Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin favored what he noticed from Justin Fields in the course of the quarterback’s preseason debut Friday, however one problem marred all the efficiency in his eyes.
Fields went 5-of-6 passing for 67 yards, however he fumbled a snap on two drives in a 20-12 loss to Houston. So far as Tomlin was involved, the 2 failed snap exchanges negated the remainder of the efficiency.
“I believed he did some good issues,” Tomlin mentioned, via Brooke Pryor of ESPN. “However clearly he was a part of the C-Q trade, and from my perspective that’s twin accountability on the middle and the quarterback. It negated a variety of good issues occurring in these first couple of drives.”
The Steelers did get well each fumbles, however the incidents backed them up and led to a pair of three-and-outs. Fields was additionally sacked twice.
Requirements are excessive in Pittsburgh — if Fields didn’t already know. He in all probability needs to be superb to be able to win the beginning job away from Russell Wilson, who clearly appears to be in the driver’s seat for the job. He can’t actually afford errors like that, regardless of how good he was in different facets of his efficiency.
