Did the locker room resist the movement when the Steelers looked over Justin Fields to Russell Wilson? Albert Breer, a national reporter, said recently, but Mark Caboley has pushed the story back. He said he had never heard of it from a player, but instead Breer heard it from another source.
“No, I mean, I wasn’t actually talking to Arthur Smith. Kaboly told fans at 93.7 When asked if he had heard the same about the locker room’s opinion on the shift from Wilson to Fields. “What I’m trying to tell you is where we know. [Breer] I got his information.”
If the former were healthy, he never said it completely that Arthur Smith hadn’t fallen in love with playing Wilson on the field, but he didn’t. He also highly praised Justin Fields, even after the Steelers shifted gears to Russell Wilson. Of course, reporting friction with Wilson later in the season doesn’t help. However, Kaboly hasn’t bought Breer that has insight into what players really think.
“It’s always strange to see people talking about what happens inside a locker room that hasn’t existed for 15 or 20 years,” he said. “You’re just receiving the man’s words about what a man’s view is. I didn’t notice anything unless I realized the facts.”
Of course, it’s possible that Kaboly doesn’t hear everything that needs to be heard. Perhaps there were some people in the locker room who liked Wilson and some who liked the field. It’s usually how these things go when a team makes big decisions.
Kaboly repeatedly stated that he never heard of a player that he didn’t want to move from Fields to Wilson. He added that he, by contrast, heard players agree to a move to trade George Pickens. In other words, we’d heard these opinions by now, as Wilson and the Field were already gone. “So you’d think it’s coming from Arthur Smith at that point,” he said.
Again, players are more likely to confide in an offensive coordinator than reporters. In theory, the player may have expressed his dissatisfaction with Smith about Russell Wilson and Justin Fields, and Smith may have told Brier.
Or you really don’t know anything about what players really feel. And of course, it’s no longer important as both Justin Fields and Russell Wilson are gone. What’s more relevant is clearly what the Steelers locker room feels about Aaron Rodgers. Both the idea of taking him with him and the fact that he is not here. There are already signs that many people are bored of it, and if so, you can hardly blame them.
