    Warren hit the hard hard with bad intentions for anyone trying to tackle him. Harris messes around when he gets the handbag. Bell used an extreme form of this running style but he had a better o line. This line needs Warren's running style because the o line can't hold their blocks.

    I like Najee Harris, but right now Warren obviously wants the ball, I say give him the ball and let him wear the defense down and let Najee come in and break their backs.... Warren obviously wants to play football and he is hungry!!

    I agree and even picked him on my fantasy team to stash away for later because I feel like harris is playing hurt and will eventually go down.

    Good point. I was thinking he has better vision but this makes sense.

    Definitely needs more playing time. Harris is slowly morphing into Benny Snell. Maybe his foot is worse than we know, but I’ve never been overly impressed with his instincts. His effort and physicality, yes, but not his instincts.

    Najee plays like he came out of the Iraq war - PTSD, beat to hell last year , not mentally in this thing.

    a one contract Steeler

    drafts have been failures for years.

    Tomlin and Colbert = BLAME ROONEY - he allows the CrapFest to continue

    I don't think Harris cares. But he's one of those number one picks that will start for that reason alone cause its clear this head coach can't tell what talent really is

    Harris isn't healthy, but that isn't entirely an excuse. He was terrible today.

    It certainly seemed as if Tomlin benched him in the second half today, which was the right call.

    Maybe it's just me, but sometimes it looks like he doesn't see the hole,or the play developing

    Never draft a RB in the 1st round unless you are a championship caliber team that is a RB away from winning it all.

    Harris actually started to do this last year. I thought it was because he was getting beat up at the line. However it has continued again, something is wrong and until it is fixed, the OC and Tomlin has to see this and quit running him up the middle time and time again especially when loosing 17 to 3. How are you going to win doing this. Meanwhile the Bills are passing every down when there still winning 24 to 3. You can't win doing this with this offense.

    I've noticed Harris never attempts to bounce it outside. He just runs it up the middle and gets engulfed by the D line/LBs.

    100% agree. A rb isnt going to fix the OLine. Rbs are a dime a dozen.

    I was yelling at the screen throughout the game at Najee to run with PURPOSE...but it didn't happen. But, again, why can't the coaching staff SEE what the rest of us are seeing? Najee needs to rest.

    Yeah he needs to rest until he is completely healed. He is rapidly turning into Trent Richardson.

    It's pretty bad when a UDFA RB is outplaying a 1st rounder.

    So bad.

    Rest him and Heyward till after the bye.

    I think a lot of our vets should get spelled A LOT more until we can really regroup and just have a 2nd half turn around to build upon for next season. With drafting in the first 3rd of the picks as opposed to the last 3rd.

    It’s a rebuild, restructure, recalibrate, refocus and return course that will right this drifting ship. The rudder has been broken.

    People think he was outstanding last year I mean he was decent but as usual over exaggerating by many. This year he’s awful granted an injury is most likely playing a part.
