Russell Wilson: Why Pittsburgh & Mike Tomlin is the ideal combo for the QB

Russsell Wilson finds a new home and Pittsburgh gets a steal signing the QB for a 1 year deal. With several off-season moves to bolster the defense and find leadership on offense, Steelers are elevating to compete in the AFC North, but will it be enough? Ryan Clark, Fred Taylor and Channing Crowder talk why this doesn’t make them the AFC North favorite but is the perfect landing place for Wilson.

[@holmesketrick7]

Russ is sounding like a true Steeler. I honestly haven't been this excited In a long time. #HereWeGO

[@SamanthaVJones]

Please stop repeating the terms "lame, corny, square" out of any descriptions regarding Russ Wilson. It sounds silly. It sounded silly when Channing first said it. Blk men are not a monolith. Wilson is a very good QB and appears to be an even better man, father, and husband who should be given the chance to play with a decent team.

[@spider16707]

You can be a good man, good father, good teammate, etc and still be lame, corny, and/or square. Being a good person doesn’t make you a square and being a square doesn’t make you a good person. If you’re happy with yourself and you’re lame, square, etc then oh well who cares.

[@jowga]

My kids call me these names it's all good though with God's blessings they know this corny lame navy dad has and is taking care of them.

[@user-vg7sk2fo8o]

All true..but he is corny though.lol

[@GeeDee-yj7yd]

For real our culture messed up ant man don’t get it twisted I love his game but he had a baby on his girlfriend and after the initial ruckus you ain’t heard nutn else about. Russ a family man and does things in the community don’t get in trouble and for what it’s worth in Seattle his friends/teammates knew his teammate golden Tate was messing with his first wife and said nutn just laughed I’d stay to my self too…judge him by wins and losses everything off the field ain’t nobody business

[@Cardel34]

Yea I don’t think it’s that serious. I think I’m a decent looking guy, I’m pretty tough but I’m corny af too. So what. It’s a description of your personality not so much your character which I feel are two separate things

Steelers are building a winner 🏆

[@TheeEgyptianQueen]

🖤💛Woooow....after watching this video, Russ may fall in love with the Pittsburgh Steelers and the organization 💛🖤

[@tracysharp1361]

I hope he has a good year and fall in love with the Steelers because I'm sure the Steelers have fallen in love with him if that happens I'm looking for him to get a super the next year. Russ was a good deal for the Pittsburgh a virtual steal.

[@tracysharp1361]

​​@@stlrecon2475Ruess is already in love with the Steelers! It would be wonderful if he could stay here and win a championship. That would be awesome!

[@willmick8558]

It feels like the media is tryna black/white ball Russ out of the League.RC and Fred are two of the few who actually has said something positive about Russ.

HERE WE GO!!!

Well said Ryan Clarke

[@James-yf7vy]

Fred/Channing and Ryan, I love the fact that you guys are now doing "The Pivot Podcast" clips. You all will most definitely get more eyes on you all simply because a lot more people will be able to watch/listen to your segments were a lot of us didn't have time to listen to the whole Podcast episode for various reasons, so thanks again for doing this...much💙my brothers💪🏽✌🏽

As a longtime season ticket holder, I can speak for Steelers Nation. We want Mike Tomlin to go out with two in a row Superbowls!

[@neilbrucker5985]

If he wins he will be loved if he loses he will get hate. That is how PGH is and I'm from here.

[@michaelbooth4998]

The Steelers have a much much stronger team now. PLASMA WELDING SUPER BOWL '24. Rings all around y'all. Nay sayers get back!!! This is going to be a blast.

[@EW-gv5ov]

Ya we’ve been “walking in “ goin 9-8 for a while now . Don’t forget, Russ was blessed with a great Defense in Seattle . ……, New Offense just needs to put the ball in the zone …. Help this Defense catch a breath for once .

[@bklynbatallday104]

The Steelers are in a Great situation I myself is very happy with the Steelers QB room there are no clouds in the Burgh

[@earlismarks7108]

Those terms were being put out there specically relating to Russ..the pivot guy's did make it up or pull those terms out of thin air...hopefully Russ has a bounce back season, I am pulling for this guy, God bless him...👌🏾💯

[@beebbeec280]

Shit so cringe how they describe personality traits of Russ because he’s not a douchebag.

[@SamsP.O.V-hd7rb]

Exactly! People don’t like him because he is considered too corny. SMH

He is more successful in life & Football..than 98 or 99 percent…of the people that are saying this.

Kenny Pickett is gone…..off to Philly so it is just Russ for us right now🖤💛🖤💛🖤💛🖤💛

[@michaelbooth4998]

IS THAT OFFICIAL?

[@Ahtaht227]

What a difference a day makes!! We got Justin Fields who will be our Franchise QB I’m hoping he and Russ have chemistry. Justin and George are friends… this is going to be a lit season I can’t wait…

[@stanrock8015]

I was hoping Pickett could pull it off. Now it’s over I can admit this is best direction. Pickett wasn’t the answer

[@LeoDunsonMinistries]

I haven’t heard no one say it yet but the best thing for Russ is for someone else to be the loudest in the room, literally and figuratively Tomlin is the leader of the team and Russ can be corny in the corner and run the plays sent to him

[@vegastjg]

No more Kenny to deal with either.

[@davidlacaze5859]

Really, I think they loose and Tomlin gets fired after the season.

[@kongmlee92]

That Steeler Defense of players were wasting away. TJ, Cam, Minka. They need a qb to win now.

[@jowga]

RC I actually think they're a whole lot alike Tomlin the technician of coaching men to be better players and be better people as themselves Russell Wilson is like a technician of being a quarterback mutch like a Peyton Manning or andrew luck

[@jmighty33zero]

I like RC but got damn does everything have to be about race? Literally that point about Tomlin had zero to do with the conversation that was being had

[@Ahtaht227]

I think maybe be sympathetic to what he’s saying… black men in the NFL have rarely gotten the respect they deserve. Mike Tomlin has been the longest reigning black head coach in the NFL. The Rooney rule exists for a reason. Everything isn’t about race yet everything is when you’re black. I have never seen a coach disrespect a QB like Denver did Russ on natl tv. You think that would have happened if he was white? I doubt it since we’ve only seen it w/ a white coach and a black QB. What I love about the Steelers is the same way I love Najee Harris I have the same love for TJ! I’m rooting for 🖤💛💛🖤💛💛 all day! I was born loving this franchise!

[@jmighty33zero]

@@Ahtaht227 I get what you're saying and I hear you and those conversations are very important to have. But not every situation that a black person is mistreated disrespected or not given the respect they should get is because they are black and maybe if that thinking stopped. Then maybe they could overcome some of their circumstances because bad things, disrespect, undeserved credit all happen to white people too and they don't go around saying it's because they're white. White QBs have been getting benched for decades. Lamar's rookie year they were taking snaps away from Flacco in the middle of games making him stand on the sidelines to watch Lamar run around.

[@russobenstine851]

Russ is taking Steelers too history winning number7

[@TheeEgyptianQueen]

They don't care if Kenny's little feelings are hurt. They're trying to win !! This is just a one year deal. Kenny can learn from this so it can be a positive thing for him.

[@shannonschmidt7972]

Kenny's gone!!!

[@TheeEgyptianQueen]

@shannonschmidt7972 I knoooooooow ! He mentally and emotionally wouldn't of been about to compete with Russ....Hell, physically either! 😅 I wish him well in Philly as a backup..

[@sharronward4748]

You guys called Russ corny & lame all last season now that he is a Steeler you’re changing it up. It made you all look very small calling a good man like Russ negative names & it revealed who you truly are as men. When people show you who they are believe them (Mayo Angelou).

[@jacobmeleciox8707]

How about instead of corny, call him an athlete

[@superzero4250]

Mike Tomlin is a man who knows how to coach players and men in an effective manner that produces playoff results and champions, regardless of who he plays. Forging his own style of Coaching… Sean Payton is someone who only knows a system, and hoping it works again, because it worked for him once in seventeen seasons, while trying to emulate a Parcels style of coaching… 🤔

[@double-h-farms]

I think your going to see the bad version of Russ, Tomlin is way to liberal as a coach and let's players be what they want to be, no discipline, no hard-nose pushing to be great and players slack off cause he's to soft producing good results not great ones

[@thatdude5315]

Sad that you want him to be a thug to respect him.

[@MrJohnnyLighting]

Russ the black captain America 😂😂😂😂😂

[@utah2nyc250]

What tomlin plans? The same as always destroyed what bill cowher build . And mediocre team .

this is not steelers footballl...steelers get their QB's through the draft. not someone else's reject...wilson dont care..he can get hurt first day of season (like aaron rodgers last year) and still get 39 mill from denver....steelers have no other QB's...wrong to treat mason and kenny like that....the rooneys are really falling apart as owners...if Dan was still there this wouldnt happen...shame on you pittsburgh..fan since 1971...bad football management now...hope they still win but wouldnt be suprised if this year tomlin goes under 500.....sad days for Pittsburgh...tomlin, sullivan, and the pirates manager all need to go....

[@johnfitzkee3448]

Mike Tomlin sucks !!! The only reason he when to the super bowl was BILL COWHER !!! But don't worry Russ Wilson will get hurt fields who's half the QB of Kenny. We seen this shit show with kordell Stewart. Tomlin must think he's coaching college football. We will finish late .😢 The only good thing tickles will be cheaper all we need is paper bags for our heads.
