The Jags had one of the worst lines in the league and Etienne averaged 5.1 yards per attempt. The Titans had the absolute worst line in the league by every metric, with no passing offense whatsoever and Henry still managed to average 4.4 yards per attempt.
Najee's viaion was just fine in the second have of the season. I feel he was fighting injury the first half of the season, so he was nursing his foot or whatever the injury was by dancing around instead of hitting the holes.
To be real… I don't think it's a vision problem. Just like Le'Veon, I just think he needs to drop weight to about 225 and I bet his burst and vision gets better. He can do it. 240+ is bruiser weight. He's a tank right now being that heavy…
Najee is not LeVeon. I do not think that's a great comparison. I think Najee has tried to be like LeVeon and it has hurt him tremendously.
Najee is not as quick or elusive as LeVeon. Bell had the unorthodox ability to stop, wait for the hole and hit it quickly. That's not Najee.
Bell, had moves to make guys miss. He shaked and baked many opposing players leaving them with broken ankles. That's not Najee.
Najee seems slower than Bell though both do not have homerun speed. I like Najee and saw that his strength is hitting the hole with force and breaking tackles. We saw that as the line got better. He is not quick so he cannot stop and dance like Bell.
Yes, Bell had a much better o-line but Bell lost weight so that he can be quicker and elusive. Unless Najee can become quicker and elusive, I think Najee is more Chubb than Bell.
Honestly his vision is fine. He was just getting hit 3-4 yards behind the line of scrimmage so when the OLine got better it took time for him to trust he wasn’t going to get hit
Seriously what are yall talking about.?? His vision isnt that great… but I love me some Najee Harris.. and he makes up for it by plowing through guys.. now we say he has great vision?🤔 well wouldnt you want to Have Bettis' vision on that body? Or even lets think about Leveon's Vision? Lev'eon has great vision.. lets compare..😊
Harris has has a crap O line and the injury made him look terrible. Late last season he looked great. Dont forget how bad the passing attack has been with loaded boxes.
We’ve all seen him get hit and get the ball simultaneously, still rushing for over 1k in style. I believe Kenny P can be better than decent but if he’s decent and defense can’t just crowd the box, I wouldn’t be surprised if Najee rush for 1500 yds. Seumalo improves the o line but I think the zone scheme shouldn’t outweigh the power.
The blocking scheme that is used in Pittsburgh requires patience hence LeVeon's Pro Bowl tenure. Najee was use to running behind a bunch of cornbread fed-Bama boys who could immediately open a hole that any high school back could jog through.
Like your show chris BUT seriously if anyone watches his highlights it is plain to see his vision is great get real he is a top 5 back you will be eating these words after this year
Been saying this for 2 years so finally lol, that guy doesn’t have great vision imo if he improved in that area he would be the highest version of himself, other than maybe losing 10 lbs like Leveon said to maybe add some speed.
Nothing is wrong with Najee Harris he just trying to put the team on his back he was the team leader his rookie year outside of Ben and forward I think he was trying to hard to make sumn outta nun and in the long run fans who don’t know football say things like this
Carter is straight up HATING on Foster! Look at his facial expressions and his body language! Straight up HATING and judging the guy as if his issues weren't in the past. SMH
Najee just gets hit in the back field and gets his momentum slowed.. I’d love to know the stats that he had when he got hit behind the line vs contact after the line of scrimmage. I bet it’s night and day.. if the boys up front can hold their own and keep defenders out of the backfield, Najee and the run game will evolve

Najee is Fine he just needs a better line.
I really like the idea of adding Foster but at his age? You might get a couple years out of him, maybe. We gotta pass on adding him.
Why is it always a personality thing with the players you get? I believe thats the coaches job to correct.
Najee just needs some holes. Obviously.
The Jags had one of the worst lines in the league and Etienne averaged 5.1 yards per attempt. The Titans had the absolute worst line in the league by every metric, with no passing offense whatsoever and Henry still managed to average 4.4 yards per attempt.
SteelerNation makes too many excuses for Najee.
Najee's viaion was just fine in the second have of the season. I feel he was fighting injury the first half of the season, so he was nursing his foot or whatever the injury was by dancing around instead of hitting the holes.
Najee is fine. He was fighting an injury. He is a monster and this year he should be better with the improved line. His stiff arm in burtal
does alan ever smile

Yeah news is dry, when your wasting time debating this.
I think we have to see how the O line performs before we gauge what HIS sposed deficiencies are
Then, and only then can a real assessment be made
Is there anything this guy likes about the Steelers? The only thing I agree with him is that Matt Canada sucks
Honestly his vision is fine. He was just getting hit 3-4 yards behind the line of scrimmage so when the OLine got better it took time for him to trust he wasn’t going to get hit

Ppl need to get off najee, led the team in total touchdowns

Happy 4th of July everyone 🇺🇸

The RB and OL improved when TJ Watt return. But sure blame Canada

Don't overthink it. We have the right backs.
Maaan are you guys bored with the off season? No running back is juggernaut. He’s a beast and now he has a better O line.
He presses the hole then bounces outside
Like your show chris BUT seriously if anyone watches his highlights it is plain to see his vision is great get real he is a top 5 back you will be eating these words after this year
Love it when Alan is on!

This is what they do! They make up all this sh!t to create excuses not to pay guys what they are worth! They want the maximum effort for minimum pay.
Carter is straight up HATING on Foster! Look at his facial expressions and his body language! Straight up HATING and judging the guy as if his issues weren't in the past. SMH
I love Najee as a person and a player but I guess we will see this season right.
Man anyone who saw him at Bama know the problem ain't his vision. When his O line is top notch he's a top notch gamer!!
Najee just gets hit in the back field and gets his momentum slowed.. I’d love to know the stats that he had when he got hit behind the line vs contact after the line of scrimmage. I bet it’s night and day.. if the boys up front can hold their own and keep defenders out of the backfield, Najee and the run game will evolve
Alan looks like he roasted a spliff right before the show. The man is in his right mind for sure. "Locked On" 😂
Just start Warren.
I’m right with u CC let the run open up pass and play action that’s huge
Najee needs to watch the Bus in his power runs could really help him incorporate some of it in his game he’s a big powerful back
We need 13-1400 from najee and 800 from Jwar
With talent we have should be able to get 4 tds a game 2 pass 2 rush any combo between two sneak FG in their your looking at 28-31 a game
