    Thanks

    And to add insult to injury I’m in Switzerland where you can’t buy OTC meds like Tylenol or Imodium in a grocery you have to go to a pharmacy. And the closest pharmacy is a 30 minute train ride to a bigger town.

    My wife broke her wrist and we couldn’t find an emergency medic place or an x-ray. We literally took a train up into a ski town in the next country (Italy to Suiss) to get an x-ray and a cast. (Note your healthcare doesn’t work over here. Just pull out your credit card.)

    Everyone be thankful for the health care we have in the US as much as we complain there is no better.

    Whoops. I guess you and some other folks here are enjoying watching the Steelers waste snaps on Gainwell.

    Where are you getting these stats old man???

    Najee led the Chargers RBs in both rushing and receiving yards Monday night. His carries and receptions per game continue to increase as he comes back from his eye injury.
    28 yards rushing and 20 yards receiving in Week 2

    My wife is headed to Germany and she bought trip insurance. Annual plan was 200 bucs. Anything happens she is covered.

    You did say you weren't quite at your best. It is fairly simple. They replaced Harris with Gainwell, which is a significant downgrade. Harris is a better runner and far better at picking up blitzes. Gainwell is a slightly better receiver, but Harris can make plays in that area as well. I bring this up because my argument has never been that they should keep Harris and let Warren go. My argument was that they could have kept both if they had been smart enough to exercise Harris's option. The Steelers would be far better off right now with Harris and Warren sharing the early downs and Warren playing in passing situations than they are with Warren splitting time with Gainwell and the latter getting most of the snaps in passing situation.

    That is why I keep mentioning them wasting snaps and touches on Gainwell.

    Travel insurance can be very cheap and offer pretty good coverage. I didn't know much about it until my daughter went on a trip that required it.

    I understand this

    The point was your response made no sense regarding what I posted

    And it didn’t

    You just used it to go off on your little Gainwell tangent for the umpteenth time

    A tangent suggests it is not relevant to the conversation. It is relevant because the Steelers ended up weakening the offense by replacing Harris with Gainwell. Gainwell isn't taking on exactly the same role, but I'm sure you understand that I mean the running back who primarily shares the job with Warren. I have already explained why Harris was a much better fit even if they changed the distribution of the workload to favor Warren instead of Harris.

    As to how my posts connects to yours, that is easy enough to break down for you. The "whoops" part was a reference to you forgetting that the Chargers hadn't played yet in Week 2. The rest takes a little thought. You were trying to use Harris's lack of work to justify the Steelers moving on from him. I responded by pointing out that you have to look at what they replaced him with and that is Gainwell, hence the comment about you and others apparently enjoying watching the Steelers waste so many snaps and touches on a scrub like Gainwell.

    The rookie almost cost them the game by fumbling, so they quickly put Najee out there at the end.

    It's almost as if ball security is a valuable skill for a running back. Oh wait. That's exactly how it is.
