Jaguars Running Backs

#14

Williams is a dark horse to make this team. Marrone spoke highly of him late last season, then gave him a handful of carries and special teams work. It's a good sign when your boss tells everyone he likes you then expands your role. I think our depth chart is going to look like this:
Fournette
Armstead
Williams
Cunningham

The logic in keeping Cunningham over Blue comes down to special teams. With Chark taking on an expanded role at receiver and no one else distinguishing themselves as a kickoff returner last season, the Jags need one. Cunningham has returned over 100 kickoffs in the NFL, and while he hasn't found the endzone, he has posted over 26 yards per return. Blue has returned one kickoff. For 13 yards. Assuming the Jaguars keep four running backs, Cunningham gets my nod as the fourth guy solely because of that. If Michael Walker (UDFA WR, return specialist in college) wins the kick return job, the situation for Cunningham and Blue would change. I still think Cunningham gets it based on special teams play.

You may notice I haven't mentioned Thomas Rawls. That's because he's done. Injuries have more than taken their toll, and he'll be lucky to survive the first cut. At this point, he's like a smaller, slower, less physical kid that wants to be Marshawn Lynch when he grows up.

The fullback position is a weird one. Coughlin is allergic to paying fullbacks, which is why Bohanon is gone. The question is whether the position as a whole is on its way out. John DeFillipo had a FB in Minnesota last year, and he barely trotted him out there. If anything, I think the selection of Josh Oliver is going to instantly strip any value Flowers might have had in the passing game. Unless Flowers is a special teams standout, the team will roll without a fullback next year. Oliver will fill the H-back role (the team's already said he's a move tight end), and if they need some extra beef in the backfield in front of Fournette, Koyack if he makes the team? If he doesn't, or hell, even if he does, throw Tyler Shatley back there and watch him smash any linebacker that gets in his face.

tl;dr, Williams makes the team, Cunningham over Blue, Rawls is done, I don't think the Jaguars carry a FB next year.
