Joel was right! Warren is the future

[NorthCoast]

He's leaving them in the dust........

[Steel Maniac]

It's like Tomlin is just invisible in these discussions. That's your answer. It's been a long time too. Not just this year.

yep. Warren has shown for awhile now that he's been the superior running back. It should be a 70/30 split at least going forward.

[hawaiiansteel]

He wasn't even on the field.

Canada should be fired for that alone.

and he was

[feltdizz]

and he was

indeed indeed!! My homie called me and his mom is up there in age so anytime he calls early I get worried it's bad news.

"did you hear?.. is it true?"

me: hear what?

They fired Canada!!!

Warren has passed Harris on the one stat he dominated:

Also, nearly 1 in every 3 rushes by Warren results in a first down. For Harris it's 1 in 5.



We don't need no stinkin Etienne!

THIS explains Warrens success with a bad line. Najee is a good back when we block well. But Warren has leagues best make you miss ability which can overcome bad line play.

I am all about it.
What people forget is that these guys BOTH are impressive in the pass game as receivers and are are nice blockers who can pass block and lead block for each other.

Plus it promotes Warren without demoting Najee who is showing great leadership and before this last game has been running well.

I think the best 11 includes BOTH.

he occasionally breaks tackles with that spin move behind the LOS but most of his missed tackles are downfield because he actually has some moves.

Najee.. jumps. He used to stiff arm and punish guys but its like someone deletes his caches of moves in Madden.

ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler believes Jaylen Warren and George Pickens will benefit from the Steelers’ switch to interim offensive coordinator Mike Sullivan.


The Matt Canada reign of terror ended this week, and the Steelers named Sullivan the new play caller. “You don’t have to be a football savant to know Warren should average more than eight carries per game and Pickens should get more than seven targets per game,” Fowler said, adding Sullivan “knows how to target his top options.” Fowler pointed to Odell Beckham seeing 169 targets in Sullivan’s 2016 Giants offense. Warren, nominally the team’s starter, is still running behind Najee Harris for some strange reason. Perhaps that changes starting in Week 12 against the Bengals.

I thought you said Warren was named the team's starter two weeks ago?

[Mr.wizard]

They don't have to demote anyone or lessen anybodys load to get them more touches they just need to sustain more drives.

I agree. By completing a necessary pass or two along the way to sustain those drives.

Seen some posters elsewhere saying Warren benefits from more favorable late down runs than Harris has gotten:

	Warren	Harris
1st down atts	81	418
2nd down atts	63	260
3rd down atts	10	37
4th down atts	3	4
1st down rate on 1st & 10 runs	14%	8%
1st down rate on 2nd & < 6yds	50%	25%

Not seeing where he is getting favorable treatment.

What does seem to be definitely true is that Harris' runs are mostly up the middle while Warren can and does bounce to outside runs. (Harris' outside runs are mostly fails or short yards). So Harris' game is limited to his abilities not the play calling.

Yep. Harris is limited in where he can be used, and when he is used is Mr. 4.0 a carry. Don't look now , but Warren has been playing like a top 10 RB in the NFL for the last 3 games.
