That's the play where Fournette said "come on"

Watch Fournette very close....

Why are people hung up on which NFL players were faster than Leonard Fournette when he was in college? If you want to compare his speed to that of other RBs you can only use a five-week sample for all of them. Next Gen Stats did, and only Fournette ran 22 mph in that time frame.

Who’s the guy who said we should cut back on how many touches Fournette gets?

I am one of the many who have said that. Why is this being brought up though? It's obviously an argument based on long term preservation, not to try to call it as a victory for one side or another after a month. If, and more likely when, Fournette is hobbled and banged up (if not worse) in week 14 in the heat of the division/playoff race we might wish we had curtailed his carries a bit when we were ahead by 2+ scores late in some of these games.

You are jumping too far ahead. Chris Ivory has been splitting carries with Leonard Fournette. Even the coaches don't know how long that will last. Not all RBs get hurt every year. It's just a possibility, not a probability, at this point.

I think we need to win some games.  Besides, Fournette didn't look even slightly tired even after that 90 yard TD.

Because, when you get called out like that, it's either act like you won, or admit that you lost.

Mitchell (safety) committed and gave it all he had against a Mack truck, couldn't hold in his emotion after a successful hit. Lots of guys will end up on the hood on national TV trying that, its a risk. 

He didn't take him straight on but hit him hard at the perfect angle, good play. Fournette probably would have patted him on the helmet and acknowledged it too if he hadn't got all hyped up.

Even though Fournette fell for a few more yards that's about the best you can do there. He was probably stoked he won't end up another limp body on Leonard's career highlight reel.

Yeah I remember that head on collision in the first quarter, and Leonard stiff armed / threw him by on a first down run early 4th qtr that started our clock eating all run FG drive

There may have been more of course, but after that first quarter collision it looked like a little jawing but a helmet pat / show of respect after
