He’ll improve simply by staying healthy. His running was drastically different last year in the first versus second half of season.

He should stop doing that spin move and start just making decisive cuts as he approaches guys. Also cutting it back toward the middle instead of running into a tackler on the sidelines every now and then would be good, too.

Guy leaves a lot of yards on the field that just a small amount of wiggle and decisiveness could get him.

Except that whole thing where Henry is terrible running inside and is always trying to go outside while Fournette is pretty good as a gap scheme and power scheme runner that can be counted on to hit the hole, even when the defense has it plugged. Confused

Henry was trying to make the most of his limited touches because stubborn mularkey stuck with demarco long after demarco was hobbling along like a 72 year old. 
Henrys yards per carry were still better than fournette, so you must be wrong again.

I'm not talking stats, I'm talking running style. You're the one that said Fournette reminds you of Henry. (dumb as that statement is) What do stats have to do with running style?

When comparring quarterbacks do you only think about throwing motion?

One of the dumbest posts you've ever made. Running style isn't comparable to throwing motion at all. It's almost like you're talking about how long their gait is. No, running style for running backs would be comparable to which throws QBs are good at and like to make, and how likely they are to take off running in certain situations, not something arbitrary like throwing motion.

If you're saying you essentially said nothing of value in your original post then we're in agreement.

Calling it an argument is going too far, I'm just enjoying some passing banter on the message board.

I said fournette reminds me of henry. You chose one aspect of their playing style thats different but ignored the many ways they are similar. Thats fine, you dont have to see things the way i do. We can disagree
