00:00Mike, your thoughts on, you know, the Jets got their coach fired, Aaron Rodgers runs

00:10the franchise.

00:11Then they went out and got his best friend today in a deal for Adams.

00:16And now I got to listen to this all week as they gear up to play my and your Steelers

00:21Sunday night in Pittsburgh.

00:23What could be worse?

00:24Yeah.

00:25And not only that, I mean, there are a lot of people in Pittsburgh who are upset that

00:28the Steelers were not able to get Devontae Adams, but I think Adams had a lot of input

00:33on that.

00:34If he had a choice between going to the Steelers to play for like to play with who knows who

00:41or go to New York and play with the guy who threw him a million touchdowns.

00:44I don't think that was really much of a competition.

00:46The Steelers might have had to go up to offering a first round pick or something like that.

00:50They were not doing that.

00:52So that was a part of the issue.

00:53And now you have the Steelers deciding, are they trying to throw a curveball at the Jets

00:58or they really seriously considering removing Justin Fields from the lineup and inserting

01:03Russell Wilson?

01:05It's that Tom Pellicero from the NFL Network says they have made the decision and that

01:10they're going to go with with with Russ and I can see.

01:16So a lot of reasons for the move Fields is play on Saturday in Vegas was much shakier

01:23than the outcome indicated and his stats indicated.

01:27He had two plays that were near turnovers that were all on him.

01:31A terrible interception that was wiped out by a roughing the passer penalty and then

01:36a foolish sideways pass that was technically a backwards pass that was he nearly ripped

01:42Jalen Warren's arm off and Warren fortunately was able to recover from that and go recover

01:49from the football in order to protect a scoring drive.

01:52So I can see why they're thinking about it.

01:54I'm surprised that they're not going to give Fields another opportunity and then remove

01:59him if he's performing poorly.
