People are freaking out over Kaleb Johnson's slow start

You can say it's not impressive to get 1,000 the last four years yet no other RB has done it in that time . I know one thing neither Warren nor Kaleb are going to rush for 1,200 yards and catch 70 passes in this offense, behind a bad OL and below average passing game.

 

Funny thing, lots of backup RBs have a higher ypc than the starters. That's what happens when you touch the ball twice as much. Fans of teams do this all the time.
I hope Warren is all that, but until I see him get the majority of the snaps for a few games, I will reserve my judgment, and hope He is awesome.

 

I don't think you'll have to worry about it. Rodgers is not what he was, but He's no Trubisky, Pickett, Fields, or Wilson either. They won't be stacking the line too much against him, at least not until Rodgers shows He can't make them pay.

 

Well, look who is only averaging 3.9 YPC .

 

I'm cool with it. I'm not cool with the one with the 1.5 ypc though

Please don't try to bolster a weak argument by presenting false facts. That Harris was injured in a fluke accident does not bolster your previous arguments.

The Steelers could have had a rock-solid pair of running backs at a relatively cheap cost and they could have used that third-round pick on another asset. They chose to weaken the roster and hope a third-rounder can play a significant role as a rookie. I like Johnson. I hope he can. Maybe the unnecessary gamble the team took before the 2024 season will pay off. Maybe it won't.

Oh wait. You think Warren has proven something. Did you catch the poor ball security last night?

They don't bring in a 41-year-old quarterback in a desperate attempt to be relevant once the playoffs start every year.

 

Funny how you ignore the statistics you don't like.

 

I was just having some fun with it some fans want to bash Najee for doing the same thing . Yeah, Warren didn't look good in his debut as RB1.

 

I dont think Warren is a feature #1 back. Johnson is not ready for that role yet, needs to be a more reliable blocker. Look for RB by committee, Gainwell, Warren, Johnson and Sermon and maybe Nichols on PS as depth

 

I think you’re right. Expecting a split backfield with Johnson featuring more and more as the season goes on.

Hopefully Jaylen Warren can stay on the field this year

 

Right now I agree, I would like to see Warren pull it out, but we will have to wait, and see. Maybe they will go with whomever has the hot hand per game.

 

One thing that Tomlin hates more than anything is turning the ball over. If Warren fumbles early on against the Jets he'll find his rear end parked firmly on the bench.

 

With no blocking and one of the worst centers in Kendrick Green his rookie year, Kaleb Johnson isn't putting up 1,200 yards and catching 70 passes.

 

Reading comprehension is hard for some where did I claim Harris is good as Bettis?

 

Warren better stop fumbling if he wants to be RB1.

 

I don't give a crap about 3.9 YPC, not many lead RBs would be successful behind a crappy OL.

 

Nobody claimed that. The concern is if the Steelers have anyone who can reproduce them. They don't have answers. They have a couple of question marks.

 

I thought his reason was obvious. It shows that y'all are missing the mark by dismissing Harris for having the same average.
