This is one of those podcasts where I knew right away I’d be listening back multiple times. So dense with valuable insight. Really love to see the advanced analysis being pumped out on the yahoo pod this summer, Matt. You’re killing it. And Nate is of course such an awesome addition! Appreciate y’all!
The Steelers run game is going to be fun to watch. Broderick Jones looked like probably the second best Lineman/Tackle out of that draft after Wright. And that Line getting revamped I wouldn’t be surprised if they are a top 5 Line by end of this season at worst top 10. The Run game has been back, all the forward looking organizations knew to build it after years of undersized Linebackers and focuses on defenders with speed. The league is so Cyclical I love it. I actually would credit Patriots or Titans with the early Gap running adoption. Having Derek Henry will do that but that’s also why The Steelers drafted Najee. Winning franchises stay winning and the forward thinking is how.
Najee Harris is a really sneaky pick. He's basically a free agent next year so he is playing for a new contract on a run heavy team. Jaylen Warren is a nice complimentary back but he's not a workhorse guy. Harris will be motivated and get plenty of opportunities.
Really hope the 2025 class brings a platoon of talent back to the RB rooms. Seems like everyoone is thirsty for RBs and it shows with the push of the 2024 rb class which was not loved in the beginning of this offseason.
