STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

McCarthy's pass-heavy scheme favors Warren over Dowdle in Pittsburgh backfield.

Harris is less excited about Rico Dowdle in Pittsburgh despite his success in Mike McCarthy's offense during their time together in Dallas. McCarthy's offenses have finished 11th in pass attempts and 18th in rush attempts over his 24 seasons as an offensive coordinator or head coach, leaning heavily into three-receiver sets. McCarthy wants to be pass-heavy, and Jaylen Warren is a better fit for that scheme than Dowdle.
