As the Pittsburgh Steelers prepare for their Week 3 game against the New England Patriots , attention is turning to the team’s running back unit. Former NFL coach and analyst Jon Gruden has weighed in, sending a pointed message to Mike Tomlin . Amid this, rookie Kaleb Johnson is struggling, raising questions about the Steelers’ strategy and depth chart heading into the game.
Here’s what Gruden had to say regarding the possibility of Jaylen Warren this Sunday: ”I think Warren needs to get 20 carries, 17-20 carries. And I think he needs to be featured in the passing game.
