If you ever have time, its on youtube he sat down with the St Brown brothers when fields was still a Bear,... Amon-Ra & Equanimeous St. Brown,,,Amon Ra plays for detoirt ESB was Fields teammate on the Bears. You can tell he's just a good normal guy,
Watched him when he was at OSU. Got to see him play in person, on local interviews, and at charity events etc. He is just a really down to earth, smart, good dude who works his ass off. Glad he has landed in Pitt with Tomlin. Hope it works out for the team and him. 🏈
You are correct. He seems to have landed in the perfect spot where he gets a second chance. I think he was overwhelmed with different coaches and changes of offensive coordinators and a terrible offensive line in chicago. And the blame went entirely on him, which often happens with the quarterback. But he's good in pittsburgh. He has Steeler Nation behind him. And we're all rooting for him. We need a QB of the future. Since big been retired we have had no one. I mean Mason Rudolph kind of got crazy at the end there last year and I'm sad that we lost him. But great to see Justin Fields get a chance. @@hros6825

Steelers Nation this interview was entertaining to get to know Justin Fields more this guy is humble and fits the organization perfect! Wishing a successful season!! #HEREWEGO!!
Justin if you read this... I have been a fan of yours for so long and to see you in the black and yellow has been a literal dream come true. Keep your head up and eyes forward and this city and team will embrace you for the next 10-15 years and then beyond for the rest of your life....oh and if you sign a long term deal in the future make them give you your #1!!!! it isn't officially retired!
I think we found our QB .. Now we're gonna win some football games & for years to come..it's a good time to be a Steelers fan..let's gooooo.. Go STEELERS.!!!
My wish would be Russell stays the back up and just rides out his career in Pittsburgh helping Justin and this team…he’s a good dude and would be an awesome back up QB
@@skeetaman3049 trust me I get that but he also prolly didn’t expect to be hurt to start the season. I mean beggars can’t be choosers. Play nice here in Pittsburgh and hope next year some teams takes a flyer on him

@@davidtaylor2447 point is Russ could've went to other teams. It's what Tomlin told him. As I said if no Super Bowl comes from Justin people need to still stand 10 toes down
One of the most likable players in the league and so so talented the kid deserves the world and i’m so glad he’s finally getting an opportunity in a competent franchise
I absolutely love love how Justin Fields mentioned coming through the 4 pit tunnels and seeing pittsburgh. Because hands down, that is the best scene of pittsburgh. Mount Washington is great. But when you don't know what you're expecting and you come through the tunnel and all of a sudden Pittsburgh appears it is the best city in the world.

From Justin Fields point of view this is a godsend. He has been able to start slowly, and begin to showcase his talent for a team that favors him personally, favors him scheme wise, and with a fanbase that is second to none that already loves him. What a turnaround in less than one year.
Who is Justin? For the blind, he is the vision. For the hungry, he is the chef. For the thirsty, he is the water. If Justin thinks, I agree. If Justin speaks, I'm listening. If Justin has one fan, it is me. If Justin has no fans, I don't exist. If there were a starship, he would be its captain. He is H2M
Justin Fields looks so much happier now he’s away from Chicago Bears. I’ve said he needed to leave the Bears organization since the game where Browns sacked Justin multiple times all day long -just awful for QBs in Chicago. Go Steelers and Justin. Happy for you guys!
@@jordancook20 your English is fine. His is not. Only black people omit the word is. I am rooting for black people. I am tired of seeing black people be behind, and tired of bad examples being set and followed. 50 years ago, 75% of black children grew up in a home with a father. Now it is 25%. Black people are 17% of the USA population, but black men are convicted of 51% of all murders in the USA. Jesus is the 1 to follow. Speak properly. Get educated. Go for Jesus. Treat other people like they are you or your brother or sister.
Fields and this defense can go the distance and beat anyone. Fields can rush for 50 yards or throw for 50 yards. He can do everything Lamar Jackson can do except Fields has a better deep ball and throws better on the run . Steelers need to sign Fields asap to a long term extension.
Justin Field Goal isn’t doing anything. He’s averaging 17pts per game which close to dead last in the league. Chris Boswell(the kicker) and the defense are carrying him
man I love this team. I love the dynamic between Russ and JF. It would be amazing If we can figure out a way to keep both Qbs beyond this year. Russ may be the mentorship Fields needs to become a great. Truly feels like the drama from the fans and talking heads isnt even remotely whats taking place on the team.
I’ve been saying this they have bonded in the locker room and you can tell on the field… just the fact that he’s here with Cam speaks volumes! Locker room has to be tight for success on the field. I’m excited for our team! I love this team
@@Ahtaht227 they tip toeing fine lines. I hope the feel goods and dynamic stays good. I got a feeling when Russ is healthy he might take over at QB. If that happens I hope JF takes it in stride and continues to grow and improve. Itd be great to get both of them on the field. we could be the most dynamic team in the NFL. lots of fine lines. and lots of people will say thats crazy talk. but here we are doing things they said we couldnt do to begin w/.
Corny for sure but I’m glad Fields is learning from him, he’s still appreciated, unlike some fans who are hating on Russ for absolutely no reason. We need them both right now 🖤💛
There was a huge part of Chicago fans who still rode for Justin and I always loved that. I’m a Buckeye/Steeler fan so having him is like a dream come true for me but I’m glad he was loved by Bears fans too.
I was not happy when we trade for Fields. I think he`s a runningback with a big arm. In Chicago I saw him just look to his first option than run after a second. But now I`m a big supporter of him cause he really showing signs of progressions week by week. Go trough his options than run when nobodys open - or just stand a second longer and find the open man. That`s really impressive and I hope we found our future qb.
@@Standgedicht ya all he needed was some good coaching and a competent cast. He’s a great kid that just works hard and wants to win so bad. He is only going to get better I know it.. my comment was towards bears fans more though. There’s a lot of them that just jump on every post of his to just hate on him I just don’t understand it. If I wasn’t a fan I would have just said good riddance and that’s it. I would not seek out every post to hate. The internet made irrelevant people think their opinions matter lol
Love seeing this! I feel like as Justin comes out of his shell more and starts building chemistry and relationships with the guys he’ll really start to get comfortable and shine more. Look forward to seeing if he’s our future QB going foward. Huge fan since Ohio State. #HereWeGo
As a Bears fan, i will be watching every single Steelers game and after show! Tomlin personality always been hilarious to me so this was an easy decision to lock in on the Steelers #TeamFields 💛🖤💛🖤💛🖤
I'm just glad my Steelers was listening to me Lol to get Fields. He went to the right team and im hoping TJ Watt can be Defense Player of the Year . ✊🏾
Justin Fields fan here. We still love you in Chicago bro. We knew what we had when they drafted you unfortunately they didn’t have the personnel to develop you. Wish you all the success and hope your God given talent takes you as far as it will go. Rooting for you 100%!! 👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾💯
Steelers fans listen to Justin speak on the St. Brown Brothers podcast/show. You'll like him even more than you guys already do! Congrats and take good care of him!
Yup. Just converted into a Steelers fan this season. Can't believe the Bears and (a good amount) of our fanbase slandered Justin the way they did. And now they're surprised 😂anyone who has a clue about football knew Caleb had some red flags from college. He has a tendency to be erratic (see Notre Dame game), questionable pocket presence, and trying to play hero ball sometimes. And the Bears are plugging in this raw quarterback with a below average O-line... everyone shoulda seen this coming. Now he still has time to grow, but man has he not looked like a #1 pick! Good luck Pittsburgh! Hope Justin makes it into the playoffs with you guys! If your young O-line can hold up, you'll be golden
Fields might not be the typical vocal leader you have at QB. I like his calm, positive energy. He seems like a real humble dude making the most of his situation. Keep doing what you are doing Fields!
Love ya, Cam. Watching you and the crew every Sunday keeps me going in this life. It's one of the very few things I still look forward to. And now, after finding your show here, I have even more to look forward to. Thanks, man. Good luck on Sunday and stay safe 🖤💛
Like his demeanor.seems calm.and with a 17 game season I think it will serve the team well.just keep building this thing and play your best ball down the stretch
My first watch, loved the show. I subscribed and shared. Loved the Justin interview. I'm a Buckeye in Columbus so you know us folks in Buckeye Nation love our guys and we follow and support all of your careers because you blessed us with your talent and became part of Buckeye Nation. We loved Cam and Justin, gee, seems like Cam was just playing in the shoe. We are so happy Justin found a great organization, great coaches, and the players, and the History. We all saw Chicago was a Shit Show I gas The Lord wanted him to go through. Now he put him in Pittsburgh and he is playing so well, Buckeye Nation is behind him and it looks like he now has a good fit and is home. Just keep playing the way you are you don't have to take chances, it's simple just keep moving the chains no matter if you just pick defenses apart with the middle and short passes. Remember at Michigan The Buckeyes kept using the quick slants and outs and screens and the ball was in receivers hands so fast they just ran by the defense. What I have learned watching you being precise getting the ball out of your hand in 2.7 seconds or less, and not fumbling nor taking sacks you are playing like you did at Ohio State. Just show patience, and after you dink and dunk them you can throw that long bomb that you always threw so accurate. Cam you have made Buckeye Nation so proud for so many years. You are a Hall of Famer. Not sure if they got you in the Ohio State one yet, if not, it will be. Justine can you please do the O-H- sign when you score. We love that when our Buckeyes do that, it shows us you are proud to be part of Buckeye Nation. C.J does it some as do the Bosa boys and the one that has done it most is ZEKE. Of course some of our guys do it from time to time. Anyway, great show, loved the fun y'all were having and that it was in a casual environment. We be watching and supporting y'all. God Bless You. Come to Columbus and catch a game on your bye week, we love seeing our Buckeyes on the field and in the Stadium.
I came to the comments to say the same thing. It seems pretty simple that the locker room is for the players and coaches. The NFL needs to set some policy, and if they can't be bothered I'm sure the billionaire owners can set some rules at their own venues.
I was actually happy Justin Fields through that interception. Only because we saw his reaction to it. It was obviously going to happen at some point in his career. You cannot be perfect forever. And it didn't Shake him at all. His resolve did not change. He actually came back better. And that was great to see
Fields is funny as hell. He picked Pitt for coaching before Cam even finished the question 😂😂😂. Bet if he wear that ski mask with GP one game, he’ll go for 300+ while GP go for 100+ 😂
Pretty cool to see how many bears fans watched this and even became secondary fans of Pittsburgh because of JF. Haven't followed him until he got here but at the very least i love his positive attitude.
That’s pookie😍😍 i’m so happy on the Steelers and I know he’s gonna go even farther I’m so happy with what he’s done already and how he’s grown with a team that actually supports and loves him here we go🖤💛🖤💛
Buckeye/Steelers fan here, having Justin has literally been a dream come true for me. I love when Buckeyes come to the black and gold, Cam, Shazier, Santonio, now my favorite OSU QB. I wish him nothing but the best, I hope so badly he can become a Steelers legend too!
As a bears fan, I already knew Justin would thrive somewhere else. Seeing his ups and downs here really hurt when you knew coaching was the problem. I'm glad he got to hear us chant "We want Fields." It's still Da Bears all the way, but I'm rooting for the Steelers too. Nothing would make me happier than seeing Justin win it all. I think my Bears will be good in the coming weeks, but the Steelers are undeniable. KEEP GOING
Great show Cam and congrats on your extension. This Colts game and your highlights against big Q will be looked at on your road to the HOF induction. Throw Q into Richardson and Taylor to put an exclamation point on your outstanding career. God bless your big heart sir, it shows on and off the field.
I laughed when he said “don’t have any expectations” (what he’d tell himself draft day) I was like welp pretty spot assessment of the bears organization they will help you nowhere with nothing!
I believe Mike Tomlin knew that back in the day that Russell Wilson kind of mentored Justin Fields when he was in college. And when he had the chance to get both of them. Knowing that Russell Wilson would not be the cube of the future. Because of his age. Nothing against him. But that we had them both here and he could physically Mentor Justin fields. It was the perfect marriage between a young QB and an older experience QB with talent. Mike Tomlin is totally underrated for some of the things he really does. Like he had to have known that. Also, like every time when we would play the Ravens and he would yell at Patrick queen, you're not a raven. Knowing one day Patrick Queen would be in his defense. Mike Tomlin just has so much clout with a lot of these players that are not even on his team. He's so underrated for that.
Let`s be honest: Nobodys knows in what shape Russ really is. We don`t get the Russ from 2015 here. Sure, he`s a proven winner and champion but I don`t think he can handle the actual situation. He`s tending to hold the ball to long and behind this line he would maybe sacked a dozen times. Let Fields start and see how far we can go with him. What I fear is the drama. Russ is a proven champion but also a proven diva. I don`t think he`s willing to sit the whole season. Cause he need a new contract and on the bench...You know what I mean.
Great interview! Justin got that Steelers aura. I seen since he was at Ohio State. I’m in shock we got him here! I wished we had draft in 21 though. 🤷🏾♂️
That commentary around 1530ish regarding Roasting, that's team mentality / peer pressure /tip and trick trade talk/ bonding/ Team Building at it's best. Humor helps.😉 Good episode fellas!
Good work Cam nice to see this side of Justin Fields been a big fan of his since THEE Ohio State university days!! Excited for the present and the future with this young superstar. Keep up the good work. Go Steelers!!
Love ya Cam! I was in stadium and had no voice at the end as usual! Rewatching the broadcast, I love the way the D is playing. I watched you specifically, you abused that Chargers line. I love it , especially for the Yinzers that questioned paying a “Vet”, but you look as dominant as I have ever seen you. Two men, no problem…pro bowl lineman, I watched you literally throw him aside…impressive sir

“We want Fields” - the last words he heard from us. He knows we bears fans always got his back.
LMAO well Steelers gonna be winning super bowls with Justin so I guess bears fans are gonna have to experience that.
Didn’t the owner say he traded him to Pittsburgh bc he asked to be?
Steelers Nation this interview was entertaining to get to know Justin Fields more this guy is humble and fits the organization perfect! Wishing a successful season!! #HEREWEGO!!
@@juanmorrow72 that’s why he was so loved by bears fans dudes pure class and works his ass off never a distraction just works
Justin if you read this... I have been a fan of yours for so long and to see you in the black and yellow has been a literal dream come true. Keep your head up and eyes forward and this city and team will embrace you for the next 10-15 years and then beyond for the rest of your life....oh and if you sign a long term deal in the future make them give you your #1!!!! it isn't officially retired!
This is the best interview I've seen of Justin. No better person to interview him than a fellow Georgia-boy Ohio State alumn.
I think we found our QB .. Now we're gonna win some football games & for years to come..it's a good time to be a Steelers fan..let's gooooo..
Go STEELERS.!!!
I hope so!!!!
Winning a playoff game would be nice...
Me too. He’s gonna be better than Lamar.
@@Standgedichthe’s going to chill…
Just a couple of Buckeyes, showing why that Program… From Tressel to Meyer to Day… produces BOTH exceptional young men and BALLERS.
My wish would be Russell stays the back up and just rides out his career in Pittsburgh helping Justin and this team…he’s a good dude and would be an awesome back up QB
Not gonna happen, he didn’t sign to be a backup
@@skeetaman3049 trust me I get that but he also prolly didn’t expect to be hurt to start the season. I mean beggars can’t be choosers. Play nice here in Pittsburgh and hope next year some teams takes a flyer on him
@@davidtaylor2447 Russ didn't beg to come. He should ask for a trade to Browns or Raiders next year if they choose to keep Justin. Fans please don't turn on Justin if a Super Bowl never comes
@@SamsP.O.V-hd7rb I mean obviously he didn’t beg, it’s an expression I wasn’t being literal and idk if we can even trade him next year cuz he only signed a 1 yr deal with us so yeah, my point stands just be a good soldier and maybe GM around the league will take notice and sign him to be a starter but yeah JF is the QB of the future for the Steelers
@@davidtaylor2447 point is Russ could've went to other teams. It's what Tomlin told him. As I said if no Super Bowl comes from Justin people need to still stand 10 toes down
OUR FRANCHISE QB1
I would rather have Fields than Caleb straight up
@@BeepsAndBeats absolutely
How fast Justin said “Pittsburgh” for the coaching question cracked me up. I LOVE 💕 Justin. Go bucks!!
I was going to say the same thing, no hesitation when asked about the coaching and players.
One of the most likable players in the league and so so talented the kid deserves the world and i’m so glad he’s finally getting an opportunity in a competent franchise
man as a Bears fan I hope Justin thrives in PIT. Great interview!
Love that Justin acknowledged how much he’s learning from Russ and how helpful Russ has been. He’s a good dude and both QBs are starters.
Justin is awesome. Let's go Pittsburgh
I absolutely love love how Justin Fields mentioned coming through the 4 pit tunnels and seeing pittsburgh. Because hands down, that is the best scene of pittsburgh. Mount Washington is great. But when you don't know what you're expecting and you come through the tunnel and all of a sudden Pittsburgh appears it is the best city in the world.
Facts it’s breathtaking. I’ve lived here my whole life and it still amazes me every time I come through..

Thanks
Blows my mind their producer doesnt take the time to do this. Thanks!
✊🏽
Not all heroes wear capes!
Thank you, Chicago, for letting this young man show his talent with a team and fan base that will support and appreciate him.
From Justin Fields point of view this is a godsend.
He has been able to start slowly, and begin to showcase his talent for a team that favors him personally, favors him scheme wise, and with a fanbase that is second to none that already loves him.
What a turnaround in less than one year.
Who is Justin? For the blind, he is the vision. For the hungry, he is the chef. For the thirsty, he is the water. If Justin thinks, I agree. If Justin speaks, I'm listening. If Justin has one fan, it is me. If Justin has no fans, I don't exist. If there were a starship, he would be its captain. He is H2M
Nice!
What the fuck 😂
I love seeing this in random ass places. It's peak copypasta and throws people that haven't seen it for a loop.
Ok

Justin Fields looks so much happier now he’s away from Chicago Bears. I’ve said he needed to leave the Bears organization since the game where Browns sacked Justin multiple times all day long -just awful for QBs in Chicago. Go Steelers and Justin. Happy for you guys!
The feeling is mutual.
Sign this man, he the future. And he still what? 25

@@jordancook20 your English is fine. His is not. Only black people omit the word is. I am rooting for black people.

Fields and this defense can go the distance and beat anyone. Fields can rush for 50 yards or throw for 50 yards. He can do everything Lamar Jackson can do except Fields has a better deep ball and throws better on the run . Steelers need to sign Fields asap to a long term extension.
Justin Field Goal isn’t doing anything. He’s averaging 17pts per game which close to dead last in the league. Chris Boswell(the kicker) and the defense are carrying him
nah lamar is an assassin im a steeler fan but JF has a LONG way to go to put him in that boat Lamar a 2 time MVP for a reason dude is locked in
that being said lamar knows whos his daddy is and that is the steelers
Only 3 games in calm down
man I love this team. I love the dynamic between Russ and JF. It would be amazing If we can figure out a way to keep both Qbs beyond this year. Russ may be the mentorship Fields needs to become a great. Truly feels like the drama from the fans and talking heads isnt even remotely whats taking place on the team.
I’ve been saying this they have bonded in the locker room and you can tell on the field… just the fact that he’s here with Cam speaks volumes! Locker room has to be tight for success on the field. I’m excited for our team! I love this team
@@Ahtaht227 they tip toeing fine lines. I hope the feel goods and dynamic stays good. I got a feeling when Russ is healthy he might take over at QB. If that happens I hope JF takes it in stride and continues to grow and improve. Itd be great to get both of them on the field. we could be the most dynamic team in the NFL. lots of fine lines. and lots of people will say thats crazy talk. but here we are doing things they said we couldnt do to begin w/.
@@Nate-zm6bd he seems ready to learn I think he understands he could be the future but like he said he’s just taking it in stride.. day by day
Shout-out to Russell Wilson too, I never hated him, always thought he was corny & a simp but seems to be a GREAT human being & he's loved🤷🏿♂️
Corny for sure but I’m glad Fields is learning from him, he’s still appreciated, unlike some fans who are hating on Russ for absolutely no reason. We need them both right now 🖤💛
@@HellxAngelz yup!
The corny and simp stuff was always wrong. Guy has been a class act his entire career
The Chi still loves you, Justin fields, and nothing will change that ..
💯Respect!!!
Fax were not embracing gayleb chokiams, gayleb fumbliams, gayleb no ranked win iams,
JF1
There was a huge part of Chicago fans who still rode for Justin and I always loved that. I’m a Buckeye/Steeler fan so having him is like a dream come true for me but I’m glad he was loved by Bears fans too.
@jimmy_butler lol I liked fields but he was a fumble machine and barely won while he was in Chicago 😂
I agree. The media should not be in the locker room
For sure, have always thought it was weird that they’re in there while guys are trying to get dressed
Idk how people hate on Justin the kid is all class..
Fax,,he's so much better than Gayleb chokiams
@@jimmy_butler 💯💪🏼
I was not happy when we trade for Fields. I think he`s a runningback with a big arm. In Chicago I saw him just look to his first option than run after a second. But now I`m a big supporter of him cause he really showing signs of progressions week by week. Go trough his options than run when nobodys open - or just stand a second longer and find the open man. That`s really impressive and I hope we found our future qb.
@@Standgedicht ya all he needed was some good coaching and a competent cast. He’s a great kid that just works hard and wants to win so bad. He is only going to get better I know it.. my comment was towards bears fans more though. There’s a lot of them that just jump on every post of his to just hate on him I just don’t understand it. If I wasn’t a fan I would have just said good riddance and that’s it. I would not seek out every post to hate. The internet made irrelevant people think their opinions matter lol
Shout out to you humble bears fan.
Smh they did my boy filthy in chicago. I'm glad he landed in Pittsburgh
Not a big fan of Rodgers but impressed to hear he was so cool to Fields
Great player and even better person. Cams the Man!
Love seeing this! I feel like as Justin comes out of his shell more and starts building chemistry and relationships with the guys he’ll really start to get comfortable and shine more. Look forward to seeing if he’s our future QB going foward. Huge fan since Ohio State. #HereWeGo
This is a QB and player that I'm good with my son looking up to.
Definitely agree
That seems a bit over dramatic but yeah he seems like a good guy.
Big facts he’s the Steelers future.
@@davidmitchell6873no he’s a humble role model and hard worker no complaining
Justin Fields is an awesome dude
And that gentleman.. is our current and future QB. ❤
Love Justin even more now and love this podcast. Between Cam and Ben we have 2 great Steelers podcasts.
I love the dynamic of our players and coaches have together. We are all a huge family in Pittsburgh 🖤💛
As a Bears fan, i will be watching every single Steelers game and after show! Tomlin personality always been hilarious to me so this was an easy decision to lock in on the Steelers #TeamFields 💛🖤💛🖤💛🖤
Love this team! We have our franchise QB! Proud of this kid!
I'm just glad my Steelers was listening to me Lol to get Fields. He went to the right team and im hoping TJ Watt can be Defense Player of the Year . ✊🏾
26:55 Fields interview. What we all clicked for with all do respect Cam. Congrats on passing Deebo in all time Steelers sacks
😂😂😂😂 true
He is so chiseled now. Strong and flourishing. Miss you in Chicago Fields. 🖤💛🖤💛
Justin Fields fan here. We still love you in Chicago bro. We knew what we had when they drafted you unfortunately they didn’t have the personnel to develop you. Wish you all the success and hope your God given talent takes you as far as it will go. Rooting for you 100%!! 👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾💯
Cam and QB1? Psyched for this one. LOVE IT!
This was a must needed episode
Steelers fans listen to Justin speak on the St. Brown Brothers podcast/show. You'll like him even more than you guys already do! Congrats and take good care of him!
Justin is a great dude man, wish him the most success. Chicago did him wrong smh.
Yup. Just converted into a Steelers fan this season. Can't believe the Bears and (a good amount) of our fanbase slandered Justin the way they did. And now they're surprised 😂anyone who has a clue about football knew Caleb had some red flags from college. He has a tendency to be erratic (see Notre Dame game), questionable pocket presence, and trying to play hero ball sometimes. And the Bears are plugging in this raw quarterback with a below average O-line... everyone shoulda seen this coming. Now he still has time to grow, but man has he not looked like a #1 pick!
Good luck Pittsburgh! Hope Justin makes it into the playoffs with you guys! If your young O-line can hold up, you'll be golden
Fields sucks.
Fields might not be the typical vocal leader you have at QB. I like his calm, positive energy. He seems like a real humble dude making the most of his situation. Keep doing what you are doing Fields!
If JF goes into indy and plays even better im signing him asap
Keep shining Justin, we love ya
Love ya, Cam. Watching you and the crew every Sunday keeps me going in this life. It's one of the very few things I still look forward to. And now, after finding your show here, I have even more to look forward to. Thanks, man. Good luck on Sunday and stay safe 🖤💛
Happy for Fields! He’s a special talent. Glad he landed in the right place
Justin’s a good interview. You can get a good read he is a good dude.
Like his demeanor.seems calm.and with a 17 game season I think it will serve the team well.just keep building this thing and play your best ball down the stretch
We miss you in chicago jf1. Im now a Steeler fan lol . Go Steelers
My first watch, loved the show. I subscribed and shared. Loved the Justin interview. I'm a Buckeye in Columbus so you know us folks in Buckeye Nation love our guys and we follow and support all of your careers because you blessed us with your talent and became part of Buckeye Nation. We loved Cam and Justin, gee, seems like Cam was just playing in the shoe. We are so happy Justin found a great organization, great coaches, and the players, and the History. We all saw Chicago was a Shit Show I gas The Lord wanted him to go through. Now he put him in Pittsburgh and he is playing so well, Buckeye Nation is behind him and it looks like he now has a good fit and is home. Just keep playing the way you are you don't have to take chances, it's simple just keep moving the chains no matter if you just pick defenses apart with the middle and short passes. Remember at Michigan The Buckeyes kept using the quick slants and outs and screens and the ball was in receivers hands so fast they just ran by the defense. What I have learned watching you being precise getting the ball out of your hand in 2.7 seconds or less, and not fumbling nor taking sacks you are playing like you did at Ohio State. Just show patience, and after you dink and dunk them you can throw that long bomb that you always threw so accurate. Cam you have made Buckeye Nation so proud for so many years. You are a Hall of Famer. Not sure if they got you in the Ohio State one yet, if not, it will be. Justine can you please do the O-H- sign when you score. We love that when our Buckeyes do that, it shows us you are proud to be part of Buckeye Nation. C.J does it some as do the Bosa boys and the one that has done it most is ZEKE. Of course some of our guys do it from time to time. Anyway, great show, loved the fun y'all were having and that it was in a casual environment. We be watching and supporting y'all. God Bless You. Come to Columbus and catch a game on your bye week, we love seeing our Buckeyes on the field and in the Stadium.
Agree with Cam on the locker room thing. It's ridiculous the NFL hasn't addressed this.
I came to the comments to say the same thing. It seems pretty simple that the locker room is for the players and coaches. The NFL needs to set some policy, and if they can't be bothered I'm sure the billionaire owners can set some rules at their own venues.
I am a OSU fan, I like all teams that have Ohio State Players, CJ Texans, Fields Steelers, Harrison Jr. Cardinals, JK Dobbin Chargers...etc..etc...
Talk to em brother
Love this guy. Keep shining Justin.
I was actually happy Justin Fields through that interception. Only because we saw his reaction to it. It was obviously going to happen at some point in his career. You cannot be perfect forever. And it didn't Shake him at all. His resolve did not change. He actually came back better. And that was great to see
Awesome interview. Fields is the GUY
Fields is funny as hell. He picked Pitt for coaching before Cam even finished the question 😂😂😂. Bet if he wear that ski mask with GP one game, he’ll go for 300+ while GP go for 100+ 😂
Would love a postgame pic with them in the shiestys too 😂
Pretty cool to see how many bears fans watched this and even became secondary fans of Pittsburgh because of JF. Haven't followed him until he got here but at the very least i love his positive attitude.
The Hawaiian Punch and Area 51 are my favorite nicknames for Mr. Herbig!
That’s pookie😍😍 i’m so happy on the Steelers and I know he’s gonna go even farther I’m so happy with what he’s done already and how he’s grown with a team that actually supports and loves him here we go🖤💛🖤💛
Buckeye/Steelers fan here, having Justin has literally been a dream come true for me. I love when Buckeyes come to the black and gold, Cam, Shazier, Santonio, now my favorite OSU QB. I wish him nothing but the best, I hope so badly he can become a Steelers legend too!
As a bears fan, I already knew Justin would thrive somewhere else. Seeing his ups and downs here really hurt when you knew coaching was the problem. I'm glad he got to hear us chant "We want Fields." It's still Da Bears all the way, but I'm rooting for the Steelers too. Nothing would make me happier than seeing Justin win it all. I think my Bears will be good in the coming weeks, but the Steelers are undeniable. KEEP GOING
Here we to Steelers!!!
Keep up the good work JF2!
I’ll be watching this after my mid term in a hour 😂😂🔥🔥, thanks for getting him on the pod cam 💯
Great interview with Justin. Keep up the great work and get us another Lombardi! Thanks guys!
That’s our QB1 right there!
Justin’s gona be great for us for many years 💛🖤
We love you cam can’t wait to see how our season ends
And for Coach T haters, these players cannot say enough about him.
Great show Cam and congrats on your extension. This Colts game and your highlights against big Q will be looked at on your road to the HOF induction. Throw Q into Richardson and Taylor to put an exclamation point on your outstanding career. God bless your big heart sir, it shows on and off the field.
Thanks for this interview! Never really heard Justin just talk. He seems like a seriously good guy.
Great episode, love Cam and Justin both
Justin said he learned "how to manuever" at Chicago... LOL yeah no doubt with their history of supporting quaterbacks (or lack thereof)
I laughed when he said “don’t have any expectations” (what he’d tell himself draft day) I was like welp pretty spot assessment of the bears organization they will help you nowhere with nothing!
@@deeee4663exactly 😂
I see fields, i click, love the episode cam
I CANNOT wait for in season hard knocks and get to see some of Mike Tomlin behind the scenes
Great interview Cam! Let’s go Justin!🖤💛
I believe Mike Tomlin knew that back in the day that Russell Wilson kind of mentored Justin Fields when he was in college. And when he had the chance to get both of them. Knowing that Russell Wilson would not be the cube of the future. Because of his age. Nothing against him. But that we had them both here and he could physically Mentor Justin fields. It was the perfect marriage between a young QB and an older experience QB with talent. Mike Tomlin is totally underrated for some of the things he really does. Like he had to have known that. Also, like every time when we would play the Ravens and he would yell at Patrick queen, you're not a raven. Knowing one day Patrick Queen would be in his defense. Mike Tomlin just has so much clout with a lot of these players that are not even on his team. He's so underrated for that.
And he got both of them for basically nothing this year to see how it actually works out.. I truly think JF can be the future of this team.
Russell Wilson is good but this Kid Is The Furure..
Russ is Hall of Fame bound, he still deserves a shot, but you're correct
Let`s be honest: Nobodys knows in what shape Russ really is. We don`t get the Russ from 2015 here. Sure, he`s a proven winner and champion but I don`t think he can handle the actual situation. He`s tending to hold the ball to long and behind this line he would maybe sacked a dozen times. Let Fields start and see how far we can go with him. What I fear is the drama. Russ is a proven champion but also a proven diva. I don`t think he`s willing to sit the whole season. Cause he need a new contract and on the bench...You know what I mean.
I agree and I really wanted Russ to play and ball out.
@@StandgedichtFields is gonna win the job at this point.
Great interview! Justin got that Steelers aura. I seen since he was at Ohio State. I’m in shock we got him here! I wished we had draft in 21 though. 🤷🏾♂️
Brotha Justin's a class act!
Very nice to get to hear from Justin. Great Pod.
That commentary around 1530ish regarding Roasting, that's team mentality / peer pressure /tip and trick trade talk/ bonding/ Team Building at it's best. Humor helps.😉 Good episode fellas!
yessssyuhh next great steeler qb💯💯💯so happy for justin keeep eating 2!!!! SUPERBOWL YEAR
The media definitely needs boundaries. I've always found locker room interviews to be very weird. Also, I love the Heavyweights reference haha
Good work Cam nice to see this side of Justin Fields been a big fan of his since THEE Ohio State university days!! Excited for the present and the future with this young superstar. Keep up the good work. Go Steelers!!
Love ya Cam! I was in stadium and had no voice at the end as usual! Rewatching the broadcast, I love the way the D is playing. I watched you specifically, you abused that Chargers line. I love it , especially for the Yinzers that questioned paying a “Vet”, but you look as dominant as I have ever seen you. Two men, no problem…pro bowl lineman, I watched you literally throw him aside…impressive sir
