After being used sparingly in 2014, second year running back Josh Harris might be used in a specific role in 2015.

Maybe, Josh Harris can be the thunder to Le'Veon Bell's lightning.

The Steelers could use a power, short range back in their otherwise dynamic offense. There's a chance Harris could be that guy...

He seems rather small to be labeled thunder. Cameron Stingily seems to be a better fit for that department.

We were in the top 1/4 of the league in 3rd down conversions.

Bottom half of the league in Red zone TD scoring Percentage

Being tied for number 1 in passing yards and having the best all purpose back in the leage there is no reason we can't be better in these categories in 2015.

To this article, not sure Harris will be a difference maker in short yardage, whether 3rd and short or red zone.

I was just talking on 3rd down and short.....The Steelers not need a short yards back with Bell

For the red zone, the Steelers only need to be better on the road, because at home it is very respectable(60%)....On the road, it was awful(40%)

No. You don't take your best player off the field when you don't have to. Especially in critical situations like third and short.

I love how Tiki's efforts to become a media darling failed miserably, while Strahan is killing it every where he goes. It turns out Tiki and is unlikeable a hole so I am glad he is total FAIL. Then he tried to make a comeback playing and not a single team was interested. As a player, Tiki was underrated (after Coughlin got him to stop fumbling).
