Warren has played 29 or 18% of special teams snaps. Steelers just signed Rush who will likely play more than the 9% of ST snaps King did. I would say what I would do, I mean I know I am not a coach, but I would increase the backup DB/LB special teams snaps, and cut McFarland to make room for Cook. I know McFarland is a major contributor for the offense and special teams but it is a sacrifice this non-football knowledgeable non-coach would do.
PS
The sarcasm is not intended for you. I enjoy our exchanges. Just the other members that like chiming in and taking jabs.
"non-football knowledgeable non-coach would do"
I agree
I agree
Wow, you can show me where Najee missed some holes?! And, I can show you instances where the line did not do their job and Najee is tackled in the backfield.Well, I can show you a handful of runs vs the Rams where an obvious hole to the A gap was missed by Najee who proceeded to get tackled for a loss or no gain. I guess I need to be a coach to see that though. I do see us continuing to pound out Najee who has below average vision and not enough speed to get to the C or D gaps. Then I see Dalvin Cook who last year banged off runs of 40, 53, and 81. To compare Najee Harris's career long is 37.
But hey man. You are right. As a fan like yourself bringing in a pro bowl running back for almost no risk for marginal compensation is just asinine.
Hence, the issue is both.
I know you’re not “slow”, but purposefully obtuse? Yeah definitely
The only two positions that I see them potentially addressing is the CB or the IOL spots… and I doubt that they do either because there really is not much out there that is available

Yes. Yes, I will. Now there's not a lot of film on youtube but I will find a few for you.
Skip to 2:25
A- Gap run which is blocked to perfection. Moore and Seumalo have their men sealed outside, Daniels has his locked up, Mason has got to the second level and has a hat on the LB, Chukes has also got to the second level to get a hat on that LB. That leaves the safety for Najee. Oooooooh, except he inexplicitly runs right for the D gap. Completely missing the hole like he is Trent Richardson. -4 yard play. Dalvin Cook might take that to the house. Warren takes that for a 10+ yard gain. Najee loses yards.
12:55
A- gap cutback. The hole is there and we only need two yards for the first down. A quicker back like Warren or Cook could probably get past the LOS while Daniels is still blocking his man. Harris probably gets hit about at the first down marker. But if his vision again was better it is an easy first down as he is hitting the LB with a head of steam. Instead a -2 yard play.
17:46
Now I don't know to blame this on poor vision or just being a step too slow. Najee gets through the gap but it looks like the numbers gives him the advantage to cut to the right. He goes left and gets dropped for a short gain.
18:27
This run is Najee. This is the best we can expect from him. He actually reads the blocking perfectly and follows Dan Moore. The problem I have his our 250lb power back gets taken down easily from 195lb safety. He does some spin move and gets dumped. He out weighs Yeast by 50lbs. Lower your shoulder and knock his butt out of the way. Make him pay for trying to come up and stop the run. I mean I am being picky here I admit it. But Najee is a powerback that tries to dance too much.
obtuse
/əbˈtus/
/əbˈtus/
IPA guideOther forms: obtuser; obtusest
The adjective obtuse is good for describing someone slow on the uptake: "Don't be so obtuse: get with the program!"
The adjective obtuse literally means "rounded" or "blunt," but when it's used for a person, it means "not quick or alert in perception" — in other words, not the sharpest tool in the shed. It's not just for dull people, but also dull angles: in geometry, an obtuse angle is one that is not so sharp (between 90 and 180 degrees).
Definitions of obtuse
- adjective

I wouldn’t describe you as obtuse. This sounds better.
deadshit
Someone who is so stupid it makes you want to stab your eyes so you never have to look at them again
How much of a deadshit is that pie eater over there?
I love how I show you video and picture evidence but your tiny brain still can’t grasp it. I just don’t understand how people who like football can understand so little. It’s almost like people like you and slashsteel purposely try not to learn anything about the game. I mean either you are that stupid or you work really hard at not picking up anything from the game.
You’re a funny little man Snowflake. But your skin is paper thin. So easily upset whenever anyone disagrees with you. I’d think, given the frequency that these disagreements occur, you’d have become used to it by now.
Point blank, so even you can understand. The line has not performed well, neither has Najee. Therefore, both have contributed to the problems with the run game. And, if you can’t or won’t see that, it most likely has to do with either your intellect or your propensity to fixate on one player as responsible for all that ails a particular part of the team.

Me? LOL! You got all butt hurt because I did exactly what you asked me to do. "Wow, you can show me where Najee missed some holes?!" Remember that statement? Oh, yeah. But then I did, with pictures, and you threw a slashsteel type little girl tantrum and started name calling. Wah, Wah, Wah. I got what I asked for. Wah, Wah, Wah. You. Are. Pathetic.
No snowflake you are pathetic. There you are with everyone is stupid that doesn't agree with you, twatwaffle. That little patch on your forehead has soaked in all your common sense. Because what he said was easy to understand. But somehow you didn't. We know who the little girl is around you sensitive *****.
I never throw tantrums I just call you out on your girl like tendencies. Every time you screw with a poster I will be there. Every time you talk **** and obsess about Kenny I will be there.
Why ? Because your a major tool that deserves everything thrown your way you pompous prick.
The bold part. I see, it’s an intellect thing. An inability to grasp sarcasm. Or, you’re so into yourself that you didn’t realize that the bold part of your quote was an acknowledgment that it’s not hard to find plays where Najee messed up. Of course, that would mean you failed to understand that I went on to say there are also plays where the line messed up. i.e. you fixated on the Najee part.
Anyway. I’m just going to chalk it up to you being intellectually disabled. Let us know if there’s any way we can accommodate you with that. We’re a pretty understanding group around here.

I just simply do not see the Steelers giving up
multiple premium draft picks to land one of these players on the trading block. We need these high draft choices to draft a center and a RT next draft. Use FA to sign a top notch CB and ILBer.
I wouldn’t be against trying to pry DeAndre Hopkins for r a later round draft pick. I believe he’s signed thru 2025 and he’s 31 so you get 2-1/2 years from him and don’t have to draft a receiver next year.
These CB’s like Surtain just too expensive having to give up multiple premium picks. Pass!

Coach, there is a LOT of noise on the web, we just have to decipher what is worth listening to and what isn't. Anything you've read on a possible NAJEE trade is just noise you don't need to hear. It's not going to happen and any author of that type article is just looking for clicks.
Rest assured, Najee is going nowhere.

He will promptly blow out his knee during the first practice with the Ravens. That is their RB luck.
To further expand on this it is a general consensus that Warren is more explosive than Najee which I tend to agree with. Yet he is tied with Najee per average with almost double the carries. So Warren in theory should have a higher carry percentage average. So if Najee has crappy vision this shouldn't be the case. Also if you go back a season to see what was trending Najee has actually is up .1 yard per average compared to Warren down 1 whole yard per average as it stands now. Yeah you read that right
Also to debunk the know it alls other post route theory. (An up and angled in route) In reference to his non sensical babble. A post route was run on a play which we don't know if it was a standard post or a skinny from receiver A. Receiver B ran probably a post route too.
So if one of them or both was supposed to run a skinny post they ran the wrong route. If both ran a regular post that put them in the same area of the field. Which was a ****** scheme putting two defenders in the same area. Which the result was a tighter area to throw and a resulting INT.
Like cooch Patch will continue throwing out his same narrow minded viewpoints but they are in fact narrow minded.
His claim is he knows football better than me or Joe blow. Obviously he is a legend in his own mind only.
Your honor I rest my case.

Smart! Head for the cemetery!
Dobbs traded to the Vikings
Chase Young going to the 9ers. That D was already one of the best.
The commanders traded sweat and young.... Interesting moves
