I see the phrase "today's NFL" and other similar phrases that imply that the approach that the Jaguars are trying to take is "outdated".  That's simply not the case.  Many teams have won big games using the approach of having a good defense and a good running game.  Far too many people want to see high scoring games, blowouts, multiple deep passes and a lot of trick plays/schemes.  If I wanted to watch that I would turn on just about any college game on Saturdays.

I would rather see a defensive shoot-out and a low scoring, competitive game than a high scoring ridiculous game on Sundays.

The fact of the matter is there is not that much of a difference between the best team and the worst team in the NFL.  Super Bowls have been won in this very decade due to having a good defense and a strong running game.

As it relates to this thread, I am not ready to call Fournette a bust just yet... though that label might be fitting if he has another bad season next season.  I really want to see what he can do behind a healthy offensive line and with the team playing with a lead for a season.
