Are Steelers RBs Jaylen Warren, Kenneth Gainwell or struggling OL to blame for running game issues?
from Post-Gazette Sports Network: Pittsburgh Steelers, Pirates, Penguins and more · host Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
On the Wednesday edition of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by Edgar Snyder & Associates, host Adam Bittner and Post-Gazette Steelers insider Christopher Carter analyze the team's struggling running game and what can be done to fix it. Is the lack of success holding back Arthur Smith's offense, even as its identity has shifted more toward Aaron Rodgers, DK Metcalf and the passing game? Are RBs Jaylen Warren and Kenneth Gainwell or offensive linemen including Broderick Jones, Troy Fautanu and others more at fault for the issues so far? Is there a role for rookie RB Kaleb Johnson that makes sense right now? And how much is Najee Harris being missed in the early going? Our duo tackles those questions, then pivots to defense. What issues is Christopher seeing on film? Is it a simple lack of execution from big names including Jalen Ramsey, Patrick Queen and Darius Slay Jr.? Or are there bigger problems at play? Is it a red flag that coach Mike Tomlin's defense was burned for touchdowns by the Jets' Garrett Wilson and the Seahawks' Tory Horton on virtually identical plays in back-to-back weeks? And how much of a concern should Ramsey's play be so far? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.
