I really do think Hyde can be a good player.  Many of us liked him when he played for the Browns and the Niners. It's not fair to judge him behind this battered OL of scrubs, most of who won't be here next year.

If cutting Hyde is essential to getting Foles, I guess it makes sense. You have to make sacrifices somewhere. I'm more sensitive to cuts on defense---since it was the defense that brought us to the dance last year.

What do you mean depended on Fournette, he had a hamstring injury, you wanted him to come back and play on it sooner, thats one of the worst things you can do. If Fournette come to camp in shape and ready to go he is fine. Hyde was awful, did you not see the last game of the year, we rushed for like 13 yards, and people wonder why Fournette couldnt do anything behind that OL, at least he could get 50 yards.

His hamstring is the least of his problems. Last year he was suspended for missing practice. This year, Coughlin jumped on him for not paying attention the game (Houston, we-lost 3-20). And there was the issue in Buffalo, when he lost his temper and wound up sitting out the next game. My question is, does Fournette want to play in Jacksonville? In the NFL?  No, at this point I would say we can't depend on Fournette.
