    Warren our #1 RB, Harris a fine 2nd.

    As a rookie last year Jaylen Warren was more explosive & efficient than Najee Harris. This camp Warren is even bigger, stronger, and more familiar with his players and the playbook . He had several good practices and obviously produced the run of the pre-season games. I have yet to read about or see Harris having a good practice or game. I do not not think Harris is a worthless player. If it makes our Yinzers feel better he will make a fine short yardage specialists and back up. Now that camp is over and there is only the last pre-season game left, a game where starters hardly play the goal is to keep everyone healthy to start the year.

    2022:

    Jaylen Warren: +0.12 EPA/att, 46% success, 4.9 YPC

    Najee Harris: -0.13 EPA/att, 36% success, 3.8 YPC

    it has continued in 2023 preseason

    Even when you isolate only runs vs. light boxes or vs heavy boxes, Warren > Harris in YPC, success, EPA & explosiveness.

    Now it is time to get behind both men and root for them when they play. If I'm the coach Warren gets roughly 65% of the carries, and Harris gets roughly 30%, with the other 5% being reserved for Jets Sweeps , Wide reciver reverse runs, and RB #3.

    The Steelers had a great draft in 2023. However better play calling / coaching is badly needed. Tomlin is hasn't won a playoff game in six years and counting. Nor has hired anyone good to his coaching staff. Think about that. Mike Tomlin says, " hell yeah we've got to make some changes. " We are waiting. But Khan and Weidl appear to have better management on the salary cap and focused on the right free agents and draft needs.

    Yup, but in the Steeler ego-influenced world, this ain't gonna happen. Art needs to feel he was right in drafting Najee.

    Najee will be our RB1. At least to start the season and probably throughout.

    If there was any doubt of this, they'd actually play Najee so he could compete for the job.

    But I'm starting to think that the split should be more like 60/40 than Warren about 1/3.

    Barring injury NH will stay at #1. I think Warren will get more carries.

    I am just happy we have a bonefide 1-2 punch at RB.
    Help me find my post proving I am a Yinzer!

    My way to early draft:

    1.) Center
    2.) ILB
    3.) WR
    4.) OT
    5.) ILB
    6.) WR
    7.) OT

    If that's status quo (3 offensive series, 3 TDs) I'll take it every Sunday!

    Is there any truth to the statements you're a Browns fan? I hope not.
    Let Warren and Harris earn their touches.

    I don’t know any true Steeler fan that would bash the team, organization, coaches, or Yinzers on an hourly basis.

    We all get upset with the team from time to time, but not every day, day after day.

    My thoughts are he is a stains fan, I grew up in NE Ohio and this is their daily MO.
