Scout’s Eye with Matt Williamson: Breaking the RB mold?

25 comments

1. Fix the trenches in the draft. Get skill positions in FA. Steelers will have the money.

2. Isn’t Ollie Gordon is big and fast though.

3. Draft Kaleb Johnson. Perfect for outside zone scheme and Art would LOVE him. Reminds me of Aaron Jones.

4. Matt, great stuff as always! Regarding burning out at the end of seasons, I think a big contributor is starting off every game slow or playing from behind. You can’t rest your best players if you need them to help you come back…

5. Lol, Tomlin doesnt even have anyone assisting him with when to challenge a play. Does anyone really think he's bringing in another coach with HCing experience to tell the almighty Tomlin what to do?

6. The running backs should be able to read and adjust quickly. Speed and size does matter. I'm a bit more concerned about the Wide Receiver room. Thank you Matt

7. 😂😂😂 Every Time I Hear a Stesler Media or Fan try to Tell The Steelers How to Win Games or a Bowl None rhe Less I Start Laughing. Stevie Wonder don't make Road Maps for a Reason! 😂😂😂 Has Football turned into Monoply Game? 😂😂 Has there been a Season where Jaylen didn't miss a Game or 2? 😂😂 Folks Until the Oline gets More in Sync with itself. Jaylen is going to Break before Midseason. So if You get Rid of Najee You Better Have an Experienced Runner for the Winter. Raven's Went for Henry Not because he is Qucik.. Saquon Barkley isn't Quick or Fast..😂😂😂 Instant Grits isn't better. So Remember You didn't Need Bell because Your Oline was Great and So Was James Connor?😂😂 How that work out. Then You didn't Need AB because You had JuJu 😂😂😂 How did That work Out. Oh Wait it didn't matter what WR or RB because You had Ben. How did that work out?😂😂😂 See Pattern with Media and Fan Logic..😂😂😂 Is this a Special Course in Arse Backwards Thinking or does that just come Natural. Your Car don't need tires. You have an Engine to get you around..😂😂😂

8. I say,try to keep BOTH of them..unless Harris wants to much money

9. Good stuff Matt! Really liked the global outlook on the conduct of the season.

10. Bro who cares if someone is from the area! Hire the best people! So sick of that small mindedness

11. 5:26 WE KNOW THIS BECAUSE WE SEE IT WITH OUR OWN EYES. the coverage is horrible all the time there’s no creativity or disguising going on in our defense

12. If they featured Jaylen in this offense over the last couple years this offense would have looked far better than it has. He always has the ability to create an explosive in the passing game and in the run game. With all the check downs from these recent QBs…it was another shortcoming of this coaching staff to feature Najee as much as they did.

13. They went on a 3 games winning streak to get into the playoffs 2 years ago. I don't see them getting tired. They got outplayed. They are not as good as we thought.

14. If they are going to do RB by committee, they don’t need an early round bruiser. With the shelf life of the position, the best GMs likely see rostering 2-3 big play capable backs as the future.

15. I disagree that we can’t use a first or second round pick o. A RB if they are a special talent. Drafting a RB in the first is not a mistake. Drafting a plodder like Najee in the first round is a mistake.

    Jeanty in the first? Hell yes.
    Hampton, Johnson, or Henderson in the second? Absolutely.

16. Ollie Gordon can hit home runs, dunno why he's being related to Najee. Not saying he's gna be great in general, but saying he's Najee mold is wrong.

18. the steelers never replaced casey hampton and therein lies the problem

19. DK I have been saying this the entire off season. I want scatter, hunter, Martinez or mullings as the bruisers. and monangai as the 7th rounders and special teamer/ short yardage back. I want a fa and 1st order cover /press corner

20. I would add a threat to Tomlin, he is just an average coach. He has never shown being worth $16 m a year.

21. Like the idea of double dipping at RB, do it at WR too. Guys who give massive effort and play 110percent like Skattebo and Monangai would be my pair. With Warren leading the group we'd have three RB's that play their guts out and pound defenses instead of vice versa.

22. Raheem Sanders, South Carolina 6 foot 230 with decent speed

23. Matt, does 3-4 work any more? With only 2 mlb, if you bring the pressure, you leave the slant wide open. The slant has killed us for a decade. Is the scheme outdated?

24. Kaleb Johnson has size and speed reminds me a lot of a young nick chubb

25. We should draft Milroe in the 3rd, and turn in the card that says "…the Steelers select, RB, Jalen Milroe." Look at him and say "Yeah, you heard that right."
