Battled injuries last year. He's being tasked to pick-up a new offensive system with a rookie QB in front of him and an inconsistent offensive line that loves to consistently [BLEEP] the entire offense over when a critical play is made at any stage in the game. 

When they just line it up in a traditional "[BLEEP] You. We know it's a power run formation and we know it's coming... but [BLEEP] you anyway we're still coming right at you". He tends to hit the hole with conviction and looks to squirm through a gap or two for a chance to crack one downfield. 

Personally I would like to see him MORE involved in the passing game. I think he has better open field ability than given credit for. And he's doing and saying all the right things now since his sit down in the off season. He's the LEAST of my concerns on offense. Need to see the TE position and offensive line positions all across the board (need depth and starters potentially for sure) addressed going into the off season.

That play on 3rd down where he had nothing but a 190lb DB in front of him... and the 190lb DB cut him down easily 2 yards short.

He looked weak, slow and lumbering. Sorry, just used to Fred Taylor and MJD and he's not even close to as quick or fast as them.

Well. Not to take anything away from those two guys but Taylor played on much better football teams with VASTLY superior lineman in front of him and Maurice had the advantage of being 5'7 and easy to lose in a crowd. 

Also. Those 190 pound DB's get paid to play football too and maybe it was just a better play by the defender there. But I am not going to sit here and crush Fournette when he's been doing his job so far this year. He would probably be better if the offensive lineman could dig their heads out of their [BLEEP] some more.
