‘He Was Decisive:’ Arthur Smith Thinks Justin Fields ‘Operated Pretty Well’ In Steelers Debut

Pittsburgh Steelers QB Justin Fields went 5-of-6 for 67 yards in Pittsburgh’s preseason opener against the Houston Texans, but the story of the night for Fields was two fumbled snaps on bad exchanges between him and C Nate Herbig. Still, offensive coordinator Arthur Smith thought that other than the bad snaps, it was a good night for Fields.

“I thought he was decisive. He threw a great ball to Van [Jefferson]. I thought when we got out of our own way, he operated pretty well,” Smith said via Aaron Becker of Yardbarker on Twitter.

Fields’ throw to Jefferson was a pretty ball on a modified sail concept.
