No need to be Envious of the Colts Deal

Fournette faced 8 men in the box more than anyone else because we ran 9 men in the box more than anyone else first. It wasn't because teams were scared of Fournette, it's because we mathematically forced them to. When we ran 11 personnel there weren't 8 in the box. Magic, I know. If you want more evidence, Chris Ivory faced 8 in the box on a higher percentage than Fournette. It sure as hell wasn't because teams were just mortified of Ivory. ...

Yep. I feel like I've been saying this until blue in face around here. Thanks for adding more facts to support it. 

The Jags' choice of run formations forced the loaded box.  When they added receivers to the formation, teams unloaded pretty commonly.  Seemed like bunch and trips formations (predictably) were especially effective in backing teams out of the box. 
In year two of a Hackett offense, I expect to see more usage of that.  Lots of ways to be creative from that set - and Hackett has shown a fondness for running multiple permutations of a play while giving the defense the trap of a familiar look.
