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.
