When a QB goes down in the NFL, the shift in tenor is so noticeable, that even the most casual of observers can tell something is wrong.
Inside the locker room, that loss often has ripple effects on everyone, especially those who share a backfield with the signal caller.
It seems that the loss of Kenny Pickett is weighing heavy on Najee Harris, with the Pro Bowl RB being a little too candid in his response to the media:
Not Very Enthusiastic
There's a glass-half-full and a glass-half-empty version of looking at this series of quotes from Najee Harris.
The glass-half-full side, is that he is loyal to Kenny Pickett and fully believes that he can and will lead the team as their starting QB.
The glass-half-empty side is that Najee either doesn't like Mitch Trubisky, or is already checked out now that the Steelers starting QB has gone under the knife and will be out for the foreseeable future.
There's also a chance that Harris just didn't feel like talking to the media and offered up a half-a** response.
It's not like he's usually enthralled to answer questions, as following Sunday's loss vs. Arizona, he skipped media availability for the third time this season.
So I'm not entirely sure what to make of the situation. Pittsburgh didn't tweet out the video of him and Heyward addressing the media, potentially suggesting the PR team knows the controversy that Harris just stirred up.
But for Trubisky, the last thing he needs is to think the starters around him don't believe in him. He's going to need all the help he can get if Pittsburgh is going to make the playoffs with him at the helm.
It seems like Harris is going the route of: "He's gonna have to show me," before he gives Trubisky a bode of confidence.
