That is a great breakdown of Fournette, reps Okeana.
This to me shows why he just would not fit here. He is primarily a gap scheme runner with great size, burst,
speed that is not the best at catching the ball out of the backfield. We would have to completely change our
whole mindset as an Offense if he came here. We would be way too predictable.
This is taking nothing away from Fourette's freakish ability with his breakaway speed for his size which is
almost incomparable to any RB since like Earl Campbell.
We are not a good run blocking team which is where Fournette would thrive, we do not have an OC who can
gameplan to get our RB's going, we need a RB that can catch the ball out of the backfield and make a Defense
pay if they forget about the running game. Dalvin Cook to me is the much better back for us if we go RB in the
first round.
