I am officially on the KP8 train

I tend to agree but they have improved some. If Ben was still back there, he'd probably have been out for the season because they would have gotten him killed.
 
Behind the worst OL in the league last year, I'll take Najee as a rookie any day. Now that Najee is healthy, he is looking like a beast again. Steelers power football. We just need to get an above-average OL. They were the worst last year and have improved this year as the season has gone on and Najee got healthy but they are still below average overall.
I thought the line getting better would help Harris. Not allow the 3 backups to outgain him by over a yard per carry. Najee has played better I will give him that but against a decent defense he has shown to be a career 2-3 ypc guy.
 
I’d thin k this current OL is still ranked bottom 1/4 of the league.

UNTIL this coaching / GM decide High investment (NOT just 1 but several) draft picks into the OL / DL, they will remain bottom feeders.



Salute the nation
The backup RB average is, 4.5, 5.0 and 4.9 ypc
Harris is 3.8 ypc
If Harris was outgaining the backups or even producing the same 4.9-5 ypc nobody would be complaining about the line.
 
Hmmm. Here I thought TB12 stood for Terry Bradshaw. Go figure.
LOL...I had forgotten about that. I stand corrected, thank you sir! And on that theme in one of the strangest twists/coming full circle in sports history....makes you wonder about how the universe does things. YES what's in that tweet of a newspaper article is true...WOW...

I still can't get over this...it's really freaky.
 
I got to be honest. I wanted Kenny to look significantly better. I'd say they would have the exact same amount of wins if either had played the whole season. now Kenny did get experience, however part of that experience was two Conkys.
 
The line is playing better. The weak link is still Dotson and then Moore but Moore has definitely improved.

Everyone keeps forgetting Najee was dealing with a lisfranc injury, didn't do much in the preseason, and wore a steel plate in his shoe for the first 6 games of the season. Once he got that out and he rested the foot over the bye, he has been a different RB and is back to being a complete monster on the field. He is the guy doing the heavy lifting and pounding of the opposing D. Warren was also getting the easier runs early in the year. Najee was getting handoffs from the gun and was met by 2 or 3 guys immediately when he got the ball on pretty much every run. The coaches even said the same. They have the QB under center a lot more now, which is better for the runners and apparently the OL. Warren should definitely get carries but Najee is the big dog. I see the split being 75-25 or maybe as much as 60-40 depending on the circumstances. Another thing is they are dumping the ball off to Warren but not Najee. That is complete lunacy. Najee is great out of the backfield. The dude had 75 catches last year and almost none this year. Just another head-scratcher from Canaduh. Get him the ball in open field and see how many guys he runs over like last year.
