Quote:It was more than a few negatives. He essentially said if you put Fournette behind a line that can open wide holes and a lead blocker that can allow him to hit that hole without having to think or make any of his own decisions then he'll be dominant. Well guess how many other running backs could do that...like all of them? 

 

He also mentioned how he was raw but willing in the blocking and passing game, which I agree with, but then made the leap that he'll be elite in both which is faaaar from a guarantee. 

 

The entire NFL is trending toward base shotgun. The answer isn't to fly in the face of the way the game has evolved over the course of the past decade plus. Especially not because you're doing it because the RB you took top 5 has to do it that way to succeed.
