
00:08York Jets playing in a primetime marquee matchup in a game they had to have. The
00:16New York Jets have been the focus of the NFL in the last 10 days. They fired their
00:21head coach in Robert Sala. They make a change at offensive coordinator and who
00:26is calling the plays. They trade for Devontae Adams all to benefit Aaron
00:31Rodgers all for him to look like a mediocre 40 year old quarterback and
00:38there was also another narrative entering Sunday night in the Steel City
00:42Russell Wilson not Justin Fields getting a start for the Steelers making his
00:48debut in a Pittsburgh uniform. Wasn't great early was great at the end when it
00:55mattered. The Steelers score 31 unanswered points to absolutely rout the
01:02New York Jets 37 to 15. Pittsburgh wins outright as a two and a half point
01:08underdog and maybe just maybe maybe we can finally stop expecting the New York
01:14Jets and Aaron Rodgers to deliver when it matters most. Here's what I liked
01:19yesterday the most I'm gonna get to the Steelers in just a second Russell
01:22Wilson but last week the narrative was all right you're gonna change the coach
01:25because obviously he was the issue nobody ever looked at the Jets before
01:28that and said boy the defense is the problem it's always been the offense so
01:32let's move forward to Devontae Adams getting added to this football team
01:35nobody ever said like the Jets are one wide receiver away from winning this
01:39whole thing nobody ever said that so it's fun that it plays out that way
01:43granted the Jets would have a lead and Garrett Wilson who again is in that wide
01:47receiver room I've been a wide receiver I've been in locker rooms before there's
01:50alpha dogs at wide out there's alpha dogs at tailback there's alpha dogs at
01:54quarterback right you never want to have another alpha dog enter into the
01:57equation say well didn't Garrett Wilson play what five catches 61 yards he
02:00dropped an absolute laser beam from Aaron Rodgers that landed in for an
02:05interception that was returned the opposite way back to what the one yard
02:08line here effectively changing that entire game these guys are worried about
02:12more things off the football field now than on the football field and yes the
02:16Jets aren't a good football team with two or five and yes people will buy back
02:19in because of how much talent they have let's switch it over to the Pittsburgh
02:22Steelers who came into this game Ben at four and two on the season I told
02:26everybody the minute we started hearing that Russell Wilson last week was taking
02:30first-team rents absolutely 1,000% this is the right move because once again I
02:35don't it's not even talking down to people like you never played the game
02:38forget about playing the game here let's just go and I use this anomaly a few
02:41times last week Ben or analogy I should say if you're having to catch in the
02:45backyard we all have that frame where you stand 15 20 yards away throws that
02:48perfect spot right at your chest every single time easy catch back and forth
02:52then you have the friend that throws one at your feet throws one at your knees
02:55and then throws one in the trees you gotta go chase it down it's like I don't
02:58feel like having a catch anymore well Donny why are you telling the story look
03:01at George Pickens he didn't feel like having that catch anymore with Justin
03:05Fields because he couldn't get him the football every once in a while yes the
03:09ball would come to George Pickens but when you're a wide receiver in an
03:12offense that you're running you're out based on timing and understanding the
03:16minute hot hot hike happens and you take three steps and you're in the
03:19middle of your rack on like I'm probably not getting this football I don't even
03:22feel like running this route we've all been there as wide receivers then you
03:26get Russell Wilson he say hold on now I'm gonna run a route one-on-one he's
03:30gonna throw a pillow 40 yards downfield that gives me a chance to out jump this
03:35DB which I know I can do time and time again George Pickens five catches 111
03:40one touchdown multiple pass interferences against the entire field
03:44it opens up and you might even say well Donny Najee Harris had 21 for 102 that's
03:48exactly what happens when your entire playbook is available to your offense
03:52you move the football the Jets came in with a top-ten defense the Steelers
03:56dropped 37 points on that's not a coincidence Justin Fields wasn't going
04:00to do that Mike Tomlin thank you for seeing the
04:02bigger picture winning regular season games as opposed to what you heard on
04:06the telecast he wants to win a Super Bowl the only way to have any chance of
04:10winning the Super Bowl was Russell Wilson not Justin Fields perfect end the
04:15story love the way the game played out I was right they were wrong how about that
