The thing with Najee is that the guy handles been so durable through his first 4 seasons. I would give him a contract just based on his availability, not to mention his ability.

I learn something with each episode, and I love it!! Thanks, DK. I enjoy feeling like I am getting a look at the behind the scenes of the Steelers that so many others don't get to appreciate!! Keep up the great work. I truly enjoy and appreciate it!!

KC isn't some mystical unicorn. Beatable any day of the week. I should know, I live here.

[blairbrownie]

Eager to see this game, in spite of the lackluster competition. I want to see if Wilson builds on last week’s performance. Last week, 7 guys caught passes. Everyone got fed. This is huge. Guys are happy

[Apollocreed]

I believe in Najee, and have ever since we drafted him. When given a functional offensive line and a competent OC, Najee produces. WE have to do better by him.

0:52 Typically we beat the best and lose to the rest...

What up DK? All I know is if we're going to win this division (which would give us the best chance to win a playoff game) we HAVE to win this game on MNF! We will have 2 weeks to get healthy, work with Russ on being more explosive offensively and prepare for the gauntlet in the 2nd half! Love being under the radar also! Appreciate your hard work 😎

Gm DK run the ball hard i love the show your awesome DK

[frankfischer]

The Steelers' handling of Najee Harris' 5th year option, frankly sucks.

[blutomindpretzel]

Giants is a trap game. Tomlin is due for another one.

[javonbethea]

I think the game will involve more passes to Pat and Darnell along with a heavy rush attempts

[tmcdowell]

I feel that Wilson has a more practiced view of the field when things are happening. The way he found Austin wide open and got him the ball. That wasn't drawn up, it was capitalized on. That's Russ for me.

[tristinjones]

Our run game will open up alot considering most teams will double up on gp now and they gotta watch ca3 in the middle of the field

[jayvincent]

Najee was cutting like a razor shocked

[Justin_Watson]

I love this particular daily shot so much. I think the narrative has gotten a bit out of hand, & this team still has a ton of work to do to become legitimate super bowl contenters (including adding another WR). They're moving in a very positive direction for sure & that's always exciting.

PS: We don't have to constantly tear down the QB we don't prefer to make the case for the guy we like. The rhetoric has gone a bit too far, & the "incompetant" QB play ended with about 4 games left last year, not a week ago. It's why the GOAT coach said we had best QB situation (in terms of team's top 2 guys) in the league. Celebrate that, bc I know I am.

[skunkworksstudios]

If all three back are healthy and the line plays well then this is a medieval siege offense with battering rams.

[jerryyeager]

Once again they need to keep doing what they do best, run and run some more. Game two for Russell Wilson and I want to see more room to run. Here we go ! Thank you DK

The weird thing about looking at the pass D versus rush D (yards allowed per game) is that, if a team is very bad at one, they might look good at the other simply because teams aren’t trying to beat them that way. The Giants are 14th for yards per pass attempt allowed. They are last in the NFL for yards per rush allowed. This as at least as important of a measure as total yards allowed from passing and rushing, in my opinion.
