    Warren has more heart, seems like there are always excuses with Najee.

    He needs an All Pro Oline that blasts open big holes.

    But who wouldn’t?

    Thats because when Warren gets the ball there is nothing but green in front of him. I could look good running with nothing but open field.

    Well the OL needs thrown under the bus then backed up over them again... Wow 50 whole yards for Warren, just so impressed. The line sucks so bad we are excited over 50 yards.

    He needs to settle down and just go straight ahead... He never danced like that at BAMA but BAMA's OL has been way better than the garbage the Steelers trot out.

    No, Warren averaged over 8 yards a carry, Najee 4...And nobody is excited... It's just that Warren looked better than Harris... AGAIN

    Look at Barkley in today’s Giants game, he hits the line going forward.

    Ridiculous comment to make by Najee. Just focus on yourself.

    I remember a 3rd down pass to Najee in the 3rd Quarter where he caught a swing pass... literally had to just turn and run to the sidelines for a first down ( about 3 yards ) ...and he spun around, stopped, danced...And was stopped for no gain

    8 man front. No one is scheming for Warren. Najee faces stacked boxes more than just about every other back.

    I am beginning to wonder if backs from powerhouse college programs ( Alabama )look better than they really are because within a year or two 3 out of 5 of their college line gets drafted.

    This is beginning to become a pattern. Players are questioning the O Coordinator, the scheme, and now each other. Tomlin is losing control of the locker room.

    I've never seen a Steelers coach lose control of the locker room like this before. Even in the 80s when we sucked as much as we do now, Noll kept control. Now it's almost open mutiny.

    100% agree, I almost jumped through the TV. Get moving downhill, know the situation and where the marker is for God's sake!!

    Me and my Brother both screamed...He had the angle EASY, just turn, and run out of bounds...

    The only way he COULDN'T have gotten that first down...Is to do what he did

    Canada's horizontal offense is infecting the minds of our players. Instead of moving downfield everyone's first instinct is to run sideways.

    Players get frustrated and sometimes they say dumb stuff.

    I remember the exact play and made a comment about in the GDT.

    I'm not about to make excuses for this offensive line and their poor run blocking. But Harris needs to put his head down and grind. He's trying to run like Barry Sanders and he has neither the quickness nor shiftiness. He would be much better off if he just took what was there. I'm not going to bust his balls too bad over his comments. I get he's frustrated. But he needs to realize he leaves some yards out there.

    No excuse. Be part of the solution, not part of the problem.

    As I have said for many years, NEVER draft a RB in the first round. The only possible exception is for a team that is championship caliber but for a RB. We were not that team in 2021. Not even close.
