Why does the national media seem to think Fields will quickly take over as the team’s starting QB in place of Wilson? If the Steelers had to play a game tomorrow, which QB would opposing teams want to face?  More and more national voices saying will be the Steelers starting QB soon enough. How many teams around the league have a backup QB that is more naturally gifted than the starter? How will this work with the 2-QB system? Will Fields shine in the offense? Will hold him off?  MIKE FLORIO FROM PRO FOOTBALL TALK joined the show. Mike thinks it is no coincidence that the Steelers signed hours after the NFL changed its kickoff rules to bring that aspect back into the game.

The guys asked Mike about a few other rules changes and how they will impact the games next season.
