The argument was YPC which you keep bringing up .....you criticized Harris for his. Someone just showed you that a HOFer also had the same ypc. If you run Bettis 100 times and then Harris 100 times their averages show that they would end up with the same amount of yards. No?
And had a better HC and OC.
And you can not legitimately compare the the offensive lines that Bettis ran behind to the offensive lines Najee has run behind.
Love you on this part of the board!
It'd be more impressive if Najee didn't have some of the worst yards above expected among qualifying backs his first two seasons. He was leaving yards on the table per his running, not the offensive line, according to NGS. This year he's been pretty good.
They got away from the run when they got in a hole...he only had 12 carries.
sounds like a Coach statement
Or a playcaller who isn't going to run those plays into that front. I don't really know what it is people expect. Plus they fell behind by 21 so how much are you gonna run. At least Najee speaks honest truth.
Those were the Next Generation Stats. No opinion in that statement.
21-0. Probs are not going to run much.
How true, I remember the same arguments being used in favour of Jonathan Dwyer and Ike Redman over Rashard Mendenhall that are now being used for Jaylen Warren. How did that work out when Mendnehall was injured early 2012 and Dwyer and Redman carried the load for the rest of the season?
Not to mention much better vision, anticipation, and did have better ability to get to the outside the tackles than Najee IMO..
UnfortunatelyCan someone be racist against their own heritage?
Then again it is 2024!
Funny you use an example trashing Dwyer and Redman to try to prove a point. Both those guys were over 4ypc for their career, that wasn't good enough, so tell me how Harris at 3.9 is good enough? I'm guessing Harris was drafted in the first round to put up better numbers than conner? No?
Ill never forget that huge TD Redman made against the Ravens..
2nd and goal from the 4 yard line, Pass?
Redman was a total beast in short yardage situations. Still remember the power he ran with, slow but man that guy got push on his own, when nothing was there he always got the tough yards.
Warren had 8 carries for more yards
Watch a game or two.
What does 21-0 have to do with Najee being at or near the bottom of yards over expected in NGS stats during his first and second year in the league?
You are right coach
Exactly, look at Baltimore's defense in the late 90's early 2000's, two 335lbs guys at DT, that doesn't happen anymore. It's a passing league, so the defenses have tried to adjust
