Can Russell Wilson keep Fields off the field? | Kurt Warner Breaks Down the Steelers Game Tape

[@mdaniel444]

Russell Wilson's deep throws were always a threat in Seattle. It scares defenses and keeps them honest. He needs to get that courage back and let it rip again

[@RagnarokCo]

It's usually the opposite. You have to scare them with the run or screens, play actions, etc, then it opens up the deep ball.

[@natetewkesbury]

*The Arthur Smith Offense can be scary. It's much like the Shannahan/McVay system with more emphasis on physicality and usage of the TEs. In Tennessee as the OC Arthur Smith led the Titans with Tannehill at QB to a Top5 Offense in 2019 an 2020. That team had AJ Brown at WR. The Steelers have George Pickens. Very similar players. He also had Henry at RB and no Najee Harris is not Derek Henry, but they also have RB Jaylen Warren who is a quick, explosive, back with over 700 rush yards on 5.2 ypc, and over 60 receptions in passing game. But the Titans OC did not have a TE like Pat Frieremuth, or that Steeler Defense with Watt, Highsmith, Queen, Minka, and Cam Heyward. Nor would anyone mistake Ryan Tannehill for Russell Wilson. That Steelers team is dangerous and very talented. I know this considering I'm a Joe Burrow Bengals fan. Never fails*

I like the positive light this video shines on Russ. My concern is that his “decisiveness” seems more like taking the easy way out. Often his quick throws are just the underneath check downs that are open before the play has a chance to even develop. Defenses will give you that all day long.

That play at 1:35 the defender beat a dbl team. Russ would at least had a chance to take off.

[@Rayceemon]

To start the season, it's good enough if Russell Wilson takes the quick easy throws until the young OLine improves their pass blocking. He isn't getting any time to scan the field, yet - but he will. There's a lot of talent on that Oline once they get healthy and start working together. Till then, just run the ball more often. What's more important is fewer three-and- outs so the D remains fresh and can do their good work. The flashy stuff will come later as the season goes on.

He’s taking what the defense and the O-Line gives him. He’s substituting better vision for leg power. Despite Sean Payton trying to tank, Russ learned something from him.

Issues I see with RW. 1. Both in and out of the pocket he is not as mobile as once was. That used to buy him time in making his progressions. 2. He is only 5’11” and cannot see over the lineman. And being less mobile, he can’t move around and use throwing lanes to see downfield. I think that’s why he’s constantly checking off quickly. 3. Doesn’t have the arm strength he once did and he is not a really a threat to run anymore. Just being short and not mobile is a bad combination to have with a young offensive line. Really starting to think JF is the best option for the Steelers right now.

I think his arm strength hasn't dipped much. Maybe his velocity suffered a bit but he still has a 60+ yard range. He can still take those deep shots, he just hasn't taken much in this preseason.

Justin Fields is and will likely always be garbage at QB. There is no good option this season at the position.

Wow! did you have to be so harsh. Tomlin took the Steelers to 2 Super bowls and won one of them in my book that's a pretty damn successful coaching career. Regardless of some thinking that he inherited a Bill Cowher well developed team, Tomlin still had to go out there under all that pressure and perform as a head coach in hard fought seasons with many egos and in a tough division to boot and he still got them to the big game twice. There have been many coaches that have had a lot of talent around them that they didn't necessarily develop take Dallas for instance they have had a lot of talented players and coaches but haven't been to a Super bowl since 1995.

Russell Wilson is four years away from a complete good season Steelers waste the first half of the season on Russell Wilson then they waste the second half of the season after the bench

[@Jodyrides]

5 and 12… The Steelers have a new cook, three new quarterbacks, arguably the toughest schedule in the entire NFL for 2024.. I doubt that all the players even know each other’s names, yet, let alone their tendencies, abilities, and mindset.. The last eight games of the season or something I have never heard of. They play two games each with their rivals, Baltimore, Cleveland, Cincinnati, all of whom have their established quarterbacks that have been with their teams and no the system.. to finish that tall order, they have to play two teams that have recently won the Super Bowl, Philadelphia and Kansas City.. it is very possible that Pittsburgh could go winless in their last eight games of the season, especially if they have not done well in the first half of the season, their motivation may be a little lower if they are 4 and 5 through the first nine games.. we know what Russell has/had. We know what Fields is.. that means all the other teams know what their tendencies and abilities and weaknesses are. It won’t be all that difficult for opposing teams to prep the Defense four games against the Steelers… this is going to be Mike Tomlin‘s first losing season. Tom on inherited a Super Bowl team, and he did well for a few years while he had big Ben. but recently, we have a team built by Mike Tomlin, a defensive, minded coach.. I would like to see Tomelin use the gaff On Russell early in the season, and put Allen in there as QB.. Alan, who is the quarterback that most impressed me in preseason in the limited time he was given the ball.. But I know from Pittsburgh history, being a fan since the early 1970s, and living in Pittsburgh, that the owners and the coaches of the Steelers tend to stick with some players just a little too long like slash.. Kordell Stewart, Mark Malone, Cliff Stoudt.. Kenny Pickett.. Byron Leftwich ,And a few others that I can’t even remember their names. Mike Tomlin is no Bill Cowher at drafting players.. I think this is probably going to be Mike Tomlin’s last year as head coach. He will easily get a job as color analyst for one of the big networks. He’s a good talker.

Why are you always insulting Russell. You can't give a compliment without an insult thrown in . Even when you say he made the correct decision or made the the throw, you say he should have done it differently or he would have done it differently ten years. You have a clear negative opinion of Russell. You need to check yourself and yourself why.

[@NeekNasty]

I thought he was a lot nicer than he should be. He’s calling it how he sees it and clearly saying not all the bad is on him. But while taking the first read or check down may ultimately have been the best options presented to Russ, had he let the plays develop more, there may have been better options down field. I don’t think that’s wrong of Kurt to say

[@vanessaroberson3246]

I'm not interested in what you think. I'm tired of the media hate train around Russell Wilson like he's done something wrong. Russell Wilson is a black man of GOD who carries himself accordingly. The media keeps putting negative comments about Russell out because they know he won't respond. Russell could care less about kurt Warners opinion of him.

[@NeekNasty]

@@vanessaroberson3246 what does being black and a man of god have to do with anything? Get that small brain stuff outta here. I don’t care if he was a satan worshipping white man. I just want us to have a good QB

Feels like the last 4 years of Big Ben's career with the dink and dunk offense

[@davidconley3610]

I think Wilson was pretty much done when he left Seattle. Won’t take Fields long to move ahead!!

[@newfguy1826]

great analysis. Unfortunately, Russel Wilson is no longer an NFL caliber QB.

[@SychoMedia]

26 tds, 8 ints?

[@Mhantrax]

​​@@SychoMediaAnd what was the end result? Would have been an absolutely tragic record that year if the defense didn't absolutely carry the team for 5 games. I know, I watched every game. Russ was a liability because he can't keep the offense on track. In fact, it almost seems like he was cultivating a quality statistical line instead of learning how to win. You know, like Kurt talked about how he sought a completion over ACTUALLY reading the play and making an organic decision. Kurt is brilliant in his breakdown, and also a great teacher. But he will never, ever make it sound like he is trashing a player. But after watching his breakdown of the Broncos 5th game last year, then a later breakdown, it was undeniable. Russel Wilson can't read and react very well and subsequently negates quality play calling because he can't execute them. The throw to right WR when the read would be Pickett in the slant, not letting the play develop is Kurt "trashing," Wilson's play in his (Kurt's) gracious and super kind style. If you understand football, and understand who Kurt Warner is, then this video is damning to Russel Wilson. Especially since this is pretty much the same thing we saw last year. If he was saying these things about a rookie, no problem. But Russel is nearing retirement. Do you really expect him to suddenly develop brand new skills?

[@richstafford1245]

Truthful non emotional breakdown of a player. Very rare in the hot take industry of sports entertainment. I would say go to Fields if you are going to run read option heavy offense Ala Lamar Jackson first three or four years. Otherwise you are better off with even Denver version of Russ. Fields can’t even hit check downs. He has a strong arm and no accuracy. He is literally the pitcher that can throw triple digits and can’t throw strikes. Unless he’s going to run 80 percent of the time it’s a hard no on fields…

[@joebrown9204]

Bash Russell that's what everybody is doing this commentator is stupid , the bills had their starters on the field and the steelers o line was horrible it's only preseason why would Russ try to force a play when he can see that his o line needs an adjustment. Their is no need to get hurt.

[@RussellAbbott-y6t]

Whow, you people are so harsh give the poor guy a chance.

[@arkhamknight_21]

i guess it seems like hes sorta programmed to take the checkdowns or read the play quickly and that sean peyton taught him just throw it to nearest reciever in way to avoid taking so many sacks etc in a sense sean peyton was trying to tell russ dont do whats naturally for you and hold on the ball for a tick longer just quick simple reads and maybe now he doesnt want to get hit as much as he did in denver because of the o line wasnt fully healthy or not really good and the running game in denver wasnt really there either. and he only trusted one reciver which was court sutton when he was there. and i guess it seems like he cant trust his gut sometimes and just wants the ball out so fast before the play either developes, but i hope he does well in pitsburg though love russell no matter. @kurtwarnerxqbconfidental

[@DanielFolsom]

I do think we'll see a lot of quick throws in Denver with Bo Nix-I mean that's exactly what Bo Nix did in college-but I don't think Payton caused the shift in Russell. Keep in mind, Payton obviously hated Russell by the end. I think RW wanted to become a true pocket passer in order to protect his body, which meant not only that he wouldn't scramble as often, but also he'd get rid of the ball quicker rather than run out of the pocket and make a throw. He's never been a great anticipation guy, so, before, extending the play meant he could see a guy open and then throw it. But, now that he can't/doesn't want to do that as often, he's getting sacked more ... and because he's gotten sacked more, he's started getting rid of it very quickly. That said, I don't think he's at a Derek Carr level of "get it to the check down as the first read"

[@arkhamknight_21]

@@DanielFolsom yeah true i guess it just seemed sean peyton was just calling simple plays because russ wouldnt/cant scramble out the pocket like he used too because he didnt want get hit as often, and but also it just seemd russ's play style never really matched peytons offense style because in the end it seemed russ eiither wanted to become pocket passer so he would take less hits and peyton tried to make plays that helped but i think in the end they should have never been together in my opinon because it seemed like peyton had one way and russ another but they could never meet in the middle.

[@natetewkesbury]

*Worst possible pair with both the QB Wilson, an Coach Payton. But let's not forget that the Broncos team had a very much below average roster, and a Bottom5 OLine. Russ has not been protected at all these last few years. Throw in zero threat of a run game and it's all disaster. Hard to win under the circumstances but Wilson had the Broncos at 7-7 record and in the playoffs race with Top10 stats across the board by seasons end. Now imagine the QB with the Steelers OC Arthur Smith and that vaunted Steeler Defense*

[@arkhamknight_21]

@@natetewkesbury yeah i also think now he at least has more offensive weapons and a running game and a good defense now so i think the run game will help russ for sure
