Orlovsky: If Russell Wilson Holds Onto The Football Too Long, Steelers ‘Will Get Stomped’ By Falcons

One of the concerns, if not the biggest, about Pittsburgh Steelers starting QB Russell Wilson this season is his penchant for taking sacks. Wilson has taken 100 sacks in 30 games the last two seasons, and if he holds onto the football too long again, Pittsburgh’s offense could struggle. That’s ESPN NFL analyst Dan Orlovsky’s biggest worry for Pittsburgh’s matchup with the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday.

“If he holds onto the football this weekend, Pittsburgh will get stomped by Atlanta,” Orlovsky said Thursday on Get Up And that’s my big concern in this game, because Jessie Bates, who’s the Atlanta Falcons’ safety, and now Justin Simmons, I’d say they’re in the conversation for great liars, because as a quarterback you sit there and look at ’em and go ‘I don’t know what they’re doing.
