I agree. Run straight into 3 lineman and 2 linebackers behind the line of scrimmage with some force.when this guy realizes he’s not Barry Sanders, he might be really good.
RUN. FORWARD.

And they still won't have a decent QB.Dude begins every play jump-cutting the center or the guard because they are 4 yards in the backfield as he receives the ball. Pitt draft next year better be OL, OL, OL, OL, OL, OL.
And they still won't have a decent QB.
Love the guy, but situation matters a lot for a RB, and as bad as it is this year it's entirely possible that it gets worse before it gets better.
Totally agree that mediocre would be a huge upgrade, but plenty of people said the same thing last year yet it not only didn't get better it got worse. Good offensive lineman don't grow on trees and the Steelers will be competing with most teams to sign the few decent options that become available. Same goes for the draft- even if they do spend their 1st rounder on one, it'll likely be the 4th or 5th best OL prospect in the draft at best.Disagree. I have never seen such an inept Steelers offensive line. The Steelers have money and should be able to acquire a quality offensive lineman or two in FA. They should also use their 1st round pick on the offensive line.
No guarantee the line will be "good" next season but at this point mediocre would be a huge upgrade over this group.
Bell cow RBs with Najee’s talent are rare so it would take a lot. I mean, anyone is available for the right price but I’m in the camp that thinks the Steelers will do everything in their power to upgrade the o-line this off-season so I expect things to get better. Ben was a shell of himself this year so it won’t take a lot to match or upgrade the QB position. Najee is a hold unless someone blows my doors off.So does this mean you all think it's worth selling in Dynasty if you can get enough......and what is enough?
Najee Harris rushed 28 times for 188 yards and one touchdown and caught 3/3 passes for 18 yards in the Steelers' Week 17 win over the Browns Monday night.
Harris took a meaningless final-drive run 37 yards to the end zone on a third-down carry where all he needed was a first down to salt the remainder of the clock. Instead of going down, Harris decided to take it all the way to the end zone. It likely swung a number of fantasy matchups. The 188 rushing yards are a new season-high for Harris, giving him his third 100-yard rushing game. Harris will get a Week 18 date with a Ravens team that has dropped five straight. Harris went 21-71 on the ground against Baltimore in Week 13, adding five catches for 36 yards.

I for sure don't think because a RB was healthy one year he's MORE inclined to not be healthy for duration of the next year. I generally assume most RB's will miss a little time, but again not because they were healthy the previous year.Likes of Jonathan Taylor, Najee Harris, Ezekiel Elliott & Javonte Williams appeared in 17 games in 2021 & can't be counted on to do so again in '22
The Athletic's Mark Kaboly reports Najee Harris is up to 244 pounds.
That's 14 pounds heavier than his listed weight of 230 pounds. The extra poundage could be in preparation for another massive workload in Pittsburgh's backfield. Harris as a rookie led all running backs in snaps and touches, finishing as fantasy's RB8 on the strength of volume alone. There's not much reason to believe the Steelers won't once again feed Harris in 2022. He should be one of the first handful of backs off the draft board.

These kinds of things usually don't end well. I hope he can reduce that between now and the start of the season.The Athletic's Mark Kaboly reports Najee Harris is up to 244 pounds.
This makes me uneasy. That's a lot of weight.
I normally don't concern myself with offseason reports of being heavy or out of shape but I agree with you, 14 pounds is a lot.

last year Najee Harris averaged 0.93 yards before contact per rush
that was the lowest in the NFL...
and ranked 43 out of 43 RBs over the last 2 years (min 200 att)
I'm not sure adding weight will help him to the hole any faster
This guy must not have watched a lot of Steeler's games last year.I'm not sure adding weight will help him to the hole any faster
True. There weren't any holes to run throughThis guy must not have watched a lot of Steeler's games last year.
Looks fine here. I am back to feeling good.
Steelers RB Najee Harris told reporters that he had a sprained lisfranc in training camp.
Harris told reporters that he felt rusty against the Lions in Pittsburgh's final preseason game, as he rushed four times for 10 yards and added three catches for 11 yards. The good news is that Harris appeared to get his bearings while playing into the second quarter. The bad news is that Pittsburgh's offensive line still looked like something that could hold down Harris' fantasy value.

So, is anyone worried about this ? Pre-draft talk in my high stakes local league is that this will cause him to fall through the 1st round. He did play on Saturday and he will have an additional 2+ weeks before game 1 of the season. Not sure if the crappy O-line scares me more. LOL.Steelers RB Najee Harris told reporters that he had a sprained lisfranc in training camp.

Yeah, but you have to watch that incessant guy talk for 3-5 minutes in order to get anything out of it.The Fantasy Doctors have a Youtube page that is helpful. Mostly just short 3-5 min videos on all the key players with injury concerns
