Najee is a problem

I remember that. Couldn't recall if it was two or three guys, but I remember during the game wondering WTH until I saw the replay.

 

Najee definitely isn't happy by his body language, I keep hearing from the media sometimes he doesn't talk to them after games, he was the workhorse his rookie year now he gets 15 carries or less.

 

Yeah, I agree. They've put him in some bad schemes/plays this year that are more east/west, but he does just as much to himself with his sub-par vision.

He gives maximum effort and is a powerful north/south runner, but his lack of quickness in space and vision seem to have him locked in as merely an average NFL back.

 

It did look like he got lit up live.

 

His next team will be the St. Louis Battlehawks.

 

Being coached up requires a coach. The equipment manager at Alabama was more qualified to coach him up, and Najee knows it.

 

Najee not trusting his blockers is also one of the problems. He can't create yards on his own like Warren can.

 

Oh me too. But Najee oftentimes plays smaller than he is. He jumps in the air trying to do who knows what when he should be putting his head down and bull rushing ahead. And then at times it seems he decides he’s going to be aggressive and use his 240 lbs. the way it ought to be used. Then he reverts back. Can’t figure him out.

 

Loved that play! The Torpedo could hit. But Campbell had just come out of a spin move and hadn’t reestablished leverage IIRC. And you’ve got to admit that Najee plays small at times. Campbell never did.

 

I’ll try to rewatch it. Maybe I’m just so fed up with Najee the ballerina princess with his 2.8 YPC who tries to leap over DBs instead of running over DBs that my perception is skewed.

 

He did. Yes there were more then one guy in the play but he got blasted by that corner.

His vision is suspect. I believe they won't offer him the 5th year option.

 

He certainly has his flaws but one thing I have noticed is that because of his size, I've seen a Warren get thrown backwards by lineman and linebackers. You don't see that often with Harris. He is usually going to plod forward after contact for a yard or two.
Clearly his vision is an issue but when he does hit a lane with a head of steam, he's a load to bring down. Unfortunately, I just don't know if he's self aware enough to accept the criticism and try and improve.

 

That play on your video is what Harris normally does and why he is not a feature RB. On that play #30 would of gain at least 10 yards. Harris dances too much and dosen't see the hole like he should.

 

Wait . Because the center gave up the block....Najee has bad vision??? Really watch that again. He starts one way...sees the D coming.....sees His guard go out to block....changes directions, and the center let's His play go. How is that on Najee. He has bad plays at times....like all RBs do, but that wasn't one.

 

My favorite is when Najee, and Warren will have the exact same rushing yards per average during a game, and people will say .....why is Warren run so much harder , and better.....LoL, and then they turn around , and hand the ball off to Warren on a 3- 12 delay, and they will say see. LoL. Yeah .....I see the Defense backed up thinking it was a pass.....because it was 3rd , and long, but somehow people don't either see that, they don't want to see that, or they don't know what they are seeing. If You don't understand that running the ball on certain downs, and distance makes a difference.....well .....I don't know what else to say.

 

He showed some spark on six kickoff returns, but so has Igwebuike. Just look at the two big returns he had last week. The difference is that Igwebuike contributes on other special teams units and McFarland does not.

Warren and Harris are able to produce in this system, so that excuse doesn't hold up. This idea that any team should adapt a system to a scrub who has struggled to even stay on the 53-man roster since being drafted in 2020 is comical.

 

I honestly dont think its just youth, the older i got i dont take criticism well. When i was young i took it for what it was worth.
Plus i have no patience, cant find the remote, car keys, glasses, phone etc. One time i spent a half hr looking for my glasses and they were on my face!
All you youngins enjoy being young dont rush it!

 

Had all that room to his left cut right into traffic. Hope he doesn’t walk along busy roads like that!

 

Huge hole to his left and nope I'm gonna go this way right into the way my offensive lineman is blocking his man!! Nice read!!

 

Okay you still sticking that Harris is better then Warren, did you not see the hole that was designed. Enough with your love feast with Harris. You have been doing this all year. We agree on a lot of things but surely not his one.

 

I don’t see that at all. I see Isaac what’s his name with inside leverage and Dan Moore with outside leverage and a hole you can drive a truck through. Najee cuts inside the LG into the chaos.

 

LoL. You don't see him start left ....d coming, he goes to go right , and the center lets the player go???

 

When you say "sees the D coming", who do you mean? You mean the FS who's 15 yards away?

Everyone to the left of Harris is being blocked except for 32 who's 15 yards away, and a is tiny little safety.

The right side, where he cuts into, seems crowded and has a SS coming in free.

 

No, lol. What in the world are you looking at? I see Mason Cole adequately take his guy out of the play and I see Najee turn to the right when he doesn’t have to. Dan Moore has leverage and Muth is at least getting in the way of his guy. Najee has an easy 7 yards if he hits the hole but instead he turns back into traffic. Your Najee bias is causing you to lose all objectivity.
