On the subject of Tomlin, I think he may be rethink "stepping away" as HC. He now has Russ (1 year) and J Fields in his hip pocket.

I think that depends on the Russ he's getting. He needs Wilson to be the younger version of himself like the play maker he was in Seattle. And not the Primadona that Payton tried to turn into a pocket passer. Could be why they traded for Fields. If Russ can't run and gun then Fields is right there.

Good thing for Pittsburg is that they still can play defense and run with Najee. If they need Russ to win games with pocket passing it won't end any better than it did in Denver.

MT is a shell of his former self. You could see it last season. Maybe he was just getting back up to game speed but he didn't have the violence at the line like in years past. Maybe he gets that back.
