The offense has come to life, and I think the most important thing that we're starting to see right now is the Steelers, whether they want to or not, have leaned on Jalen Warren based on necessity, and it's turning out really, really well for him in just what a performance he's put up, not only this game, but what he did against the Bengals a few weeks ago.
You know, they wanted to be this spread them out, three wide team, throw the ball a ton, which they did the first couple weeks of the season.
Now, all of a sudden, they're discovering a ground game and starting to throw to those tight ends.
I feel like at every point, step of his career and almost every play he exceeds expectations like you didn't expect a undrafted rookie to make the team he makes the team you know he was behind Najee Harris and you know it was kind of like well you know maybe he's just thriving in against lighter boxes or whatever it might be that wasn't the case and now finally given the opportunity to be a feature back he's one of he's legitimately we could talk about him as one of the top three to five backs in the NFL right now
Naturally, his teammates were glowing, wanting to just gush and rave about the performance they've seen from him.
I followed up on that after the game and just asked him, you know, what impresses you so much about what he does.
But then you see Jalen Warren kind of Tossing it right back and being, you know, in the humbleness that he shows, just giving credit right back to his teammates saying, hey, the offensive line had themselves a day.
This is the camaraderie that this group has built over the last couple of weeks.
And it just seems so fitting to see Jalen Warren in this way, knowing the person he is and knowing the conversations that we've had with him in the locker room throughout the years.
