Quote:This, if anything that post actually made Fournette look pretty good, but somehow Fournette was still criticized lol.

We know his per carry yardage up the middle is average, and we know his per carry yardage out of shotgun is well below average, so we can surmise that his solid stacked box numbers come from the large number of toss/sweep plays that avoided the box entirely. He had an insane 11.something AY/C on tosses. This is where using some nuance can be helpful. Of course Achilles wouldn't think to try that though. 

 

Nothing in his profile suggests that he will fare well against stacked boxes in the NFL, cause he ain't beating NFL caliber athletes to the corner on tosses like he did in college and everywhere else he's average to below average.
