Watt\u00a0responded. While linebacker\u00a0Patrick Queen\u00a0said: \u201cLet em know 2!!\u201d And fellow Steelers LB\u00a0Mark Robinson\u00a0wrote, \u201cYessirrr \ud83d\udd25,\u201d among other Pittsburgh replies.<\/p>\n<p>From outside the organization,\u00a0Detroit Lions\u00a0running back and former\u00a0Chicago Bears\u00a0teammate\u00a0David Montgomery had a well-liked comment that read: \u201cThey hate to see you evolving!! I knew it was inevitable \ud83e\udd0d\ud83e\udd0d\ud83e\udd0d.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And Bears backup quarterback\u00a0Tyson Bagent\u00a0sent a couple of \u201c\ud83d\udd25\u201d emojis back at Fields.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, former NBA point guard\u00a0Nate Robinson\u00a0wrote: \u201cKeep ur chin high young fella, it\u2019s ur time to shine!! GODBLESS ur game bro.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Steelers Beat Writer Predicts \u2018Wonky, Low-Scoring\u2019 Win vs. Broncos<\/h2>\n<p>As Fields noted in his post, the Steelers are 1-0. Right now, all that matters is that they head back to Pittsburgh 2-0.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Steelers\u2019 defense should make life miserable for Denver rookie quarterback\u00a0Bo Nix,\u201d\u00a0The Atheltic\u2019s Mike DeFabo wrote on September 13. Explaining why the offense might also take a step forward against the Broncos.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFields\u2019 passing chart featured virtually no attempts over the middle of the field and very few passes beyond 10 yards [in Week 1],\u201d DeFabo acknowledged. \u201cHowever, there\u2019s a reason for this. In the preseason (and throughout his career), Fields has been inconsistent when asked to throw with accuracy and anticipation from the pocket.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cConsidering the Steelers\u2019 new play caller faced a late-week curveball when\u00a0Russell Wilson aggravated his calf injury last Thursday, it was reasonable to keep the ball out of harm\u2019s way, give Fields some easy, confidence-building throws and allow the dominant defense to do its thing,\u201d the beat reporter went on. \u201cWe\u2019ll see if they open things up more in Week 2.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Later, DeFabo concluded that \u201cas long as Fields can protect the football again, I like Pittsburgh in another wonky, low-scoring game.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Steelers Run Game Will Be the \u2018Catalyst\u2019 No Matter Who Is at Quarterback, Says Analyst<\/h2>\n<p>Although there has been a ton of focus on Fields and Wilson this summer, the Steelers will likely win and lose games in 2024 because of their defense and their rushing attack.<\/p>\n<p>DeFabo\u2019s colleague with The Athletic,\u00a0Ted Nguyen, talked about the latter\u2019s importance ahead of Week 2.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe run game will be the Steelers\u2019 catalyst no matter who plays quarterback,\u201d Nguyen argued. \u201cPittsburgh is switching to offensive coordinator Arthur Smith\u2019s outside zone scheme. It takes time for an offensive line to jell in that scheme. It\u2019s a relatively simple one in terms of play volume but requires a lot of communication to execute properly, and the running backs have to get adept at consistently making the right reads and cuts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He noted that against the\u00a0Atlanta Falcons, \u201cthe Steelers had 106 yards but averaged only 2.9 yards and had a 38.9 percent rushing success rate on designed rushes (QB scrambles not included).\u201d Nguyen also pointed out that \u201cmissed assignments,\u201d blocks and \u201cbad reads\u201d by the running backs prevented a few rushing plays from hitting big.<\/p>\n<p>The NFL analyst called running back\u00a0Najee Harris\u00a0\u201ca bit indecisive\u201d in Smith\u2019s new scheme. While\u00a0Jaylen Warren\u00a0was more limited than usual returning from injury.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019d expect the running game to look better with more carries for Warren,\u201d Nguyen predicted. Adding that \u201cit appears the total option package for Justin Fields hasn\u2019t been installed yet.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GettyPittsburgh Steelers quarterback Justin Fields is expected to start again in Week 2.
