Leonard Fournette vs Derrick Henry So Far
Posted on 10/6/14 at 3:11 pm

Just a little perspective for everyone since Henry was viewed as one of the country's top backs coming into this season:
LF - 66 attempts, 364 yards, 5.5ypc, 4 TDs, long rush of 40 yards, 5 receptions, 88 yards
DH - 70 attempts, 357 yards, 5.1ypc, 2 TDs, long rush of 25 yards, 1 reception, 25 yards
Which passing game has been more anemic? Which team has a better offensive line? Just a little perspective for the clowns that think Fournette has been a disappointment. He doesn't control how many touches he gets, the play calls, or the play of his OL.

Fournette is awesome. I don't know why we don't use him.

LF needs to play more

It's actually one of the saddest things about this season.

No way sunshine!!! In our scheme?
That is awesome...and just think if he would look up and see the hole develop somewhere besides the designed area...he has missed a lot of opportunities by not being patient or using his field of vision...It will come...this isn't the catholic league he playing against this year...

Nice comparison.
I feel like something happened to Henry between last season and this one. There's no way it's the same guy out there.

To be fair kiffen doesn't use him right either. He'll plow straight ahead for 12 yards then they'll send him trying to beat the defense to the edge.

He's is playing well. Expectations were way too high. We were all pumped as soon as we heard he was torching our D every day in practice. We just didn't think it was because our D was so very very bad.

I said it earlier.
The Lane Kiffin hire is not the excellent hire that everyone thought it was, and it was primarily because they were never tested until now.

We need to run the ball more
Posted on 10/6/14 at 3:22 pm to AlexLSU
Rotation needs to be LF7 / DW34 / Whoever

I'd like to see Fournette and Williams get the majority of the carries going forward. Fournette could certainly benefit from a few rushes to the outside since we're so weak on the interior of the line.

exactly. Henry clearly has the better situation, yet looks worse than Fournette. Guy is doing all he can with the shite in front of him, and the coaches holding him back on touches.
He doesn't come in til the fourth drive, gains 22 yards on 3 straight runs, misses the next drive, then gets 8 yards on 2 carries, then we don't see him for the length the of a quarter (the second half). By that time, we go from 17-7 to 31-7. The defense sells out to stop the run, and then none of the RBs were effective after that.
I don't think I saw him go out for a pass once, but the trot Williams and Magee out with less speed, to do virtually nothing.
It is so frustrating and I hate to see people calling him just another typical RB, when he is pretty much being handcuffed by the coaching staff.

LF yards came from stacked boxes too. Henry has the benefit running out of spread formations.

We should run more off left tackle. I think only 9 of 40 running plays vs aub went that way.

Media, and no, I didn't listen to them.

That's ignorant. The carries they both are getting is about right. Magee and Hilliard have earned their carries. LF and DW will have their turn.
