I know the blocking is crap, but man Najee is just so slow and cannot make an NFL level cut to save his life.

The best news we play a bottom tier rushing defense every week in October I think they will throw to get the lead and then run just by the way Arthur Smith has been talking seems like they are ready to let Fields take the next step in development

I don't have a problem with Najee late closing games. He runs hard, doesn't fumble, and no one in the fourth wants to tackle him. It is getting to that point that I have a problem with him. I am tired of all the early downs wasted running him into the line. They know it is coming and our blocking and Harris are not good enough to do anything when they know it is coming.

If they do that I will probably double the number of nice things I've ever said about this team in a couple of weeks

You think I'm watching THAT again?
I'd rather do this....

The reasoning why Najee doesn't get the same blocking is because he's predictable. He's not a good RB in terms of having feel for the position (a la Leveon). He's a good player who really takes good care of the ball, he's a good locker room guy, he could carry the load in a pinch, but I just don't see a starting RB there for an extended period of time. Really good #2 like Brandon Jacobs was.

Najee just does not have good vision, which is the long and short of it

Now is the time for everyone to be shocked.

Uhm. How is Harris' predictability the reason teams consistently show up with crowded boxes and blitzing LBs/DBs rather than the playcalling?

I think we’ll do our due diligence on Adams but will ultimately offer less than some other team. I think Khan has demonstrated he won’t overpay for someone he wants.

Khan also started the season with Van Jefferson as our # 2 WR.

Maybe he needs to overpay?

Not if they are winning with Jefferson as wr 2. They can wait until halloween to make a trade
