And Warren should be splitting time equally with Najee.
Agreed. Harris looks timid. I hope its just lingering effects from injury.

Warren has really impressed me.

I think its safe to say they have improved at every offensive position or at least not gotten worse than last year except maybe QB.

OL is improved (hell they forced Ben to lineup behind a guy at C who is inactive every week this year)
RB depth is better
Year 2 of Muth at TE
WR group is better (lost Ju Ju but got Pickens - Washington and McCloud we average at best)

The results have been terrible overall. The talent is much better than the results we've seen.

Does it matter who the pieces are if the gameplan sucks?
Yes.

If you have the right pieces in place. If you have the QB who takes the right shots down field. If you elevated the WR's who aren't shying away from catching the ball, or dropping balls that hit both their hands, and the RB who hits the holes as they appear, and the returner who won't muff balls coming his way... Then you eliminate excuses for the guys who write the gameplan when the right people are there and they still aren't showing fruits.

The more I watch Claypool, the more I’m beginning to despise his waste of talent…..wish they moved him when his stock was real high….he should also practice jumping up to catch balls….gives a half ass effort every time……

Meh, I disagree. This offensive play calling isn't going to work for anyone. It doesn't matter who is QB or WR or RB or any other position. The plays being called are trash and that's what needs to change. It's the whole "put lipstick on a pig" argument. Put in the best playmakers all you want but if the playcalling sucks dick, what's gonna change? Dress this offense up however you want to, we are still going to be scoring 17-20 PPG.

So Mitch couldn’t but Kenny, with no 1st team reps, can?

Came across this sad stat line today...

The most rushing yards allowed by the Steelers through 4 weeks since 1986

And I thought the additions of Myles Jack, Larry Ogunjobi, Brian Flores and the return of Tyson Alualu were SUPPOSED to fix all that?

OL still looking good, according to the grades.

Gunner is on the hot-seat.

Going to go ahead and say godspeed to Ryan Swi... I mean... Gunner Olszewski

Good move. He looks lost as if he's lost his confidence with a deer in the headlights look. His first return he didn't field resulted in a huge sway in field position. The change can't be made soon enough.
