Giving props to Fournette

#1

Great game yesterday. No real long runs, but some key runs for first downs. That third down run, when the Jags needed 11 yards, was key. 

As Bortles continues to improve, I suspect defenses will have to back off crowding the line, making Fournette's job easier.

The rushing yards surprised me. It never felt like we controlled the run game at all.. then I looked up at the scoreboard and LF had over 100 yards and the team had over 150.

And they were all SOLID yards too...no fluke fake punt or anything.  LEGIT yards

That because he wasnt getting hit in the backfield as soon as he got the ball like other games, having the full OL helps, he didnt have any huge runs but all his short runs were for 4 or 5 yards and thats what you want.

Good consistent running and yards when they were needed.
The rb's are coming into their own. Especially in the third and fourth quarters.....the seathugs were getting tired.

Man, that 3rd and 11 was clutch.....great blocking and he just flew that hole. Wilson was on the sideline chomping it to bits to get back in and go for a final drive. They thought they had us stopped. Game over.

On a side note talking about our OL improvement. Bortles as been sacked only 20 times. I think there are only 3 other QB's that have been sacked less. (QB's that have started every game)
in 2016 it was 34 times.
And in 2015 he was sacked 51 times (worst in the league that year)
