I know a lot of people were excited when the team grabbed Armstead, but maybe Flip doesn't think his raw talents project to helping the team now? Its not like last year where the team had Yeldon and Hyde, who had both shown they could shoulder some load. That said, despite my optimism for Fournette heading into this year, I think its time to start giving Armstead carries.

I just hope the team doesn't overreact again and trade a draft pick for a backup that they don't use...

I wonder if Fournette is going through "QB-behind-bad-line" syndrome where he's feeling ghosts before he even gets to the hole. A lot of his carries these past 3 years he's been hit at the line or behind the line. Maybe his tenativeness is from expecting to be hit so he's overthinking his runs. Given his main issue since being drafted has been finding the best running lanes on a given play, overthinking his runs is probably the worst thing that could happen for his career...

He has never known how to hit a hole. Go watch him play against Alabama. He couldn't get it done because the huge holes weren't there. Now they are playing him every down and he is doing nothing.

Look at the 2 pt try. There was a bigger hole between the RT & TE. There also wasn't a defender waiting with his feet set. He could have also dived into the end zone.
