Why can't the Steelers run the football?

PITTSBURGH -- For Najee Harris, the Pittsburgh Steelers offense is like sculpting a statue. It requires patience to chip away, to methodically craft and finetune a work of art.

“You gotta keep crafting and keep working, you know what I mean?” Harris said Tuesday. “Obviously you guys want answers right now, but that's just not how things work around here. Questions don't get answered the next day. Things don't get fixed the next day. It takes time. We understand that and that’s why I try to keep everyone together.”

But through eight weeks, the Steelers offense is closer to a hunk of unpolished marble than it is from a masterpiece.
