If you've watched any game you can see the corner, LB and safety blitzes are coming on a consistent basis and the defenses are playing close to the line of scrimmage. It makes it difficult for WR's to gain separation in press coverage and defenses are trying to test Bortles. He doesn't have the time to throw so they send Fournette running into a stacked defense.

Exactly how we feel with your lack of football knowledge. Putting more wr out wide means less blockers for the run as well. Typically with an I formation there is a FB as well which is Fournettes preferred way of one cut running and choosing his lane off a FB block vs zone schemes (Google it as I'm Sure u have no idea what that means). So a I formation is standard 2 backs one TE and 2 WRs and lines up 7 defenders in the box leaving two safeties and two CBs in coverage.

We run a ton of that formation and variants of it with fournette in and defenses are still bringing a safety down (the 8th player in the box) leaving single safety over top coverage or even going zero coverage and bringing both safeties down - essentially saying we'd rather get beat by Bortles than let Leonard run all over us... Which he would do if they don't bring extra help. To be blunt - your reply is just dead wrong. We do run some jumbo packages with every rb but it's not the base formation with him or any rb in.
