00:00Naji Harris becomes a valuable player, I think, for Sunday's game against Atlanta with all

00:07the quarterback stuff going on with Pittsburgh, but I guess the question is, are both running

00:12backs playable?

00:13Jalen Warren last season, George, was very playable at times for the Steelers.

00:19You know, not a terrible flex option, I guess.

00:22Maybe if you're sitting there with Higgins waiting for game day or something like that,

00:25maybe that would be a good guy to slide in.

00:29I mean, the problem is, if I'm Tomlin—now, once again, he does things differently than

00:33I am, and of course, he's a better coach than I am—I think these guys are very similar.

00:36You already said Warren had a 5.3 yards per carry last year.

00:43Now Harris only 4.1, all right, and Warren at times was the better back last year, and

00:48if I'm Tomlin, it's this simple.

00:49I don't have an offense that I can say, OK, you got the ball, throw it 25 times a game,

00:53whatever it might be.

00:54Whoever's ever playing well, whoever's ever doing the most damage is getting the carries.

00:57That's the way I'm playing it.

00:58Now, I don't think I owe either one of these guys nothing.

01:00Either one of these guys is Emmitt Smith, Barry Sanders, Walter Payton.

01:03There's no one anywhere near like this on this team.

01:05So that's my issue.

01:06It's why I stayed away here.

01:07I think Harris isn't the facto number one right now, but if he's not getting the job

01:11done, and Warren is, I think that switch could be made real quick here.

01:14So I stayed away here.

01:15Don't want either one.

01:16But yes, coming into tomorrow, I think you said it perfectly, Harris is your running

01:20back, too.

01:21Warren's a flex.
