I Think that’s a real possibility. Fournett never really impressed me, he couldn’t get short yardage he had no moves to make people miss Nothing lost with this move.

Although I find such a move EXTREMELY unlikely, that may be our only way to get a consistent running game now. Shenault, (when healthy) is an excellent player. He is multi faceted and played a variety of positions very effectively. As a runner, he was very good and combined with his ability to catch the football, he could be a great weapon. The problem is that he would need to get at least 15 touches out of the backfield each game to get completely comfortable and I think they plan on using him much more like Cordarelle Patterson has been used throughout his career (with minimal success,) where he is primarily a WR, who many get one or two touches out of the backfield to keep defenses on their toes. Personally, I see enough stength already at WR and a complete lack of RB talent on this roster to justify making Shenault a premier RB. I just don't see that happening though.
