Quote:There's zero reason to write TJ off as a bust. He's a great change-of-pace back to have in their stable, and he's done a pretty good job at opening up holes when the OL isn't making any. The scheme had so much more to do with the Jaguars rushing struggles than the RBs themselves.


What the Jaguars need is to install a proper running game with their scheme, and Coughlin knows precisely how to do that if Marrone doesn't. In a legit scheme, and provided they can keep him healthy, Ivory can be a fine bell-cow RB. They need to feature him as the guy unless they're able to acquire a top RB through free agency as I don't see any later round draft picks coming in and beating out Ivory. Again, I'm fine featuring Ivory, but imagine a backfield where they have an elite back (possibly Cook if you truly think he's that great) with Ivory, TJ and the speedy Grant all waiting in the wings. That would be a true stable of RBs.

I beg to differ.

In extensive opportunity.

Yeldon has not done well enough imho to be given the starter role.

In one opportunity grant absolutely did do enough to at the very least be given more opportunities to show what's next, durability, consistent pass blocking, short yardage ability...

I just don't have patience for a RB who on multiple occasions runs straight into the back of the o lineman in front of him and stumbles to the ground.
