Score was 17-7 and he returns the KO to the 29. Best part about it, the guy he runs over gets over LF like he made the tackle. Classic

edit: Different play, but he hits another guy.

Looks like 37 got hit by his own man, it was 32 that Fournette put his shoulder into.

Not that one. It was the KO after Wisky made it 17-7

Yeah, I just edited after I realized that one was farther than the 29.

You start a thread about Fournette running over a 5'8, 160lb kicker, like that is something great?

Fournette definitely looks fast and shifty in that gif. If we can get him some holes to run through he is going to be nasty.

It's not just because he's #7... but he has a similar style of running as PP7 too. Very gifted athlete. His style of running may be more similar to Trindon actually. Guess it would be from the track background.

I must've been too drunk because I don't remember that return.

I remember seeing him absolutely level a white guy who I assumed was the kicker.

Given the number of people who have gone from praising the unseen potential of LF to criticizing limited use in one game, I don't find a post that seeks to paint some of his plays in a positive light to be worthy of derision.

LF did a pretty good job in my opinion. I think he got a little excited and didn't absolutely make the most of his chances, but people are being more critical of his performance than is warranted.

The gif a couple posts above you is a good return. LF picked a decent seam, ran through the first two tackle attempts and gained 7-8 yards after that first contact. I don't have his returns memorized, but each one was pretty productive. Yeah, I'm sure Barry Sanders might've done a little better... maybe... but I don't get anybody here being critical of LF as a kick returner. And who cares if a kicker made one of the tackles-- presumably after LF sort of ran over him (which I can't verify without re-watching). Kickers make tackles all the time.

I saw a lot of promise in LF's limited duty last night.

Caputo stopped him pretty well one on one. But I think LF will be very good, but if Hilliard keeps running like he did and Magee does well we don't need to see him in many games.

Heck, if any of our RB's get a whole series without having to run back and forth between the sidelines they will all do well.
