    I think we can all see this. The ball really jumps out of his hand, the arm talent is obvious.

    Let’s hope, Steelers Nation

    I wouldn't call him slow, he just wasn't very quick or explosive. I'd take Najee over Kaleb Johnson any day, at least he's strong and can run over people. I've not seen any of that from Johnson, he's basically a smaller and weaker version of Najee.

    I've been a Dylan Cook supporter, especially after his solid play at LT at the end of last season. That said, I can't describe his performance this preseason as "very good." Granted, it's been better on the left side than on the right, but overall, he seems to have been playing a bit soft, too easily pushed around.

    Unless he dramatically picks up his play, I look for Ileanchor to take his place partway through the season.

    Our return special teams have been atrocious! They have yet to open a lane for Wetjen.

    Yeah that was my point. He's smaller and weaker than Najee, but a similar style runner. I was wondering if it would be best for him to bulk up and try to maintain his athleticism at a higher weight.

    Najee may not have been that quality of a starting RB, but he was definitely a lot better than anything Johnson has put on an NFL field.

    Not to mention the TE that he hit right in the chest that dropped the ball on what probably would have been a first down if he caught it clean and would have extended the drive.

    I would recommend watching this.





    This isn't to say you are wrong. Just a more detailed look. :drinks:
