I still don’t understand why everyone is trying to pick between the two. I saw a comment yesterday I absolutely agree with - they’re basically Zeke/Pollard from 2022. Granted they aren’t being used that way right now, but the hate on Naj is unnecessary.
Kenny takes 1.5 seconds to hand the ball off to him and it feels like every single time he’s on the field it’s a run. Obviously defenses are going to react to that. Yes he’s not explosive or fast, but have you seen him in the red zone the past few weeks? He’s had some gritty rushes and bangs up defenses.
Let’s stop picking sides and be grateful we had a run game go for over 200 yards last week and over 150 against the Browns. It’s like the only bright spot on the team, don’t ruin it.
So we should cut Naj at year end. Got it.
They should obviously be splitting carries with Warren getting more probably 60/40. I’m so tired of people acting like we can root for both of them and being all weird about the situation.
People want Najee to basically be Derrick Henry
Since BroJo has started (Tenn) our running game has been much better. 92 carries for 543 yards (5.9 YPC 181 YPG).
48 carries for 357 yard (7.43 YPC) when people other than Najee run the ball
44 carries for 186 yards (4.22 YPC) when Najee runs the ball.
That’s a difference that can’t be ignored.
Warren is just a much better back. Najee should not have been in there on a game deciding final drive
Najee is not good enough to be taking more than 40% of the snaps away for Warren. Warren surpasses him in every way
Why aren’t we running more two back sets is my question?

There’s no reason to make it one or the other especially in the situation they are currently in. They can’t scheme for both of them properly to begin with.
Warren didn’t get touches on the last 2 possessions when he was obviously the hot hand. And for whatever reason they love calling these slow developing run plays for Najee.
They aren’t playing to their strengths on offense or scheming things properly for that strength
Warren was their most dynamic player on offense yesterday. He should have been getting the ball all game.
If you dont understand why we shouldn’t pick between the two at this point then theres no help for you. This is a sputtering offense, not playing your most explosive player is really, really dumb.
