Najee Harris is a bust prediction thread

[whisper]

You pulled a quote of mine from a year ago, mid-way through the season. It was too early to call him a bust at that time. I still think it's not time to call him a bust. He's not played well at all this season, but he had an injured foot, a terrible o-line, the worst o-coordinator in the NFL, and no one fears the passing game, so he gets no help there. I've said it before, I'd go with a lot more touches for Warren just to shake things up.

It seems like 80-90% of Najee’s runs are predictable. Dance a little then pick up 2 yards, dance some more and lose a yard.

He was hardly "all that" when playing healthy last year. This year he has a Lisfranc injury and has been playing with a steel plate in his shoe. He was never allowed to just heal from the injury. Way to manage players, Cool Shades. Shades "hurry up and play" attitude could have ruined the guys effectiveness for life.

What are you talking about?! Harris was 5th in the NFL in DYAR last season according to F.O...... er, sorry, that was Damien Harris. Najee Harris was 33rd.......carry on.

There are kids on my son's 6th grade team that wouldn't miss that hole. That's brutal. I'd like to see Jaylen Warren get a bunch of carries Thursday night and just see how he does getting into a rhythm.

There are OLD MEN in their 40's and 50's who wouldn't miss that hole either!

Yeah, Harris is so bad as missing the hole, you'd think he was a virgin. Najee that is.

Even if only half true it's pretty damning that the Steelers 1st rd pick is on the list.

Alabama RBs are like OSU QBs, a mirage in a hot desert;

A few exceptions: Derrick Henry (the current beast of the NFL RBs), Shaun Alexander (damn good in his day), Mark Ingram (a load who lasted a long time in the league). And to a lesser degree, Bobby Humphrey and TJ Yeldon. It's like AB is akin to PSU in NFL busts at RB. PSU had a lot of busts, save Franco and Curt Warner.

Najee Harris ran *angry* against the Falcons. Created so much after contact.

Looks healthy, running totally different since the bye. This is the guy the Steelers drafted and saw last season. Excellent performance. #Steelers

So much for Natural News.. lmao

All he needs is a chance.
When he was struggling, he was getting hit behind the LOS. Hes a good RB..
And we are set that that position depth wise
The OL is steadily improving with their Run Blocking in recent weeks.

Still say Harris is best when sharing the load. Would like to see Warren get more snaps, especially in the passing game where he can be explosive.

i still think he's best when running between the tackles.. the o-line does seem to be improving...
