No chance. Why even pose this?

Quote:Running Back (4, 7)http://www.firstcoastnews.com/sports/nfl.../468479040
Leonard Fournette, Chris Ivory, T.J. Yeldon, Corey Grant (KR) (4, 7)
Rationale: Fournette will likely split touches with Ivory and Yeldon early on, especially after suffering a foot injury that has cost him at least two preseason games. Yeldon is expected to be the third-down back, while Ivory will handle short-yardage duties. Likely to be named the starting kickoff returner, Grant will also be used in specific packages on offense.
Cuts: Jonathan Grimes, Tim Cook, DuJuan Harris, Marquez Williams (FB), Tommy Bohanon (FB)
Tight End (4, 11)
Marcedes Lewis, Ben Koyack, Mychal Rivera, Alex Ellis (FB) (4, 11)
Rationale: Lewis and Koyack have both produced strong training camps. Both are strong blockers and have the ability to catch the ball. Ellis has impressed as a Swiss Army knife on offense, playing tight end and fullback. His emergence may force Tommy Bohanon and Marquez Williams off the roster. Rivera has been injured throughout training camp and the preseason, but the team clearly has faith in him.
Cuts: Caleb Bluiett, David Grinnage, Neal Sterling

Same reason Fournette isn't, saving it for the games that count.

Have you read the thread title? That's one reason why.
Not to mention - it should've been obvious that I was making an attempt to steer the topic back to football and not personal squabbles.
Also, one of the better beat writers for this team is speculating that it may happen:

Get on topic. Further personal attacks will earn you formal warnings.
Sheesh, people. You know the rules around here.

My apologies and i will try to be more mindful in future situations but don't just single me out when others do the same things as well. As far as the topic concern just let the situation play out instead of just writing out the season as a fail at this point.

Fournette missed time with an injury and would have played with the starters if he was healthy. No, he was not saving it for the games that count.
Preseason games are for new players including seventh round draft picks, and we have gone several years without a true fullback. If Williams is healthy, I would start him.

Foutnette would've played if the game mattered. Williams, who was on the PUP just a month ago, would've played if the game mattered.

I agree that we need to see a number of situations play out in regular season games before writing off the season.
Primarily QB and O-Line.

Couldn't agree more. I've seen teams have "issues" in pre-season, but sometimes when the reg. Season roles around, the "issues" seem to disappear. It will come down to coaching...something we will find out soon enough.
