If it feels like RB Jaylen Warren is fighting for every yard he’s gained, that’s mostly because it’s true. As shared by one stat-heavy Twitter/X account, Warren is being afforded as little running room as nearly any running back in football. Per this chart from @AccountStat, Warren is averaging roughly 0.5 yards before contact per rush, one of the worst of any starting running back.
Essentially, the chart answers the question of “how much help is the offensive line giving the running back?” In Pittsburgh, not much. That’s clear on the eye test and in the metrics.
