Does Fournette need his vision corrected? (Literally)... no flame

Serious question - can he see defenders coming at him? Especially on kickoffs he runs straight into people, no cut no juke nothing. Kickoff return at end of regulation was comical if it wasn't puzzling. Dude got his clock cleaned and never even tried to avoid the hit, almost like he was in a trance. He also has no field vision on handoffs he just runs straight and barrels over people.

He is a damn powerful dude though, that's certain.

Just my opinion, worth every penny paid for it, is that he is still adjusting to the game.

He's gotten some of the stuff down, still needs to work on others.

By the time he leaves, he'll be something special.

Yes the kickoff was puzzling, but if he had vision issues, how would he be able to catch the kickoffs? .... So no

All the plays called from scrimmage call for him to run straight into the other team's entire defense, maybe he just lapses into that training on kickoffs?

He's playing really well lately, but all of our RBs have a tendency to run straight into a 19 man scrum a few times a game. Why not bounce outside and deal with the two defenders instead of the 3200lbs of grabass?

If that click cleaning hit on the kickoff didn't get his attention I don't know what will. Damn!!

Not that it matters, but I think Foster's hit on Fournette on the kickoff was a textbook case of targeting. He straight up led with his helmet.

One kick off, Fournette is looking to take it the distance, defender is flying in from the opposite angle, can't judge the speed; I don't think that had anything to do with vision, but where his focus was.

Magee toats the ball the the middle well though.
