Should see this more. Maximizing touches for LF7 is paramount. $year

Swing pass out of the backfield maybe. This is what Guice is for while LF is here taking the carries.

Actually, It is a great way to get him the ball in open space

We tried this quite a few times last year but Harris couldn't manage to get it close to him 3-5yds away.

There could be a package where they motion him out and leave Guice as RB that could pose a matchup prob on the bubble or down the seam

Wasn't it a bad short pass that caused Moore to blow out his knee?

Fournette has great hands but using him as a receiver increases the possibility of a serious knee injury, especially with a QB that makes bad decisions with the ball. You have to ice and choose your spots.

they are handoff extensions through the form of air. the qb needs to accurately through the ball to the area that LF is heading towards without any defensive resistance. Leonard then accepts airborn handoff and proceeds down field as if it was a running play in an effort to get into the opponents endzone.

LF7 is a gifted receiver, when Jesuit loaded the front against St Aug he played the entire game at WR and made some great catches.

Its a joke that in two years we cant find a QB to throw him the ball.

No. It happened on a play where the pass was really shitty, but the pass didn't have much impact on how he got hit. Now the real question is why is our only advantage pass play in the book designed to get a walk on fullback the ball?

Just wanted to point out that some are saying it is not a good idea to pass to LF7 because they are worried our QB can't make an accurate pass to someone who is less than 10yds from him.

Injury was due to more of an awkward juke when he couldn't tell if he had an angle

He's not a ball carrier

Guice is certainly a capable receiver too

That over the shoulder streak to fournette against ole miss in 14 was beautiful though.

No reason not to get him involved in the passing game. The more you do with him the more the defense has to think about and watch out for

I say give them both touches every way you can get it to them
