Someone has to be at fault, it's the way of the world. This group has always blamed the solution rather than the problem, it's the way of The Jungle DuvalPride.com.

You can’t blame it all on the o-line though. As someone pointed out earlier, a no name practice squad back entered the game and was averaging 4+ yards a carry behind that supposedly garbage line. It is backups and they definitely aren’t anything to write home about, but Fournette is a 4th overall pick. When you draft a running back that high, it’s expected he will be a game changer, not a RB who needs a All Pro line always.
