LOL @ Jags fan fest

[Dex]

I can't decide what the most depressing part of the video is.

If Fournette doesn't get blown up at least once during our preseason game, I'll be disappointed.

fan fest doesnt mean much but i said before the draft that Derrius Guice is the better of the LSU RBs. glad we didnt take fournette.

I'm not making assumptions about a top 5 drafted player based on one play at a fan fest but that was laugh out loud funny

I said the same.

Guice is a beast.

great minds. Guice not a bad dark horse Heisman candidate. (14-1 odds)

Fournette's never been the most agile. The fact he barely took part in much combine drills that really determine his agility already raises suspicion.

He wins with downhill running and brute force. His cuts are ones that force defenders to take bad angles at him, but they aren't elusive style cuts. Think of him as a big ol' massive truck that takes a bit to get to full speed (i.e. has to get 1 yard beyond LoS at least).

He's not good at cutting or adjusting at the line of scrimmage or before. If a defender can penetrate and get him to force and adjust, chances are the defender wins. He's deadly if he gets his downhill run lane when a QB's under center where he gets to full speed and can use that to truck and force defenders to take bad angles.

Fournette has sub-par vision. He needs a lot of work to recognize the defense, analyze his offensive linemen's blocking, and recognize the most beneficial path to take. That's why LSU usually underwent a downhill run scheme for Fournette, as that decreases the chance of him having to cut at the LoS and is very friendly in terms of easy reads.

In the example shown from Igo, Fournette falls over almost immediately when hit like cardboard. Fournette could've lessened the damage and prevented the fumble had he lowered himself, protect the ball, and use his brute strength to lessen the impact.

Fournette isn't shifty enough to cut away from something like that, so his only option is to use his supposed best "skillset" to overcome this minor obstacle. He failed miserably and likely would've ended up costing his team an easy fumble for return TD.

Guice is far superior to Fournette. Even Derrick Henry was a better prospect, and he went in the second round last year.

Agreed.

Remember when people thought the dude could truck a horse and slip like a mongoose. Well... Nope

I put more of that on the OL there.  If that DL had another half a step he could be just taken the handoff from Bortles.  Not much any RB could do there sadly.

He could have hung on to the ball. Can't just run into a DT like that.
