In Week 4 against the Indianapolis Colts, Pittsburgh Steelers’ fourth-year running back Najee Harris had a really rough game on the ground, leading to plenty of questions once again about the former Alabama star.
Harris rushed for just 19 yards on 13 carries against one of the worst run defenses in football while backup running back Cordarrelle Patterson had 43 yards on six carries before exiting with an ankle injury.
It was a tough performance to watch, but the offensive line didn’t really do Harris any favors either.
For former NFL offensive lineman Mark Schlereth, who appeared on FS1’s “Breakfast Ball” Thursday morning, Harris’ performance exposed things the veteran running back has had issues with, particularly ones that Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin has cited in the past when talking to Schlereth: the inability to just take the simple play that’s there and trying to hit the big play constantly.
