The Battle for Starting Quarterback Heats Up in Pittsburgh
After weeks of speculation, Russell Wilson finally took center stage in Wednesday’s practice, leading the first-team reps alongside teammates Justin Fields and Kyle Allen. This development comes on the heels of Coach Mike Tomlin’s announcement that Wilson was “in consideration” to make his first start of the season.
A Glimpse into Practice
During the open portion of practice, Wilson kicked off individual drills, followed closely by Fields and Allen. While Tomlin remained tight-lipped about the specifics of the snap distribution, he expressed satisfaction with the participation of both quarterbacks. “Both guys were full participants today, and I liked it,” he said.
The Mystery of the Starting Lineup
Despite the intense media scrutiny, Tomlin refused to disclose whether he had settled on a starter for Sunday night’s clash against the New York Jets. “Any decisions made at this point are in-house,” he maintained. This air of secrecy has only added to the intrigue surrounding the quarterback battle.
Business as Usual for the Offensive Line
According to left tackle Dan Moore Jr., the offensive line’s approach won’t be drastically altered regardless of who starts on Sunday. “We just got to focus on our execution,” he emphasized. “Keep them clean and get the ground game going.” While quarterback schemes and runs may undergo some changes, the fundamentals of the offensive line’s job remain the same.
The Stage is Set for Sunday Night
As the Steelers prepare to face off against the New York Jets, one thing is certain: the quarterback situation will be closely watched. Will Russell Wilson make his first start of the season, or will Justin Fields or Kyle Allen get the nod? Only time will tell.
