🏈 Former NFL head coach Jon Gruden predicts Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren will have a big game against the New England Patriots on Sunday.
“I think Warren needs to get 20 carries, 17-20 carries. And I think he needs to be featured in the passing game. He is their best player, skill wise, on the Steelers right now,” Gruden said. “Warren, I love Warren. They’ve gotta get number 30 going. I mean, Najee Harris touched the ball more than any man in the NFL over the last four years. He’s gone. Where are all those touches going? I think it’s Warren’s time to be featured. And I think we’re gonna see that this Sunday in Foxboro.”
🏈 Offensive coordinator Arthur Smith explained how the Steelers can get their run game going on Sunday.
“If you’re looking to be efficient, explosive, it may come in the run game or run alerts or screen game, check-downs, however you get to it,” Smith said. “The key is obviously to score, drive efficiency, and trying to hit chunk plays. How you get to that, you can certainly do it with the run game.”
🏈 Arthur Smith just wants balance and points in his offense.
“If you’re talking about identity, just, it’s not me,” Smith said. “You’ll never hear me say my offense. I don’t want to be labeled as a guru or give some cute title to it. We want to be balanced, and we want to be efficient; we need to score points. That’s the best way I can answer that.”
🏈 Keeanu Benton feels comfortable at the nose tackle position.
“I feel like I am where I’m supposed to be. Wherever God put me, and wherever I can get a helmet at is where I’m supposed to be,” Benton said.
🏈 Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel had a clutch strip sack as rookie with the Steelers to defeat the Patriots in the 1997 Divisional Round game.
