Warren is Steelers Digest Player of the Week

Dude you are complaining about about a few touches a game. I do notice, and don't say it's not true....when Najee gets stacked up in the back field....it's Najee is running with lead feet, or some such, but when Warren has the same thing happen....like two in a row at the end of the game.....silence. LoL. ...., but that's the difference.....it's way harder to run when that's what the D expects, and that usually the runs Najee gets.

 

I think people know how a message board works. It’s just humorous when someone uses the “Opinion card” to say really dumb ****.

 

Dude, if you can’t see that Warren is a much more explosive runner than Harris then I can’t help you. He’s averaging more than a yard per carry this season and in his career than Harris. He’s much more decisive when he hits the hole AND HE DOESN’T FREAKING JUMP UP IN THE AIR WHEN HE NEEDS A COUPLE OF TOUGH YARDS FOR THE FIRST DOWN, HE LOWERS HIS HEAD AND SHOULDERS AND GETS IT DONE!!! Like I said, there’s a role for both, but you trying to give all the credit to Najee for Warren’s explosive runs is just ridiculous and further confirms that you simply like to argue and try to show everyone on this board how smart you are because you devour hours and hours of tape and consume the all 22 for breakfast, lunch and dinner while the rest of us poor, unknowledgeable fans only watch the game once and read articles.

 

I would say that most backs would tell you that the more carries they have, the more they get into the feel of them game. They all want "fed".
I don't think either one of them will get the carries they want but it is taking punishment off their bodies and it's actually working. If Canada can continue to be creative in the run game using both guys, I see no reason to change anything.

 

And it’s also humorous when someone like, I don’t know, YOU, drops into posts and leaves absolutely nonsensical comments that add no value to the discussion. I know you like to accuse others of trolling on this board, but in that regard you’re the biggest troll here.

 

This. This. This.
It's working.

 

I will say, the whole jumping thing drives me bananas. He's done it successfully, at times, throughout his collegiate and pro career. However, at times it feels as if he's got no feel for when to do it.

 

Same exact things people in Dallas were saying. Exactly, and Pollard went from a 5.5 yard per carry average to a 3.9 per carry average as soon as He became the man. You do realize there is a difference of when You run the ball matters. Like at the end of the game when Warren was in....they knew He was getting the ball....what He have ....2 Carries for a half a yard. That's the difference of running the ball when they expect it, and when they don't. I don't see why this is so hard to understand.

 

Wow…can you give Warren any credit? I don’t understand how someone so well studied can’t see what Warren is doing and give him some credit for that. So Pollard basically went from being Jaylen Warren to being Najee Harris who happens to currently have a 3.9 YPC average. I’m assuming that you think that basically sucks? Or is Najee’s pedestrian YPC somehow Jaylen’s fault and you can prove it in the all 22?

 

No....I'm just saying it's way different getting the carries when it's a obvious run down , and when it's not. How do You not understand that??? Again....how many yards did Warren get in those two carries at the end when they knew he was getting the ball??? LoL
I love Warren....I have no problem with the rbs just like it is. You are the one who wants to change it all. Even though it's working well.

 

This is my thread so sorry I popped in. I can have a discussion about the Steelers with a rational person all day. I’m not much on the chicken little stuff so I’m going to poke fun. Get some thicker skin.

 

How do you get I want to change it all? I want to flip the script and give Jaylen 18-20 carries and Najee 12-15 carries. And you keep bringing up the two carries at the end when they knew he was getting the ball. The guy averaged 7YPC but I guess on all of those other carries the D had no idea he would be getting the ball.

 

We’ve seen this movie many times. The backup looks good backing the starter up, but when he becomes the starter things seem to tail off. Would that happen to Warren? I don’t know?

 

My skin is plenty thick. Very rarely do you have a rational discussion with anyone. You usually just drop in with “who” or “sign him, sign everyone” or some other snide remark that has nothing to do with the discussion at hand and just serves to provoke. But hey, you do you.

 

Go eat a Snickers

 

None of us know for sure but I think he’s earned the right to be a more prominent part of the offense. The coaches seem to recognize that too given that his touches have been steadily increasing.

 

Well if it's not the way it is....I would say that would be changing it, or I'm I wrong about what changing means?? You do realize Najee only had one whole carry more than Warren don't You??? Also You keep saying how Warren is so much more faster....yet still Najee has the longest run...
Edit , and Najee has the longest reception also.

 

I’m not even worried about the running game right now. It’s the passing game that needs some serious work.

 

And on that note…I wholeheartedly agree!!!

 

The coaches are finally starting to realize that Jaylen deserves to be a much bigger part of the gameplan. Glad to see it. The longest run does not necessarily equate to the fastest runner, you know that. Clearly, Warren plays faster. I know it was preseason, but do you think Najee would have taken that run to the house like Warren did against the Bills starters. Jordan Poyer seemed to have the angle but Warren showed a burst there that Najee hasn’t shown.

 

So he doesn't have the longest run, or the longest reception this year, but because You say...he is the most how did you say....explosive??? Hmm yet nothing shows this yet. How about since You don't believe when We run the ball matters for some reason...we just agreed to disagree , and I will continue to watch You down Najee every time he's caught in the backfield, and be really quiet when Warren has the same done.

 

Stop it. I don’t down Najee every time he’s downed in the backfield. Every RB has negative plays. I do down Najee when he dances in the backfield like Leveon Bell and tries to get the edge like FWP and loses yardage when there’s 4-5 yards if he’ll just cut it inside. I’m sure you’ve seen that in your film study. And for crying out loud, Najee, enough with the jumping already!

 

Well, of course. I was just having fun with with a comment.

Now return that facepalm to jeh's account.

 

Warren clearly has more juice and a bigger burst than cement shoes but I think they compliment each other well and it’s hard to say how Warren would look as the bell cow. As other have said it’s not the running game that is an issue it’s the community college level passing game. Apologies to most community colleges.

 

I do worry about him holding up to the pounding of being a lead back. It is possible he could handle it, but we don't know. We have seen Harris hold up to that sort of workload.
