Congrats to Najee Harris

The first Steelers RB to rush for 1,000 yards in his first three seasons.

 

and congrats to the incredible mediocre mason rudolph

 

That fifth year option is not as much in doubt as I thought. He’s picked it up the last few weeks.

 

Last 3 weeks have been good. This will be the first time he has averaged 4ypc or more in a season too. Trending in a more positive direction.

 

It's a no-brainer pick up Najee's fifth year option, Warren showed he isn't a lead back.

 

This is the best OL Najee has played with.

 

that is an amazing stat with all the rb’s we’ve had. I was all over najee earlier this year but he played his ass off after canada was gone. Warren did play terribly with ball security. 2 back attack works but stop running najee east and west!!

 

Congrats though 1,000 yard season these days means 58 yards a game

 

Then how come no other Steelers RB has done it before?

 

that's right forgot about that.

 

You have to remember back in the day a season had 14 games

 

while 1000 yards is not as impressive as it was in a 12, then 14 game season, I think that option is warranted. If they can keep warren, this is a very good team and can be better if the line and scheme improve.

 

And OJ Simpson once got 2,000 in 14 games .

 

Yeah it was criminal how he knifed through the opposing defenses that year.

 

'cause he was a slashing style runner.........

 

Competent QB play makes a difference too. They call the quarterback the field general for a reason. He commands the offense and Mason has been a nice, steadying influence to the very good offensive players that we have.

 

I don't get the posts of Warren's not the guy bc of 1 game or najee deserves the lead role. The NFL has changed. We need 2 backs and I'm glad we have both these rbs even though I don't like picking a rb in the 1st rd.

 

Harris proved he was the better back today. He had one bobble early, but otherwise secured the ball well and carried the offense most of the game.

 

I agree that they need both guys, but Harris didn't just have one strong game. He had a good season and came through with a couple of dominant games with the season on the line.

 

Just wish he’d give up the idea he’s a quick, shifty RB who can dance and run sideways for giant gains!

One yard shy of the first down and he turns and runs backwards and loses a yard causing us to punt !!

Still, I like having him and Warren.

Almost 50 years ago….

 

You drunk?

 

Yep. He stepped up late this year. He played hurt last year. He's a good player but I like multiple rbs.

 

We need both. Najee is money up the middle power ball security. Warren the speed. Both have their time. Thought it was asinine, yet again, going from Najee to Warren at end of game. What part of sticking to what works, the hot hand, does our staff not understand? It was Najee’s day and he was getting it done. I think another run he may have even scored. But our geniuses decide to go with the hand that wasn’t working and the one that was almost coughing it up. Last thing you want is TO so it the complete wrong time for the trick play. Good lawd.. hard watch. I know we got the W…sheesh.
Go Steelers!

 

I thought that play when he had an easy first down only to turn sideways and we had to punt might cost us the game. We punted and the Ravens marched down and scored their only TD. But when he runs north and south Najee is a beast out there.
