Back in June, Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette said that a Justin Fields package is not in Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin’s nature. Now, in August, he is saying Tomlin would be stupid not to do it. While he maintains that Russell Wilson is the Steelers’ starter, he is now on the Fields package bandwagon.
“Mike Tomlin has never really believed in taking his starting quarterback out of the game. … He’s not one just to insert special packages into the offense”, Dulac told Rich Eisen on Friday. “But I think with Justin Fields, to me, one, they would be kind of stupid to not do that, and two, Arthur Smith kind of hinted at that yesterday”.
