Quote:Fournette seems to be a Tom Coughlin type running back. He is huge and has above average speed to go with his size. If Jonathan Allen is gone I wouldn't mind picking Fournette if we are able to fix the OL in free agency.

My concern with fournet is his apparent in ability to make people miss at the los.

In college...That's not such a huge thing.

In The nfl it is huge.

Look at yeldons tape from last year.

If the first defender gets near him.

He typically goes down.

Actually lol. He even sometimes runs into the back of an o lineman or right into the arms of a tackler...

It's weird....

Because yeldon does have some moves he can use to escape a would be tackler. But he doesn't always use them...

Effort?

Confidence?

Coaching?

I really don't know.

Can he be coached up to be more viscous and to trust his instincts more?

Idk.

But I do know dalvin cook did this consistently in college. Cook was repeatedly challenged at the los

And he consistently made something happen.

Looks to me like if dalvin cook comes to the NFL and continues to do what he did in college he will be much better than yeldon or ivory was last year.

Remember....Grant started one game.

And in that one game.

He had a better performance than either yeldon or ivory had in any one game over the entire year.

If I were in charge.

I'd definitely give Corey Grant more opportunities than either yeldon or ivory and see what he's got..It just makes sense.

[BLEEP] how much we paid ivory or how high yeldon was drafted.

We need to put the best players on the damn field.

Corey Grant deserves a solid shot at repeating what he did.

Period.

Any variation from that and I will suspect bs.

I suspected it last year when Corey tore it up in camp and pre season had a few fumbles and dissappeared the rest of the season until he got his chance when ivory and yeldon were Injured.
