    Steelers’ RB Najee Harris have a Vision Problem? | USFL Free Agent Targets Omar Khan Should Consider



    The Pittsburgh Steelers trust Najee Harris to lead a tough running attack in 2023. But questions about his vision as a runner have surfaced from those who look at his rushing averages. Is vision the problem? Or has the real issue been the Steelers’ offense with a reforming offensive line and a non-existent passing attack the last two seasons? Also, what are reasonable expectations for Harris and Jaylen Warren in 2023?

    Finally, Chris Carter and Alan Saunders discuss Reuben Foster and other USFL potential free agent targets Omar Khan should consider for the Steelers’ roster before training camp.

      "Gentry is …." Strictly Coaches faulty! In college, HE exhibited the IDENTICAL shit ya'll are pitch'n tents about with Mt Wash…

    6. Jeff Hewitt on

      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.

    9. 03Man11 on

      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.

    10. The Egyptian Queen on

      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.

    13. The Facts Mob on

      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…

    14. Virdin Barzey on

      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.

    18. Timmy G on

      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

    19. Calvin Alston on

      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..😊

    21. Kurt Mackenzie on

      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.

    23. martian? on

      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.

    25. Michael Jefferson on

      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.

      Don't overthink it. We have the right backs.

    28. Bernie McCluskey on

      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

    30. John Doe on

      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.

    31. In_dacutz_freezy on

      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

    33. JOHN@WHOLISTICSHIELD on

      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

    36. Tyler S. on

      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
