My thoughts on preseason wk 3

Najee was Tomlin’s guy. A sub-4.0 yards-per-carry slug who was the opposite of explosive. It was Tomlin’s and the OC’s choice to start him over Warren a career 4.7 yards-per-carry back, a good receiver, and a fine blocker. Now he could be explosive at times. My belief was Warren should have had more snaps and more carries than Harris. But that did not happen.

 

Let me leave this for the people that can actually think beyond feelings.
Average carries per year.
Najee: 266
Bus: 308
Emmitt Smith: 332
D. Henry: 311

Its hard to have more yards of people you don't get as much carries as.
Especially since the guys Im showing were guys that got better as they got more carries in a game.
Again was Najee awesome, no, but was he as bad as some say, hell No

 

Najee Harris averaged 3.9 yards per carry (YPC) overall during his four seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers. [1, 2]

Yearly Breakdown with the Steelers

• 2021 Season: 3.9 YPC (3.909 average)
• 2022 Season: 3.8 YPC (3.801 average)
• 2023 Season: 4.1 YPC (4.059 average)
• 2024 Season: 4.0 YPC (3.966 average) [1]

These are good , better than good numbers per carry
I was just stating the total amount of yards rushing which was the topic
Edit
Topic of post that @Blast Furnace brought up

Imagine if Najee had vision to find the hole
The hole that he constantly avoided
But
OL so bad there was never a hole
There was constant holes that Najee didn’t see but replays showed the holes
Maybe if someone put hair around them holes
Najee would’ve found the hole
Word of the day
HOLE
Or
HOLES
