Better without Fournette?


The reality is Fournette would be the perfect RB to make the focal point of an offense 15-20 years ago but in 2018 he is not at all. Quick look around the league shows guys like Kamara, Gurley, Mcaff, Gordon etc etc thriving on offense with their versatility and that's not what Fournette is or does.
He's a better receiver than people expected but still not gonna cause problems other than the occasional play in space. So you have 3 options...

1) Continue with a Fournette centric ground and pound attack (when he's healthy, which is rarely) and live with the consequences of a bland+conservative offense.

2) Use Fournette much more in space and as a receiver. It's not a good fit for him but I do believe he can offer more than we have seen. He doesn't have the agility to be split out wide but he can do damage in space if you get him there first.

3) Concentrate on the WestCoasty spread we diced up the Pats and Jets with , use Yeldon a lot and then try fit in Fournette when you can. He can help close out games and convert short yardage. When Blake is struggling he can shoulder the load for a period.

Now we were very effective with our Fournette centric offense last year so I'm not totally dismissing it but based on what we have seen so far we have more to give on offense than that. Option 3 is my preferred route but I'm not so sure it's the one we will see, unless of course the injury woes keep up.
