Fournette is absolutely quick laterally and trying to change directions. He doesnt look it when he is slowing down/reading blocks/thinking...but when he is 1 v 1 with a defender in space you can absolutely see it. He has light feet and can make really quick subtle moves. That jump cut to the left he did vs Sam Houston was an incredible. Defender was sitting in the hole and had fournette dead to rights and Fournette just accelerated hit that jump cut and looked like he was yard and half outside and looking back at him. That was a move Kevin Faulk used to do to create space...Fournette doing it with greater speed weighing 30 more pounds was amazing. He did play better last night, and he looks different than all the other backs...when he hits the hole hard it is at another speed than all the other backs. He is coming along, but he is def going to be a great one...forget the hype...he is for real.

At this point LSU does not have a speed back. Fornette is powerful and has good top speed, but he's not quick at this point, neither in his decisions or his footwork. Hilliard is the closest thing we have to a back that is "quick" which is saying something based on his tentative performances in previous years.
It's looking like having a back like Guice coming in next year will be more of a necessity than a luxury.

Leonard just needs to do what he's been doing his entire football career and he'll be fine. Everyone belived he was going to look like Adrian Peterson whipping arse with a branch from day one. In time his talents will mesh with expectations.

There were a couple plays where he read his blocks wrong, would have had much more yardage...I think once he calms down/settles in and realizes every play doesnt have to be magnificent...that 4-5 yard runs are ok too...he will be even better because he will play faster, not overthink things. I also love that Cam is putting Hilliard/Williams as fullback/inside runners on plays where they threaten LF to the outside...they dont need to be blockers on those plays...so thats a great way to get the big backs on the field together and pressure the linebackers/safeties.

I agree, OP. Except for the part about Leonard not having lateral quickness.
Every game, he's going to get better, culminating in winning the natty in his final game as a Tiger.

Actually they probably won't. The expectations were set waaaayyy too high for LF. He will be a good back for LSU and one day may end up being all-SEC, but he'll never be the AP type of back people were saying he'd be. He's just not that quick, elusive or good.

He runs upright, that doesn't = stiff
He really does not run upright...Eric Dickerson ran upright. What Fournette does NOT have is loose hips and that makes him look stiff. Bo Jackson and Hershel Walker were the same way, but they ran HARD and they had coaches that turned them loose, especially Walker as a freshman.

That's what I mean by meeting expectations. He will be a very good SEC running back. All the Peterson comparisons and talk of Heismans are delusional at this point.

He would have 400 yards already on any other team. They use him as a decoy alot, but he needs more carries. 20-25 carries and the kid averages 125-150 easy.

I wish they would screen to him like the saints do with p.t.
that would be exciting.

They'd better let Harris throw it then because Jennings worse pass is the screen.

No. I just think you're a stupid fricking twat. But I'm sure your mom loves you anyway, you fricking stupid twat.

Looks like our best back in the last 2 games.
Magee looks like out worst back, but the curse of #18 means Miles will play him more than he should.
