Seem to recall a quarterback that improved through practice. He's playing for the Titans

[victorsimmons]

Daily shot double shots Ramon Foster show offense defense special teams your hitting on all three cylinders DK

[JOSHLOCO]

McCormick had me when he did the double barrel finger guns. He's having fun

[gregiskat]

ALL your shots are the best content anywhere. Justin & Russ are both such good dudes, I hope Justin gets to learn from Russ and ends up being way better because of it

[jayvincent]

The only difference that I saw was those punt/passes that Russ threw. Fields tends to throw low flying rockets. When Fields learns to settle down he'll have the chance to be really special.

[Cardel]

DK, I admit that I was and still am a big supporter of J. Fields. I too feel like he would progress better with actual starting reps but don't you feel like seeing Russ perform at a high level and operating the offense as he did in the Jets game gives Fields more information to grow too? I would imagine him just sitting in the film room with Russ watching that game has to be valuable.

[debrasedok]

I really enjoy hearing about how a player makes a difference helping teammates to get better by just being verbal to snap them into a better mindset in game!!

[cmugnolo]

Your expertise and pin point accurate information and analysis with zero fluff and supposition is so appreciated!!

[chadtiedeman]

Do jaylen warren is very under rated as a pass blocker he picks up the blitz better than Naja

[tmcdowell]

Able to do, meant to do. When Wilson got right, it looked like he meant to do. I like that in a QB.

[donmiguel]

I don't get it why it is such a difficult thing to understand that Russ touch balls are a unique skill of immense value no other QB in the NFL in the last decade had. It is way more difficult to pass a ball in time and with placement in Russ touch ball manner then just with a straight laser. Tomlin understands the value and the receiver benefitting by making plays understand it too. But most people don't get it and are cheering athleticism instead, even people which should it know better. Russ passing genius is widely underrated and I hope, this season he will win the super bowl and finally get the credit he deserves with the MVP award.

I think Fields can learn a lot from watching how Russ prepares each week, how he communicates with the team, making changes at the line, etc. As you said, Fields has always been the guy. I think learning from someone of Russ' caliber is the missing piece in his development.

[robertdhenderson]

I think The Steelers didn't allow Fields to go deep often.
Russell's throws were behind his receivers but at least he gave Wr & TE a shot

[terrywbreedlove]

I am very happy with this Line. Considering the youth and Injuries. I think they are coming along very well.

[xTheJoexRF]

This was the video I have been waiting for... Talk about these lineman... I have always thought, going back to 2 seasons again that Dan Moore was a B- guy... That's not bad, it's not GREAT, but it's ok, and right now, we are loving that B- because it has been consistent. McCormick, McCormick...man, give that guys another season and we have potentially a great STEELERS lineman in Mason. I mean that guy has a v12 in his chest the way he just goes and goes and goes... Great video today DK

If I was Justin I’d be trying to learn everything I can from Russel I mean everything … and if I was Mike T I’d be telling Justin make sure you learn everything from Russel that you can this year because next year this is your job if you show me you can learn some things and keep growing

[jerryyeager]

I want to see Arthur Smith cook up a winning scheme and Russell Wilson remind use of what he can do, pass and run the ball and run some more. Thank you DK, your the best.

I think the biggest thing Russ provided last week is that he lets us evaluate all the offensive weapons more accurately. Russ didn’t throw perfect passes to GP, but he gave us the chance to see GP do freakish stuff. That allowed Najee to run in situations where there weren’t 9 guys stacked in the box. We saw Pat’s incredible hands. We all knew these guys were good, but I think we got to see the whole offense for what it CAN be when they’re given the opportunity.

[nolashawn]

RE 2 QB’s future: just enjoy THIS season. Russ and Justin don’t appear too worried about which one’s starting; maybe we shouldn’t overthink it. Fields remains one snap away from playing; and will continue to benefit from Russ’ mentorship.

[ricklove]

Giants have those monsters yes and the are a top 10 pass D because that pressure. They are at the bottom of the league in Run D. You can get to the edge. CP and Warren should see alot of touches
