Harris is great with a head of steam, one of the tougher backs to tackle when he gets up to speed. The problem is he rarely got a head of steam. He was frustrating because when he flashed he flashed, but 90% of NFL RB will have an incredible performance out of nowhere once or twice a year. Harris incredible games usually came against the Bengals.
Chubbs is signing with Texans I believe. So he won’t be an option. Greenbay is cutting CB Jaire Alexander wouldn’t mind the Steelers giving him a looksee.
He lacked speed for one thing. The Steelers didn't figure that one out, including Art who thought he was getting a Henry. Wrongo bucko.
Cooch hate him some Najee and Tomlin and every other player….
There are a few like that here
If only we had drafted a running back that could keep a thread going.
The "ability" minus the speed and vision.
I think his lack of vision made him look slower than he was. When he got the ball in the open in the passing game he wasn't slow. In the running game he took the wrong angles way too often.
He didn't have the speed to be great. All he knew was to power it up the middle. Runs to the outside were too slow. Another failed draft pick.
He was not a failure in the least. 4 straight 1000-yard seasons is not a failure. He may not have been a homerun but he was solid and was starter. Had we used him differently he may have been a star. He sure looked like he was going to be one his rookie year.
The only failure is cooch and his repetitive negativity. Just a miserable mope.
Pissed I tell ya…it’s gonna require much bacon, beer, bourbon and beyote
Najee was not a failure, the drafting of najee in the 1st rd was the failure. He was never gonna be a star. Got outplayed 3 years in a row by an UDFA. This year I give it 3 games before Hampton takes the starting role. maybe not even. Could be the backup at the start of the year.
Problem was he didn't get the 3rd and short. Else he would probably still be hereNajee truly was the PERFECT back considering that the goal schematically is to have long TOP clock killing drives.
Averaging about 4 ypc eats some clock trying to get down the field- win.
Not fumbling for a turnover averse HC scheme- win.
I’m gonna be pissed when Warren/Johnson go breaking off all those 20-50 yard runs this year and Rodgers and Co keep scoring over and over again in 2-3 minutes or less putting that 180M sus defense back on the field too quickly further exposing their deficiencies. Pissed I tell ya…it’s gonna require much bacon, beer, bourbon and beyote
That happens when you constantly kept getting hit 3 yards or more deep in the backfield.
True but we all know there were holes he never took. Times he got there late and times he couldn't push the pile.
How do you get to the hole late when on third and one you get hit 3 yards in the backfield.
