I disagree bud. they were running play action quite a bit and threw to Najee at least three times. I'd like to see more passes to him actually. I love watching him in open space. Najee lacks vision and that is why he is sucking. If you go back and watch Patterson, he makes the right reads on the blocks, makes the cut, and hits the burners. Naj isn't doing that.
I agree 100%. There should be at least a handful of plays his skill set would be best so that they can play him now. We have no one else getting open consistently and catching balls now.
I remember a time when the Center would look down between his own damn legs to see when/if the QB was ready for the snap. Maybe instead of the fanny patting, we could do something as simple as that?
Next Gen also says Harris did not face an eight-man box on any of his 16 carries against the Titans. For the season, Harris (17%) and Warren (14.29%) have similar rates of “stacked boxes” for their runs.
what? the same Jaylen Warren who has all of 14 carries this season?
The phantom slap-***!
Didn't they change the rules to not allow that? For some reason, I thought they did.
Nope, no rules that I could find.
Maybe he means Chris Warren from the Seahawks
The Jaylen Warren that has a higher ypc than Harris this year despite playing injured.
I disagree. These guys were bottom depth chart guys before the season and they're proving it through the first quarter. Receivers not named Pickens have combined for 14 receptions. Jefferson is WR2 (I guess) and has 5 catches for 36 yards. He's just not suited for that role.
Well that blocking sled the bone head took on is reportedly still feeling the effects of that hit
Was that because of his vet savvy though? I clearly remember he didn't have the arm strength anymore and him throwing a lot of short and middle stuff.
Jefferson is barely a bottom half of the league WR3
True, but it would be great if we could keep both. A Montana/Young type situation using Wilson to maybe get one more Lombardi while Fields develops and learns from Russ. Wilson has to know there aren't many places where he will start and that team will be a contender....there's probably no place like that. Maybe he works a cap friendly deal since he already got "the bag" as the youngsters say from the Broncos. And with this defense and one more receiver he has to know he could get one more ring. We can dream can't we?
I can certainly dream that the Steelers do better at QB than bring Russ back yet another year older and more injury prone next year.
Comparing the situation...not the individuals as in Russ= Montana. Before any of this we had Pickett and Mason no one saw us having this discussion today, anything can happen.
gotcha, that makes more sense
I can't believe that nobody in four pages has fact-checked this post with simple math. Fields averaged threw for 156 yards against Atlanta and 117 versus Denver. That's an average of 136.5 yards passing per game. So he was on pace for 2321 yards over a full season. Not "something like 1800."
Coming back from a 17-0 deficit on the road to give his team a chance to win on the final drive is "nothing" to you?
So what? Ben Roethlisberger only had four 300-yard performances in his first four seasons, and his record in those games was 1-3.
The comically bad fumble in this game was injurious, no doubt, but it was also initiated by the Steelers somehow being unable to lay a finger on not one but two blitzing defensive players.
