All his yardage was on big runs no consistency he’s slow off the ball we need to get a running back we need a better offense of line and one Posluszny left that was the end of stopping the run.

Fournette is a Pro RB not college. 

Fournette absolutely can make guys miss. He put a nasty spin move on a Texan in his rookie year. He also broke a DBs ankle vs the Jets this year. This stuff about him not able to make a guy miss is simply a Myth. 

He’s been one of the top rushers in the NFL for several weeks, even though our Offensive Coordinator gave him 8 carries in London. Fournette has no problem making people miss. 

He faces stacked boxes more than any other RB in the league. He also has the most yards after contact than any player in the NFL. 27 ain’t the problem. Our guards are the problem.

I don’t know what you mean by saying “he’s slow off the ball”  I honestly don’t even know what to say bc Fournette is a 4.5 guy with plenty of burst when he has room to run.

We don’t need a RB.

You said we need an “offense of line”. I would say we need guards bc Norwell and Cann/Richardson are terrible.
