guys like Dalvin Cook and Henry? Is it just a matter of playing in a worse offense? Or is he simply just not as good?

I’ll stan LF till the day I die, but it’s seems peculiar he hasn’t been as good as you think he would with the natural talent he has.

His o-line is not very good.

Jacksonville has a trash offensive line for starters. Just as he did under Les Miles, he has faced more loaded boxes than any other back.

Because of the head coach and the guy that did not like fournette in coughlin. Not many people liked coughlin.

Injury, but he has had multiple 200 yard games in his career and multiple 1000 yard seasons.

What difference are you looking for?

LF led the Jags to the AFC championship too.

He almost took his team to the Super Bowl as a rookie.

O line. Qb. System, play calling.

Drafted by Jax and not Vikings.

Heck think if he was behind that Cowboy OLine.

Henry and Cook are better. LF isn't a bad nfl back but he's in the 2nd tier

Henry sucked for several years. It helps when you get competent QB and line play. Titans have done a better job sticking to their identity of playing good D and running the ball down your throat until you start gashing them in the 2nd half. Jags are in disarray in every facet.

The Fournette VS Henry debate is yet again defined by who has the better supporting cast.

ETA - ok let me clarify. Henry didn't "suck" but he wasn't a world beater and not putting up huge numbers at first. Now the Titans have a better coaching staff and QB play, and now he's crushing. I'm not disparaging Henry, I think he's great. Just commenting on how talent isn't the only factor in production

He’s run out of the I-form his whole career.

Well Cook and Henry play for playoff teams. Jacksonville does not even resemble an NFL team. LF7 needs to get the hell out of there.......would love to see him on the Chiefs.

He literally has no help.

No o line, no receivers to help pull guys out of the box, rookie QB who might be good but he is having the same problems.

The organization of run terribly. They have 22 players up for free agency and are already over the cap. So they are in trouble.

On top of the fact he has struggled with injuries.




Also the dude who said Barry Sanders, you are dumb bruh. Yeah maybe the best RB of all time, no doubt top 3, should be the bar we set for all RBs. His skill set was also the type to help him have success without a line. Quick, shifty, great moves to make guys miss.


Leonard would literally have to run over the guy who hits him behind the line...the guy who hits him at the line...and the guy 2 yards beyond...just to get into the second level.

It’s pretty simple. Henry and Cook are on teams that are in the playoffs and LF isn’t. When your team is pretty bad like the Jaguars are you probably have bad OL play. Not many bad teams have a good OL in the NFL. So to answer you question bad team = bad OL = no production out of your running back.

LF looks to0 thick to me, I think he should trim down at least 10 lbs

Ol is not great, then add injuries to the list of problems

He earns into a brick wall probably 75% of the time. Zero offensive creativity. It’s like he’s in the same offense as his LSU days.
