He can’t make anyone miss in the open field, he slow off the handoff, and maybe in college you can put your shoulder down and run through linebackers But that don’t happen in the NFL you Gotta make guys miss at least the first guy he hasn’t shown nothing to make me believe he’s going to be a good running back. I know the offense of line ain’t that good but you tell me one game this year where he was a consistent running back. Most of his yardage came on very long run plays that four point something Per carry yardage that O-Zone and And the crew keep talking about on drive time is completely skewed by long runs. After having running backs like Fred Taylor and Jones DrewIn my opinion he’s been a Disappointment.

I think it’s time to get someone who is fast complement fornette. We need a guy like Dalvin cook or Kamara who is quick out of the backfield and can make people miss. Fornette  should be a rotational player, not an every down back.

I agree we do need a scat back. My problem with Fournett is he supposed to be a power back yet he can’t push anybody forward when he hits the line. You expect something more like the Bus, Riggins, And Larry csonka. Certainly I don’t expect him to be as good as those running backs mentioned, but you’re on the goal line with one yard to go he hits the line and he stopped dead in his tracks. How many times have we seen that. I thought he was supposed to be a power running back. Unless there’s some drastic change it’s just another first round pick thrown out the window.
