    Don’t know about the locker room but lots of other people are questioning it.

    I imagine if there isn’t a big improvement in these next two games he may switch back to Fields after the bye.

    Watching Rich Eisen yesterday, his guest was Dulac. Dulac said Fields wasn’t allowed to throw to the MOF, in which we knew, but also said Fields wasn’t allowed to audible but could check down.
    Sucks when you have a qb that isn’t allowed to audible.

    The defense had alot to do with the TDs. The field position they were giving the offense was stellar.

    I feel like if old flacco can play at 40 Wilson will be just fine.

    Except they did not guarantee him the starting job

    They told him he would get first team reps in the beginning of training and there would be competition (pole position)

    And here we are apparently he won the competition in training

    To bad Kenny ran from the competition he might have saved his career

    I was following a video/chat feed on a YT channel. The steelers made a 1st down and the chat erupted, it felt like what you just said, I thought Myron Cope must be crapping in his grave if he knew we had fallen so far, lol.

    Hopefully Wilson quells the drama. I hate it. That's all you hear about. I listen to 93.7 the Fan on Audacy through Amazon. The shows are riddled ad nauseam. So much I shut them off. The only one is Paul Alexander who has solid takes on the Steelers.

    Can't wait for tonight

    Russell Wilson went to the Giants first and left because they wouldn't guarantee him the starting job. Pittsburgh guaranteed Russell the starting job, and when they told Kenny this he then demanded a trade.

    The whole pole position thing started later when they traded for Justin Fields.

    No, Pickett was also told Wilson would be in the poles position and thats when Pickett figured he was losing his starting job because as the starter he should have been the one. He demanded a trade after that. I remember because I had never heard that terminology before then about “poles position”.

    I don't believe this. I have seen Fields change from a run to a pass, and opposite. Not like every play, but I've seen it. Maybe they don't allow it a lot, but it has been done. I've even pointed it out during game day threads.

    Pole position

    In motor sports

    The first position at the start of the race

    Guarantees nothing

    Russ can take snaps from under Center.

    I've heard Fields will be getting some snaps tonight as well, Taysom Hill style.

    It was pretty simple actually. One Example Najee was Standing behind Fields in a one back set. The center relayed something to Fields....Fields made hand signals, and called out. The TE moved in, and Najee went out wide. It's not really difficult to see that it was changed. :shrug:

    Actually, having pole position guarantees starting at the head of field at the beginning of the race (not practice, not the day before, not warm ups, but having starting first place of the race itself).

    I'm sure political Tomlin can spin "pole position" to whatever suits his fancy... but in car racing, it means guaranteed starting position of the actual race.

    I hear you. Dulac is the guy who said Russell Wilson wouldn't come here, or Fields. Dulac has been wrong a lot lately. Just ask @Formerscribe@Formerscribe

    That doesnt mean it was changed from a pass play to a running play or vice versa :lolol:
