But Tomlin warned his opposite number Raheem Morris that he has a few tricks up his sleeve thanks to Fields’ unique talents.
“My friend Raheem Morris better be ready for a Justin Fields package,” Tomlin said on The Rich Eisen Show yesterday.
“There’s too much talent to be sitting around watching.”
“How in the hell do you think you’re cool talking to the media like, ‘Calm down, relax.’ Who do you think you are?” Stephen A. blasted.
“Have you not been watching you?
“This is how we know that life has got real comfortable for him, that he ain’t going home and really, really watching film. At least of himself.
“Because if you watched yourself there’s no way you turning up in Pittsburgh acting all nonchalant like everything is cool.
“You need to show up with a level of urgency like your job is on the line.
“You haven’t done a damn thing yet, you have a lot to prove. He needs to act like it.
“I don’t understand how it’s cool for you to sit up there with a smile on your face.
“You’re a Super Bowl champion, you’ve been the two Super Bowls in your career, you’re a nine-time pro bowler, you are fighting for your career with Justin Fields, who I think got a lot of problems.
“But he is smiling like he got his beautiful wife next to him and you about to go to a Taylor Swift concert or something.
