I'm guilty of calling out Fournette for his shortcomings, some of which he has improved upon this season.

I still hate taking him at #4 and I still think he needs a runway and typically needs more help from his line than a top ten back should, but here we are. And DeFilippo is doing what he can to make LF productive and it's working more than it's not.

I've never called him a bust and always maintained he could be productive under the right circumstances. So at least I'm not one of the half dozen posters calling him Trent Richardson 2.0. (SeldomRite, where you at?)

I REALLY wish Flip would get some misdirection plays dialed up for the red zone instead of this goal line package "impose your will" business. It's not working. Better to scheme some space than to dare teams to simply fill the interior gaps with extra bodies. Maybe try passing to a chip-then-leak TE from that formation if you're going to keep trotting it out there.
It should be clear that LF leaping into linebackers and safeties is a low percentage play by now.
