Head coach Mike Tomlin reiterated on Tuesday that he isn\u2019t going to make a true decision on the Steelers\u2019 QB1 until he has to, Justin Fields is in line to start the fourth game of the season on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Fields has helped pilot Pittsburgh to a 3-0 start, with Tomlin saying on Tuesday that there\u2019s \u201cno question Justin has played well. And that\u2019s exciting for him and for us.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAs I mentioned here repeatedly, I like his steady demeanor,\u201d Tomlin said. \u201cI like that in a leader. He doesn\u2019t ride the emotional roller coaster when things are going good, or things are going bad. Guys can rally around that. He\u2019s steady. He\u2019s a competitor. He likes to compete. He doesn\u2019t turn down things. He\u2019s aggressive in play, scrambling, and so forth. It\u2019s just been fun to get to know him and not only know him as a guy but know him as a competitor.\u201d<\/p>\n
Fields has completed 73.3 percent of his passes (55-of-75) for 518 yards with two touchdowns and one interception. He\u2019s also rushed for 90 yards with one touchdown.<\/p>\n
\u201cI want to see him improve in all areas, to be quite honest with you,\u201d Tomlin said. \u201cKnowing what those areas of needing improvement are, are difficult sometimes when you don\u2019t have a shared experience. So a component of me getting to know him is just maintaining that posture, challenging him to improve in all areas, and as we gain more experience together, I\u2019ll be able to narrow that focus on things that become repetitive or trending.\u201d<\/p>\n
Tomlin did note he\u2019d like to see the offense as a whole start better, particularly on third down. While the club finished 7-of-14 in the category against the Chargers last Sunday, Pittsburgh was 3-of-7 in the first half in the category.<\/p>\n
If Fields and the offensive unit can make those improvements, it will only increase the likelihood that he\u2019ll keep that starter\u2019s role whenever Russell Wilson is healthy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
