Steelers’ Justin Fields Closes Gap in QB Battle w/Russell Wilson | Van Jefferson Pushes for WR2 Role

The Pittsburgh Steelers are still waiting for Russell Wilson to be back to full strength, but in the meantime, Justin Fields has impressed. Fields’ work in training camp has closed the gap between the two quarterbacks, and Christopher Carter explains how that’s happened and what to expect next as the Steelers continue to work out the two quarterbacks.

Also, Chris explains why Van Jefferson looks like a solid option at WR2 behind George Pickens and shows his interview of Jefferson. Jefferson explains a new workout he’s begun that was inspired by Antonio Brown and how it’s helping him improve.

Finally, Chris also goes over how Beanie Bishop has solidified his spot as slot cornerback in the defense until otherwise, and how the secondary is forming as a whole around Minkah Fitzpatrick.

  7. Good show CC thank you for all that you do to keep us posted and updated. Camp has been great and i think Justin is definitely closing the gap and if Russ don't compete then the offense is going to get use to Fields. Tomilin might not have a choice but to start him as QB1

  9. Van Jefferson had 0 TDs & 209 yards in 17 games played last year (9 starts)

    A WR breaking out at 28 years old/year 5 has literally never happened before in the NFL. Alan Robinson actually had sustained success & put up solid numbers in the NFL making him worth the flyer (also looked solid last preseason). It doesn't have to be Aiyuk, but you're an injury away from your WRs being Van Jefferson/Quez Watkins. The Steelers are #32 in every WR unit ranking I've seen the last few weeks, smh.

  12. Fields Starts and the season is lost write it down. He is just a faster runner than KP#08 and just as bad as a QB! Remember Last year in the Preseason???? Come on CC

  13. Come on Chris, your my favorite but be serious. This 'closing the gap' narrative is only affirming to me that he's clearly the backup! Russell Wilson show starting Tuesday!

  14. Training camp is a controlled environment. Coaches at times set it up how they want to practice plays, Preseason no team shows there full offense or defense to tip their hand. Regular season games is the test

  17. Lmao everybody hurt by the "closing the gap" statement 🤣 y'all hilarious. The situation will play out the way it's suppose to. Fans act like they life's on the line if they favorite player plays or doesn't play lol.
