Bench Harris

Tired of watching this ****. Warren is the most explosive player we have on offense. Coaches are idiots.

 

Been saying this for awhile now. Najee looks like he is running in quick sand.

 

Warren might be the most violent runner I've ever seen. It's like he was born wearing a Steelers uniform

 

People who wanked about Tomlin running the wheels off of running backs now want Tomlin to run the wheels off of a running back by benching the other one! Smart!

 

Harris sucks. That 2nd down run might cost us the game. He'd be fine as a 3rd down back.

 

Why don't you and others go back to face book! That would be great.

 

Cant argue with this. I honestly think Warren can be a feature back. We certainly should have a back with him to help keep him fresh and healthy, but he needs to get the ball 15-20 times a game. He is just too good not to.

 

It's time to wash our hands of Najee. He's about the softest RB I've ever seen at his size.

 

He’s really good at jumping though.

 

Harris____________ 12 carries for 35 yards

Warren__________ 9 carries for 129 yards and a TD, This make 2 weeks in a row that Warren has rushed for over a 100 yards..... Has Harris rushed for a 100 yards all season?


Side note: DJ was targeted 8 times and caught 2 for 16 yards
Pickens was targeted 6 times and caught 4 for 35

 

yeah....this thread started.....LAST YEAR

 

he's done here. Warren gets the long term contract.

 

I guess once teams start game planning for Warren and he's getting hit in the backfield just like what happened to him today or when he goes out for a screen pass and is staring 3 guys in the face, then we'll say, "Well he's getting hit in the backfield!"

Is he the more explosive RB? Yes!

Does he benefit from Najee being the feature back? Yes!

Does he benefit from being a little shorter and lower center of gravity? Yes!

Did this team try Warren last year as a feature back to the same result as Najee? Yes!

Can all these things be true and you still get him and Najee touches to keep the defense guessing? Yes!

 

Funniest thing about this post is that Harris said the same thing after the game but I guess he was talking about Canada.

 

Warren has earned to be the starter but benching Najee is not a smart call. But I do wonder if the Steelers will ante up that 5th year option? At this point I would say no.

 

Who gives a f**k? Seriously. The running game was not the problem today and neither was Harris. Open your eyes.

 

Harris is reminding me of Trent Richardson.. Both are/were big bruising Alabama running backs with explosiveness who looked like they could do it all after their rookie years..

Warren was an undrafted rookie last year who was probably an afterthought for the majority of camp and early on in the season. He looks much stronger and seasoned this year. The oline has also improved their run blocking with the addition of Jones. It's helped Harris too, but Warren has looked like the better runner all season. If Warren was the 1st rounder and Harris the UDFA, this wouldn't even be up for discussion....

 

My eyes are open. Fans need to take off their black and gold colored blinders. Harris gets the ball, dances, gets tackled for a loss and absolutely kills drives. That late drive in the 4th quarter when we were about to be in field goal range was killed when Harris took another loss on 2nd down. Warren had the hot hand, but they kept turning to Harris first when it was late in the game and mattered most.

You don't literally bench Harris, but Warren should be the go-to guy. Short yardage or when he's fighting for the line of gain, he fights til the bitter end and rarely comes up short.

 

I agree with all that. But there are bigger issues at hand.

 

You can tell by the way defenses attack each of them. They are not game planning for Warren. Warren has the benefit of being 5'8"'- 5'9". Its the same thing I used to say with Baltimore and Rice. Defenders have to find him behind his blockers, then they automatically are losing the low man game with him. What I'm saying is that you need both in this offense to be successful. We know Warren is better 3rd down back, but I think you still start the game with Najee. Make defenses prepare for both and keep them honest.

 

Harris runs like he took a dump in his pants , that moran stutter stepped in his end zone almost caused a safety, what a loser , this Harris played hard his first year fighting for ever yard he’s a bum now !

 

It's not a matter of benching. You need both backs. But the split should be 75/25 in favor of Warren at this point.

 

Harris has bad vision, but his is still better than Richardson's lol Harris is better than Trent Richardson, but I can see the comparison. Similar issues, Harris has just had better results.

The real comparison is Mendenhall. They are about the same in terms of production and each of them had a killer RB taken shortly after they were drafted (CJ2K after Mendenhall and Etienne after Harris). In both cases the Steelers would've been better off with the other back.
