If you purport to be a ball control, 'run first' O, shouldn't you use several backs to attain that feat, and for change of pace/varying running styles purposes, to test Ds?  That's how the top rush O was accomplished in 2017; with Yeldon and Grant chipping in, even when a better-playing Fournette missed several games.

KC game, I get.  It ran away from them; had to play catch up.  Texans game was a defensive stale mate from the onset.  Utilize the other backs since LF was getting stoned.  

Deviating further, the Texans were geared to stop the run anyway, while their backfield appeared vulnerable.  Throw a bit more in that instance, nickel and dime em, loosen things up front, then go over the top here and there.  Could have potentially netted more points faster than in the last two desperation drives when they did just that.  Even in that 2 point conversion, I was convinced that a small roll out and toss to your perimeter guys away from the mass of humanity in the middle could have resulted in a walk in score.  Ah well, moving on.  They are going to win tomorrow, rather tidily I may add, and with conviction.  Go Jags.

That’s a great question. I have no clue why they feel Fournette needs 100% of the carries.
