    Tomlin literally can't get out of his own way...Gushing and Giddy over him already. He ran Bell into the ground when he had Blount/ and then DeAngelo as Backups, Now we have Snell!...Get his rookie contract out of him ( 5 years ) draft another one, wash, rinse, repeat with Popcorn there!

    How many RBs in the past decade get a 2nd contract with the team that drafted them? Zeke? Henry? McCaffery?.... those are the only ones I can think of.

    I agree with Tomlin here. Harris is a rookie. He needs to play in all 4 preseason games. That's really all Tomlin said. Never once did he say he was going to run Najee's wheels off.

    Going to need his major contributions to keep Bens throws at 35 to 40. This was why he was drafted to provide a solid presence instead of a bunch of average.

    Let him run, that's what he does...and does quite well...

    Right? Isn't that what he is getting paid to do? Play?

    They're building their entire offense around 1 guy who will get hit hundreds of times, with no backup plan.

    I'd let him break a sweat tonight and then bubble wrap his a$$ until the games count.

    He’s a rb. Suppose to run the wheels off them. Get what you can while you can from them. He’s not here to look pretty.

    Bell was a top running back when he sabotaged his own career, that was all Bell, Tomlin didn’t run the wheels off of anything.

    I'd give Harris 12-15 snaps tonight throughout 3 qtrs. Anything more is unnecessary in this practice game. Do the second game the same way and 3rd game go 20+. Fourth game no more than 12-15 again. He should be ready for the regular with 60-65 snaps. 15 of those should be RPO's. More than this and you are risking injury to a future prominent player in very meaningless games.

    He didn't? DeAngelo Williams was leading the LEAGUE in rushing while Bell was sitting out for a suspension...Bell came back and, Williams hardly smelled the field, who TF does that...THEN, Late in the season, Bell injures his groin going into the playoffs ( our best team imo ) And that was it for the Steelers..... TOMLIN did that!

    I guess Ben, TJ, Heyward, Haden, et. al are pansies cuz they're sitting out tonight, and likely will most of the preseason.

    Yeah and then they take a month of the regular season to get into game shape. Brilliant

    Hasn't Cowher had worst luck with rb injuries?

    Hope I'm wrong but I don't think there is much chance anyone "runs his wheels off" with our OL. He'll be put in a single back formation and be a sitting duck. IMO>
