Imagine Leonard Fournette in last years offense. Holy shite.
I think Guice would have been a far better fit than Fournette, frankly. Guice has that shiftiness. Fournette is an underrated pass catcher though.

I think it’s possible to think Fournette and Guice are better but that CEH was just the perfect fit for this offense.
And I bring that all the way down to his in synch mind, always making the right pass block reads, always making the right safety valve reads to help Joe out of pressure.
Also I don’t think I’ve ever seen a RB certain to take a huge hit or get nailed behind the line while waiting for a swing pass and turn a certain loss into a swing and a first down. His start and stop ability, spin, agility, patience and vision to turn nothing into something. That was his super power- not home runs but a constant churn of first downs.
And for this offense, he was perfect.
Could Fournette and Guice have thrived?! Absolutely. After all our backs ran for 125 yards and almost 6 ypc against OU.
I’m just pleased that we ve had three first round RBs in the decade.

Fournette is definitely underrated catching the ball.
It’s like people expected him to have 50 catches when our team was completing 149 passes in a season.
