Steelers cut their punter oh man Steelers have been in the news a lot here in the last two days shefer obviously breaks the news yesterday that maybe pittburg is interested in Justin Fields they’re talking about a veteran quarterback a lot of people said tanah Hill maybe going to Pittsburgh this past
Weekend then shefer said yesterday look for fields to maybe find his way to Pittsburgh with Ry Smith becoming the offense coordinator there whenever if Arty Smith stayed in Atlanta Justin Fields was going to be linked to Atlanta so for some reason there’s people thinking that Justin fields and Ry Smith
Are potentially a match made heav together for an offense and I think a lot of Pittsburgh Steelers fans say I’m not against that no I don’t hate it cut the punter uh yesterday as well Mak some moves around the roster Presley Harvin obviously is going to find a home around
The NFL I think being in Pittsburgh’s tough I think that is a tough place to punt I don’t know if anybody out just everywhere you play is terrible so like everywhere you play is terrible in Pittsburgh is terrible and the fans will boo you at like they turned on on
Presley pretty quickly and he he deserved it I mean he was he was ranked near the dead last in punters the last few years on in pretty much everything so he kind of deserved it but yes it is a tough place to kick it’s a very tough place to punt wouldn’t want
To do it Mitch burer back in the day I believe punted there yeah our guy Josh uh oh Josh Miller Chris gardocki Chris yeah there’s been punters throughout the years that have been able to stick around but that was back in the day no offense to those guys but people weren’t
Just averaging like 50 yards a punt and there isn’t like bombers all over the place obviously as techniques evolve people get better at things and in Pittsburgh it’s not a fun place I did see though and after watching his film and how he punts it’s like Mata is a guy
That would be able to potentially handle the AFC North stadiums you have to have a very strong leg just like Presley Harvin did I assume Presley Harvin will go to the lab he’ll get better he’ll end up somewhere else just like most punters do that end up getting cut from a team
And he’ll be on to bigger and better things hopefully for him and I like I’m a big fan of his I mean he’s signed his helmet right over here so obvious obvously it’s a bummer anytime somebody loses a job but like the punt God obviously been through a lot and uh he’s
Been cleared of charges and he has not been back in the NFL it’s like maybe the Pittsburgh Steelers are a place to pick him up and maybe we got a little punter play yeah he was a strong uh fan favorite on Twitter yesterday as far of
Who they should go after him and him and Tory Taylor Just because that’s the only College uh kicker that or punter that anyone knows so those names were being thrown out there a lot yesterday it was great though they wasted no time okay they after the Super Bowl it’s time to
Go it’s the next season they cut him they let go Mitch ches Okafor who was was a tackle that that didn’t plan out they created a bunch of cap space so like it’s like hey we’re doing things and I heard Mason Rudolph too also Mason uh it’s rumored that he wants a fresh
Start somewhere which So trabis Fresh Start Mason Rudolph Fresh Start these two quarterbacks go to Pittsburgh and you know what we need to take breather go somewhere else which makes sense for Mason because you know it has been a very up and down career for him there
And with the with the Steelers fans but like it’s good because I love what Omar Khan’s do in GM of the Pittsburgh Steelers because the last few years and he is a Hall of Famer and he was awesome in a lot of great years but the last few
Years that Kevin Colbert was there didn’t make a ton of great moves and it’s like Omar’s coming in and kind of trying to change the Vibes and kind of change what was going on there and it’s it’s awesome it’s nice to see a fresh a fresh start because that’s what that’s
Kind of what needed right now yeah Pittsburgh Steelers are trying to turn over a new page how about the New England Patriots you guys going to make any moves what the hell you got going on oh we’re going to make plenty of moves you got Maad dud trying to find you guys
A quarterback right before the combine Mac a genius is in the lab he’s got old haircut new haircut uh it doesn’t matter there’s no way he still got that slick back I hope he he was good with the mushroom cut when he went slick back he was no
Goodus I want no hairs on his body the only hairs I want activated in his body should be inside his brain and they’re neuro hairs okay and he needs to be in he needs to be inside the building watching jayen Daniels film Caleb Williams film Drake May film and that’s
It and after that I don’t want to see or hear about doofus until the draft but dra may already say we’re going to spend money probably going to bring in either Pitman T Higgins Calvin Ridley auk because he doesn’t want to be in Sam FR word on the street well I mean they’re
Going to get that figured out I don’t know not today in this moment right now they don’t have it figured out okay so the New England Patriots he’s on the table Justin Fields is going the Pittsburgh Steelers Adam Sheffer said that yesterday pretty much said Shey said
Tomwin is a big fan correct yes tomlin’s a big fan obviously Arty Smith has been linked to uh Justin fields in the past whenever he was at Atlanta I wonder if there’s just a bunch of smoke behind the scenes has already Smith had a couple cocktails at place be like I love Justin
Fields I absolutely love Justin Fields just like what happened with Harbaugh at the funeral chitchatting about Justin Herbert with Mike Greenberg has that been why they’ve been linked together I always thought the AR Smith and and Justin Fields link was because people saw that he could potentially fit in
That offense and then also that he was from Atlanta I thought it was just kind of a HomeTown thing and and cheffy said that yesterday about Mike Tomlin and Justin Fields but then like this is not a this is not a Steelers move this is not something they
Would normally do and and Rooney came out in his n of season press conference and said uh don’t be or it would be surprising if they did make headlines with a quarterback oh so Russell Wilson who’s also potentially being linked to Pittsburgh probably not yeah most of
These are probably not this is the off season yep everybody’s getting linked to every I mean I mean if if Mason’s gone and Mitch is gone you’re going to have to you can’t just have one quarterback going in the next year and you’re not going to bring in a bunch of slap dicks
Either so you know it’s it’s going to be interesting yeah I’m excited to see what the Pittsburgh Steelers do because Steelers fans not thrilled about where they are dbud not at all and obviously the biggest question mark there at least for me is still the quarterback and you
Got can you pick it coming back but I think you know I like Justin Fields I I think the Bears should keep him but I think at this point it’s a forgone conclusion they’re going to trade him and draft most likely it does feel like that’s where we are at has anybody from
The Bears alluded to that no it was the the whole report was about how po they were just Gathering as much information right now before figuring out lock room has behind Fields the whole time then the combine you know that’s when all the conversation probably hey we have some
Big news potentially our combine potentially potentially potentially we don’t know but we think so found out yesterday that it is here in a couple weeks yeah found out it is directly in the middle of when we decide to take the once a year break everything is
Happening in our city should have done a little more research sue us don’t actually but we’re going to be cooking in there we believe we believe we’re going to be cooking in there cuz all of us are going to be back and at that point those breaks I get like 3 days in
And I get real antsy yeah I have a feeling uh this year’s breaks going to be a little different after the season we had you think so I think I think maybe for me at least I know I know it will be but I maybe you guys maybe you guys will be the
Same combine though is when all the drama and all the comes out AJ now you want number five business happens sorry to cut up we know that’s when everything happens with the agents with the scouts with the GM that’s when they go talk that’s when they have these
Meetings and when like the all of the work gets done I feel like and those top five picks right there have a lot of power whenever they’re walking around Indianapolis because there’s a lot of franchises that are willing to do some absurd things to potentially move up the
Carolina Panthers did it just last year a lot of people forget Chicago Bears had number one overall pick last year they earned it they were the worst team in all of football they said you know what we suck let’s get the number one overall pick Carolina Panthers said we got you
Traded a bunch away to get up there now the Carolina pan earned their way into the number one pick and now the Chicago Bears have it back but people do some absurd things around draft time to make their team better there could be a lot of action coming out of the comp absurd
And and everyone’s so far got a high rating on those top three quarterbacks which makes it even more interesting because people like to move up and then Daniel Jeremiah tweeted that expect a lot of teams to try to move up because um teams are not happy with next year’s
Quarterback draft class so that they want to go get their quarterback this year I you know what’s real mhm DJ wouldn’t lie to us no I I believe move sticks is the guy he is and he said this two years ago during the uh bigger draft with all quarterbacks and it was Kenny
Pickets was the only first round pick is that that’s why guys tra traded up in the year Before

I hope the Steelers don't do such a foolish move I watched him play for the Bears he sucked for them and he will suck for the Steelers if they make that mistake
We don't need Fields. Definitely need a better punter .
Field's play has improved, but he's still a turnover machine. He's Jameis Winston with wheels.
They were winning with Mason. Fields legs don't make up for the cons.
Don't want Fields. Chicago has proven that they are utterly incompetent in evaluating QB talent.
Fields is going to Atlanta
If I was the Pittsburgh Steelers I would trade for Justin Fields, trade Kenny Pickett and sign Ryan Tannehill in fridge agency!!!
Kenny Pickett is the franchise quarterback!! LOL. Next Tomlin will say Pickett will be in the Hall of Fame after he retires!! LOL.
Fields or penix jr pls
We need fields, the new meta is a QB with running threat and a strong running backfield that opens up the passing threat, the more you run the ball. It’s a win win
I feel the Steelers are in the news for a lot of these QBs because they're actually dumb enough to do it 🙁
Good Lord no!!!!!!!
Steelers have way more issues than a QB
As a Steelers fan I hope we don’t get Justin Fields
About 2nd round and 3 round pick for Justin fields
The reason why we are trading for Justin Fields because Mike Tomlin likes Justin fields and Tomlin likes Ohio State players
SteelerNation wants that 7th Lombardi Trophy 🏆 ASAP
How is punting in one place different than punting in any other? Lol😂. The strategy is always the same: try to have use him as few times as possible.
Pat McAfee is def on Adderall
Can't believe this team gets any attention. They're as relevant in today's NFL as.. Well, the Bears
You can have Justin Fields Pittsburgh we in Chicago or sick of them. I want to go back to triangle white quarterback like Drake May. He's more cerebral like Brady there. I said it deal with it. It's called the truth
They're also talking abt Russell Wilson! No thanks, could just resign Mitch if we want a bum
Here's a scenario for yinz: Harbaugh trades Herbert to Pittsburgh for Pickett and a 1st round pick, which he then uses to trade to Chicago for the 1st overall pick and takes McCarthy………🤷♂️
The Bears are trash. The foundation of a team everybody says as a quarterback, so you draft a quarterback before providing talent around him. Which will create a delay in his development. When you start to get quality players around him and you see his performance increases, you don’t look at the fact that you have multiple holes on your team and you need draft picks. Do you think just because of nice quarterback is coming in the draft that is going to change the outcome of your team. the Bears have not been anything good for a long time because they have no foundation. They don’t know what they’re doing and they don’t have a plan for anything that they have. That’s not gonna change if they draft Caleb is just going to continue being the same thing over and over again.
Steelers are the dumping ground for QB busts
Fields isnt a QB. Hes very athletic that's for sure. But in the NFL you need to be able to throw at a high level and Fields can't.
God help us if the Steelers give up any capital for this kid
Chicago does not want to pay fields. Pittsburgh and Tomlin can play to Fields strengths. Steelers are always relevant. Looking forward to watching this progress
Justin fields has got downsides, sure but has shown he has the ability to make plays on his own. Also, the bears have been atrocious. On a better team, Justin fields is going to win alot more games. The steelers have an elite defense, but it isn't always going to be this good. Another rebuild quarterback is going to hold them back. They need a qb that's ready to go right now and Justin fields is probably going to be a good fit. Kenny pickett isn't the guy.
Nooooooooo
No a good move but he better than what they got
Ima RAVENS FAN and I'll admit. Im tired of Lamar Choking. 👉🤕
The two smart teams that get Fields and Howell are going to show the Bears and Commies how to n run organizations. God I feel bad for these QBs who go to dumpster fires and waste 3-4 years. Just like Baker.
Pitts, all I’m asking is for a box of nachos and a beer. Take him.
Didn't we already errantly pick up a Bears cast-off QB ???!!
If I had the power, I will trade Justin Field, and I am not drafting Caleb Williams I am resending the clock with Tyson Bagent he have a two and two record two and two make the Chicago Bears a 500 team
The Steelers are ass they never deserved to make the playoffs Mike Tomlin is beyond gereatric
No one cares about the Stealers they are light years off of having a team that can compete with any NFL team
It does not matter who the Steelers QB is they will not win anything with Tomlin as the coach. It's not a hot take it's a fact backed by stats. His playoff record speaks for itself! Guess nobody told the guy the Steelers win championships not aim to finish even. Tomlin literally had zero experience to be a head coach or in the NFL in any capacity whatsoever. Tampa makes him an assistants assistant then the vikings give him a job he didn't earn after 1 yr in tampa and in his 3rd yr in the NFL period he's made the head coach of the Steelers out of the blue. He never earned his way but the problem is he isn't smart enough to keep up with modern NFL coaches and he can't control his locker room at all Pickens is just the most recent screw up. Brown & bell shall I continue… oh and don't get me started on how bad Tomlin treated cowhers players just ask Troy Hines or James Harrison they were all forced out by Tomlin plus big Ben hated Tomlin. People keep claiming players love to play for him but none of his former players even like him.
i think fields has an upside but the afc north would eat him alive…..from a bengals fan but go for it
