00:00Here is Mike Tomlin for you, who you love.
00:06Mike Tomlin loves you, too.
00:08Here's Mike afterwards.
00:09Of course, with the win, 18-10, the topics are always going to be quarterbacks with Mike
00:14because Justin Fields did get himself a win.
00:16But what happens if Wilson's healthy for next week?
00:19Mike wasn't really getting into a lot of that, but he said Fields played well.
00:22Really appreciative of his efforts and his play, certainly.
00:26What happened in pregame?
00:27Can you take us through that decision-making process?
00:30Was Russ even a consideration?
00:32It's really not a long, drawn-out process.
00:35I'd rather deal with short-term misery, to be quite honest with you.
00:38We're in week one.
00:40There's a lot of ball out in front of us.
00:42I just thought it was appropriate to put the healthy guys on the field.
00:44I felt really good about both quarterbacks.
00:46I was very clear to you guys when I named Russ the starter how comfortable I was with both quarterbacks.
00:52And so if that is true, why not be really comfortable with playing Justin under the circumstances
00:57with Russ being in less than ideal physical shape?
01:00And so that was a thought process.
01:01It wasn't a lot of discussion.
01:03Russ was very supportive of the day, and that was appreciated.
01:05But we went with Justin.
01:06Man, I'm glad we got two real capable quarterbacks, as I've mentioned before.
01:11Listen, you have to play who is healthy.
01:14The one that is healthy is the guy that goes.
01:16They have both of them.
01:17One guy's an angle breaker.
01:19The other guy is steady as she goes.
01:22I guess, like I won't deny, I think Russell Wilson throws the ball better than Justin Fields.
01:30But Justin Fields can make plays that Russ Wilson just simply cannot nor will he ever make.
01:36Okay?
01:37One guy is strictly a pocket passer, and the other, he cannot run anymore, Russell Wilson.
01:44Who are you kidding?
01:45And then Justin Fields can do both.
01:49One of them he does poorly, but the other one he does great.
01:52He runs the ball.
01:53He's dangerous.
01:54I mean, I think he's the most dangerous.
01:56Who's better than him running the football?
01:59Like, honestly, Josh Allen maybe?
02:01That's about it.
02:02Who else?
