This is a paid advertisement, all right, Welcome in.
Dave Wanstat, the former Bears head coach, has thoughts on justin fields. You know he's from Pittsburgh. He's gonna have thoughts on the Steelers. My takeaway in the first game, as boy, that was ugly. The Saints are now two to zero undefeated. Derek Carr comes through in the fourth quarter. Through his career, he's been a pretty good fourth quarter quarterback. Bryce Young is small. He's never going to be a dominant player in this league. He's accurate, he moves well.
They just don't have any playmakers. They gave up Dj Moore to get him, and they need receiver DJ Moore back. That was the downside of that move. But if you wanted to control the draft and get your quarterback, then that's what you do. Smallish, accurate moves. Well, he's tiny, though, and I think you know he's not going to ever push the ball down the field. It's not what you're
going to get. But he's got an offensive coach. They had a very very vanilla game plan for him, so, I mean it was it was a remedial game plan, not a lot of motion. They didn't ask him to do a lot, but they don't have a lot to work with, so they tried to kind of play you know, field position and eventually gave up a huge play down the sideline from Derek Carr that felt like a big advantage in this football game. A bobbled but caught ball on the left sideline and they hold on, you know,
a push. I didn't have a great first two weeks. Got to push on that had Carolina plus three Carolina. I'm so glad I was talked out of it. I had the Saints winning Division Atlanta a wild card team. I like Carolina through the summer, but I did have questions about the offensive line and their skill people, and they just don't have any juice. Both of these were ugly games. I would prefer we had more Sunday games one Monday night football game. I'm not a huge fan
of Thursday night football. Most of the games are uninspired. Al Michaels and Kirk kirk Street sometimes seemed like, you know, they're pros. They do a good job, but I mean the games just don't have any juice, any energy. As far as the Pittsburgh Steelers, they won a game tonight with nine first downs. I don't know how long Matt Canada is going to get in Pittsburgh.
I don't get it.
Five years, the offensive line still suboptimal, the run games hit and miss. I don't see clever. But Mike Tomlin and the Steelers, they're all about continuity and loyalty, so Matt Canada retains employment. I just don't see it. When you watch the Rams and McVeigh and the Niners and Kyle Shanahan and the Dolphins, where they spend their money, the coaching, the schematics, the adaptability, they're just playing a different game than the Steelers.
They won a game.
It never breaks my heart when Deshaun Watson, who I think the creepy guy, loses a football game. I just don't think he's I think you take a year and a half to two years off in the NFL. I mean you can make it as a coach, I don't think you can do it as a quarterback. I just don't think he's that good. I don't think he's a top twelve quarterback in the league. I never loved how he threw a football. He was a playmaker in his
best years. But we've had so many young quarterbacks get drafted in the last three years and emerge in the last year or two. I just don't consider Deshaun Watson an elite quarterback. You know, he probably should have gotten the benefit of a pass interference call, and that one that's sailed out of bounds you're on the road, you don't get the call. But the Steelers won with nine first downs and being dominated.
In time of possession.
You're not supposed to win that game if you're a star quarterback and you're Deshaun Watson. Nick Chubb injury is gross. I saw the video once.
That was enough.
I don't want to see it again. But you know, Pittsburgh one in one one, they find ways to win. But I just I feel like they're playing a different game. They feel very much like New England with better players. I just don't think there's much of a ceiling offensively. And if you don't have home run plays, if you're not creative and clever and adaptable, I just don't think you can. You can get the conference championships or beyond.

It was very much I guess this is my takeaway with the Steelers. So this is an organization that Chuck Noll, Bill Kauer, Mike Tomlin. I mean, it doesn't even make sense. In the NFL, they're all about loyalty and continuity. How
many years does Matt Kennedy get the OC job. They can't get the O line right, they can't run the football. I mean, I just look at this and I think to myself, Yeah, though eight or nine games, they'll finish about five hundred. I just look around this league at the Dolphins and the Niners and Philadelphia and some of these clever offenses and coach This is a tough way to make a living. I just I think there's a ceiling to Steelers football when I see your thoughts.
Yeah, I offensively it is. It's tough to watch. And we know that. Kenny Pickett, in my opinion, I'm a little bit partial because he's a pick guy and I'm a pick guy called him. But the guy didn't have much of a chance. In a minute that you see your quarterback running for his life like he did, my first instinct is we gotta slow that down. And how do you slow it down? You run the football. And with three minutes to go into the third quarter, the Pittsburgh Steelers had twelve yards rushing.
I know it.
I mean, I mean that, I can't I can't comprehend that. I mean, you could go up and take a knee, you know, fifteen times at that point in the game and make more than twelve yards. I mean, it really makes no sense. And at the end of last year, and I go back to Art Rooney, who's a friend, you know, he made the statement Mike Pomlin has. But at the end of last year, check it out. Art Rooney, the owner said we will run the football next year. We're not going to put up with what we did
this year. We're going to get back to Steeler football. And here we are and and nothing's changed, nothing's changed, you know. Thank God for that defense, thank God for playing at home. Unfortunate injury with Nick Chubb. I mean, he he's their lifeline. He was averaging six yards of carry before he got hurt tonight, so I think he would have he would have made a difference. But yeah, Kenny Pickett right now, I think he's really is concerned about the rush as he is sitting back and reading
the coverage. If he doesn't look, he looks he truly looks like his focus isn't on reading one, two, three, what's the coverage, it's where's the rush coming from? And do I have to scramble? Do I have to get the ball out? It's tough for a quarterback to operate under those circumstances.
A lot of young quarterbacks struggling justin fields. Mac Jones, Kenny Pickett have defensive head coaches. This is not a shot at them, but I do think there's a sensibility in a language offensive coaches speak, and I feel like, you know, defensive coaches, you know, they're not going to be quite as creative, they're not going to be quite as risk taking. And frankly, a lot of offensive coaches
played quarterback, they were offensive players. And I is it a fair criticism to say Pittsburgh's a defensive culture and unless they get a young progressive, that's its culture is toughness and physicality, And I just look at it and I think that's not doing Kenny Pickett the same thing for New England coach Matt Jones had a defensive coordinator Holland plays last year. Is that a fair criticism?
Well, I think there's some degree it is the problem that you have in Pittsburgh. Is it tomorrow? It's gonna be the terrible Towles did it again in the defense, and they go on to the next week. You know, I mean, it's nothing going to change. You know what's crazy? Uh, you talk about and and and we're going to get
into the Dolphins in a minute. When we do, I want to bring up a point to you about defensive head coaches because, uh, we're having to do with San Diego when they played the Dolphins in that first game. But yeah, back back to Pittsburgh. I don't see I don't see it changing. I really don't. Uh, that's their identity,
that's who they are. If they face a team that doesn't have the pass rush with with this Arius Smith and Miles Garrett, like Cleveland is really good on defense, then Kenny Picket will have a good game and he'll throw for three touchdowns. But against the quality pass rush defense, nothing will change.
All right, let's pivot to Chicago, where you spend a great deal of your time.
You know.
I came into the season and I said, I think I'm kind of fifty five forty five sixty forty justin fields will work. I thought DJ Moore was a huge get for them, and he's been kind of their receiving corps. But Dave, I just don't think he sees the field well. He reminds me a lot of Zach Wilson. He's got a good arm, he moves well, and he just doesn't anticipate the play. I think justin fields. I mean I watched him on a lot of different views, almost like
drone footage or behind him. There's wide open guys everywhere he has time on certain plays. Do you think in the you know you know this, the GM and the head coach can say we didn't draft him, he's not our guy. And next year there's six to seven first round quarterbacks. The Bears could have two top six or seven picks. Coach, I think it's really hard if he ends up. I mean he's five and twenty two. If he goes seven and ten, six and eleven, yeah, they're not sticking with him in Chicago.
There's no way.
No. They have two number one picks next year, as we know their's and the Panthers with the trade Carolina, so they're gonna they're gonna be Uh. They could have two ten top picks. I mean maybe two five top five. Who knows the way this thing's unraveling. But uh, you know the whole plan here, and I'm close to all those guys, Ryan Poles and Matt Egriflus. I'm up there all the time OTA's training camp, and the blueprint was the Philadelphia Eagles. You know, two years ago people were
uncertain of Jalen Hurts. That's when they went and got a J. Brown. Uh, That's that's when they kind of changed their philosophy and they buried down. It's gonna be a quarterback o t you know, quarterback run pass option offense that Jalen Hurts can execute to a high level. Uh. Well, the difference is so that's what So they go on and they get DJ Brown here, absolutely outstanding. The problem is Philadelphia Eagles got one of the best offensive lines
and last year they led the NFL in sacks. The Bears can't, but they the strong safety was the leading socker for the Bears last year, and you saw him against Baker Mayfield. Even when they got in there, their defense couldn't get Baker on the ground. I mean, he said they make no plays on defense. Now, So my point is this that justin fields, Yes, he did have time. He held the ball for once. I was timing him over three seconds. One time it was four seconds, one
time five seconds. And he's trying to be not a running quarterback. Last year he leads the league in rushing calling, and there was an outcry, we can't win a super Bowl that way. He's got to throw it, and I'm afraid to say I think I think Luke gets see the offensive coordinator fell into the same trap as Justin did. Okay, we're going. They had one quarterback run in the opening game. It was a quarterback sneak. That was it. That was the only call for and they were averaging about ten
or twelve game last year. I thought it was too many, but they were moving the balls and the offense was generating a rhythm. That's all gone in this game. The opening drive. The second week against Tampa, they have the run pass option on the rollout, Justin keeps it, runs it in. DJ Moore was open for a pass across the middle. Never saw it again. They go back to the drop back. They're kind of running. You know, Luke Getzi came from Green Bay and it almost looks like
a Green Bay Packer type of offense. And we can't do that. They've got to abandon that their only chance and go back to the run quarterback run option and hope that their defense gets better. Otherwise, this kid's got no chance chance.
Listen.
It's like right now, the Philadelphia Eagles are a good team that doesn't have an identity, and they won't embrace that. Jalen Hurts is a power running quarterback. That's what he is. Baltimore, to their credit, is allowing Lamar Jackson to be Lamar Jackson. Russell Wilson last year in Denver stopped running. Kyler Murray doesn't want to run. To me, it doesn't matter if it's basketball, football, or baseball. Lean into what you do. And I look at this when I watch justin Fields. Listen,
it's Zach Wilson. He's got some gifts, but he's a big, strong kid who moves.
This. What's happening now is he's dropping back if he doesn't like his throw, rather than running and making something positive. DJ Moore twice was open clapping his hands during the game, trying to get his attention to throwing the ball. So you know, it's your only chance is to go back to what they did last year and turn them loose. Get him on the move and in passing situations. Hope that he has improved. Now their offensive line might be
worse than last year. The draft picks a player Darnel right the right tackle, but the right guard, the right guard. They're in their third right guard, Davis. They signed him. He don't practice then he had personal reasons. I think it was a family thing. So they started a guy and they drafted in a seventh Drownd. Last year he never played. Lucas Patrick the center. He he didn't take one snap in a preseason. He's starting at center. The offensive line too, is struggling bad.
And so again, by the way, another another defensive coach, Sean McDermott, Mike Tomlin, Matt eberflu struggling with the old line. Do you know in Week one ten of the eleven top rated old Lions For offensive coaches, Andy Reid fixed his in an offseason. Sean McVay this year fixed his in an offseason. I think we have to be honest. Defensive coaches can fix D lines quickly. Offensive coaches can fix O lines quickly. How many years in a row can the Bears two? Three years in a row? They
can't get the offensive line right. And by the way, They've used a lot of draft capital and money on it. They've drafted a lot of offensive linemen. Yeah, yeah, I just I think no.
It's their first round pick this year, darned Now, right out of Tennessee. He's going to be a player. But from there they've got some guys that need to develop, and they've got some older guys. Now, it's not it's not conducive to giving your quarterback a lot of time and having him sit back there and be able to read the field. So they can't they can't do what they're doing now. They've got to go back to the run offense, abandon this, hope their defense comes up with
a few plays. You know, we get no help from our defense in Chicago because you know, the balls on the ground, we don't do it, even get it against Tampa we had just for interceptions. We don't get them. So the offense never gets a short field, you know, they never get a it's always drive eighty yards to score a touchdown, and that doesn't happen in the NFL.

Let's transition to Miami, which I think is as good as any team in the league. I mean, they're just they almost look like a Canadian football league with all these motions pre snap motions. I will say this, you know Miami wants winners because you have the Awqua water in the beach. If you win, they care. If you don't, they're out. I worry that this team couldn't play physical football. It would be a finesse speed team. I watched them
in New England coach. They played between the tackle, run football, power football, and I was like, okay, Plus, you love Vic Fangio. Almost every defensive coach I know likes Vic Fangio. He's dialing up pressures. I gotta tell you, I don't see a big hole. I sometimes I worry when a team spreads it out and they're a speed team that that's what they practice, and they can lack a physical they lack of physicality. Tough teams, tough practices. I worried
a little bit about that with Miami. But you know, it is San Francisco's offense, and San Francisco plays a power game actually, so it feels like it's a bit more finesse than San Francisco's version. You know this, Mike McDaniel is an IVY League Kyle Shanahan. It's a little more spread out, a little more motion, a little more finesse. But I was impressed with their physicality against New England.
Your thoughts, Yeah, I yes, anytime you can you can go shoot a shoot with the Patriots, that's saying that you're a physical football team. So they did that. You know. The two thoughts Number one two is doing a fabulous job when you talk about physical and running the ball, the two things that I got to see from the Dolphins. McDaniel's got to stay and be trying to be as bollaced as he can. That's tough for him to do. You got to remember back last year Buffalo up there playoffs.
They had their thirteen quarterback Skyler Thompson. You have Dolphins. We're downed to their thirteen, and they threw it twice as much as they ran it. They threw it forty five times, they ran it twenty And I'm thinking to myself, run the football and you're gonna beat the Buffalo Bills. You're gonna beat these guys in a snowstorm up there,
and for whatever reason, they didn't do it. I think that is one thing that McDaniel's got to keep going back to, trying to be balanced as many weapons and explosives, trying to be balanced. I think you know the game plan. I loved the game plan that the Chargers had. If I'm playing the Dolphins tomorrow, I'm gonna do what they do, except that how do you leave Tyreek Hill? You know? One on one? That was the only thing I would have never played, man, I would have played zone, but
their philosophy was Herbert. They ran the ball ten more times than Herbert passed it. Yep, and they took the air. They ran the ball on Fanzio's defense for one hundred and eighty some yards. I mean, that's the way you beat these guys, and you take the air the football, but you don't let the most fastest guy in the world be one on one. That was the only thing that made no set in this game plan. He's supposed to be a defensive guy, you know. But I thought
the big picture plan on offense was perfect. You want to beat them, that's what you do.
Yeah, you don't want to get into a track meet with Miami. What you want to do is you want to have And I thought I agreed with you completely. Brandon Staley drives me nuts. I've never seen a team give up more third and longs. But their game plan was sound. It was We're gonna run the ball, eat the clock, give them probably two fewer possessions, and take our chances late.
That's the way to beat Miami.
Nobody's gonna beat them, and a track meet, especially in South Florida, it's not gonna happen.
No, No, no, So you know, I agree with you, and it's just at the coverage. You always got to stay on top of hill, you know, and if he if he curls up and catches it in front of you, then you got to come up and tackle a guy. But you can't get into a foot race with him. He just can't do it. And that's what they did, and they lose the game because of it. But I
liked the game plan. I thought it was very good, and all the players bought in, and you know, and New England tried doing the same thing, but they didn't have as good players, didn't have as good receivers, didn't have as good a quarterback. So you know, obviously the plan didn't wasn't effective almost almost.
One of the things I think I've noticed in the first couple of weeks is there is a reluctance. Now we have instead of four preseason games, coach, we have three, and there is this continued reluctance to play starters. So I think it's really hurt offensive line play. I think some of the best offenses, Kansas City's, Cincinnati's really sputtering. When you have these star quarterbacks, they want to protect
and not play. I wonder if we have a little bit of a move back to playing starters in the preseason, because you you know, defensively, you could probably use a little less practice. But if you're a line, if you got new starters and you don't play it all together in the preseason, you're gonna be a mess in September. And I think that's one of the things I've noticed. My kind of macro view of the NFL two weeks in is are we gonna Are we gonna go back
to playing starters in the preseason. I think the offenses, a lot of the better offenses in the league have completely struggled. That's my takeaway and what I've seen your thoughts, Yes.
One hundred percent. And I think Nick Siriani from the Eagles, what was the first thing he said in his press conference and they won the game in the opener, I will never let this happen again. What happened in the preseason. Our starters are playing next year. Write it down because I didn't do a good job in the preseason. We were physically not ready to play. He totally agree with them. I looked up when when when the Bears lost their opener to Green Bay. I looked up to see the number.
Justin Fields played eleven percent of all the preseason snaps and Green Bays quarterback Jordan Love he played over thirty percent. So this kid played, you know, more, considerable more. But Justin Fields had nine eleven percent of the snaps. Are you kidding me? This kid needs to play eighty percent of the snaps. He needs to play, and so does
that offensive line. Like you said, I definitely think that there's going to be a movement back to that, just because of the reasons just you said it and Sarah and you hear coaches say I want.
I want to move back to the Bears on this you I was. I spent the weekend in Chicago. You spent a lot of time there. It's my favorite American city. I just love the architecture of the people. It's so passionate politics and sports. It's like a nicer version of Boston, a friendlier version of Boston politics and sports. Rule to day, the has had some whiffs, but also had some hits.
The coach has a lot of detractors, but with the draft being as strong as it is for quarterback, if there has to be a choice made, go back, and you tell me the history of the Bears, will they stick with the coach and move off the quarterback. That's my gut feeling today that eber Flus only has two years. He didn't pick fields, the GM didn't pick fields. My guess is they're going to keep the GM and the coach. Are Are you backing me there? But you know the history of the organization.
Yeah, I definitely think that if they make a change, it would be at quarterback, not the coach at GM. I really believe that, And I think they're sitting there with just for the reason you said it probably not fair to Justin. You know that he wasn't drafted by them, he couldn't control that. But if they make a move, I definitely believe that's the way they would go. I do think that, you know, they got a new president of the team, and I know the owner, George McCaskey.
I think everybody's working well together, so there's not an internal conflict right now. So I definitely think if they do make a change, if something gets major shake up at the end of the year, it would be the quarterback. It would not be the head coach.
Do you hear the players like justin Fields, how is he?
They do? They do? And he's tough. I watched that kid last year in December getting ready for the Packers whether a cold, they can't win a game, the fans are booing. He gets a separated shoulder and he walks up to the podium in a sling, and they said, how are you going to be next week? And he said, how am I going to be next week? If it's Packer week, I will be ready to go. And to me, that's what you needed at Chicago. That's Chicago right there.
Knockdown shoulder, it's snowing out, it's freezing cold, but I'll be ready to go next week. So I mean he has the toughness, he has the commitment to be successful. Why, I don't know. You know, if you go back to his college days, Cohen, you know, because I took a look at this. He started two years in Ohio State and two years he was sacked like forty nine times,
like twenty eight eight twenty nine times a year. And then he leaves and C. J. Stroud takes over quarterback now down at Houston, and they actually threw the ball a little bit more, and I think he was only sacked twelve times. So this holding the ball syndrome or or making a decision syndrome or whatever it is, whatever it is, it was, it was there in Ohio State a little bit. And I don't think anybody wants to admit it, but it was there. If you look at.
The Kyle Shanahan had told people inside the building in San Francisco that he was concerned that that was his knock on justin field, that he just didn't see the field and that he just held onto the ball too long. And I think that's a great that's a great nugget by you, is that they threw more with C. J. Stroud and he was sacked significantly less. Now, some of that can be personnel, but Ohio States always had you know, four and five star you know it's Ohio State.
They got guys as big as that door blocking guys from Northwestern and want to be doctors. I mean think about it, right, I mean come on, yeah, I mean yes, yes, time to throw.
The Okay, finally, you love the Big ten. I love college football, Notre Dame Ohio State this weekend. But I want to ask you about Dion Sanders now Travis Hunter won't be available for Oregon or USC, and I think that'll be their undoing. I think he's such a special player that gave them a real shot in those games.
How surprised are you not? That he drew attention, but I mean seventy percent of his roster coach is transfer portal, and they've been They've been pretty efficient, not heavily penalized now that I think, you know, looking ahead to Oregon and off of Nebraska game that was highly emotional, I just think they were flat. You know this in college football, you don't get the same right. They were just they got USC and Oregon coming, they played Colorado State, they
were completely flat. Are you surprised though, at the immediacy of the efficiency? And they looked like a fairly well oiled machine offensively, Are you surprised by it?
No? Because I know the couple of the coaches on the staff there and the guy that's in offense coordinario who was a head coach at Kent State and was at a heck of a job, and he went there and then he had a chance to go to Notre Dame. A week after he took the Colorado Jame job, Reese left Notre Dame and went to Alabama and they tried hired him away from Beyond and come into Notre Dame and stayed because he was committed. And that told me something right there that you know what this because this
guy's a heck of a coach. And I agree with you. I was waiting to see twelve men on the field, right, guys jumping off sides. Too many men on the field for a punt. Can't get the field ball team out there. They were smooth, They were as smooth as anybody. You got to give d On credit for that. And you know with this transfer portal, the one thing that happens. You know, very few kids go into the transfer portal unless they got another place to go. Now that might
be a level below or whatever it is. So you know, it's not like it was when I went to school and Johnny Majors took over a pit, they opened the doors. He brought in almost ninety freshmen. In fact, there was a story in Sports Illustrated a month ago that was the biggest turner on behind what Dion did. But we had no choice. We either played and we jumped on board, or we were out and lost our scholarship, so there was no transfer portal where now these kids did leave
they didn't fit in or whatever the circumstance was. I was a little head reservations because you know, you kind of say, is this the right thing to do for college football? But the more and I know Dion a little bit from the Florida State Miami days in Dallas days, and the more that I hear Dion talk, you know, he talks about his faith, he talks about his family, about making these guys get father good husbands. I mean, he talks about the right things. And then you know
you're going to be in a pro system nowadays. You know why these kids go to college. I mean, I hate to say this. When I went to pit my first year, I remember going back there because the first time I was a pitter's assistant with Johnny Major's when we won national championship. You know, kids went to school
somewhere because they wanted to get a good education. And like myself is I'm a junior and all of a sudden, someone said, hey, you might be good enough to go to the NFL, And I said, I mean, you know, no, there was no social media. No one talked about it. You just want there to try to get a degree and play football and hang on with the guys. Now.
So I go into my first home. I go back to Pitt in the mid two thousands there, and I go into a home and it was us in Notre Dame and Charlie Weiss was at Notre Dame and he was coming out, and I'm getting ready to go win, and I'm wearing my Pitt National Championship ring and I'm going there and I'm talking about why he should come to Pitt and our great business school and on and on and on and the tradition of Pitt and Tony Dorsett and Dan Marino. And I walk on and I said,
did you see what Charlie was wearing? A Super Bowl ring? And my assistant coach said, Coach, you've been in the NFL for about fifteen years. These kids, unfortunately, don't want to hear by getting this degree. They want to hear how quick you're going to make them first rund draft picks. And I took that National Championship ring and put it in the drawer and I put my Super Bowl ring
on and that was the end of it. And my point is with the story is that these kids nowadays, how quick can you make me a first round draft pick? And can you get me into the NFL?
