quote:Not going to imply Fournette is a bad apple in the locker room, but it wouldn't surprise me if he was in Harris' corner. They came in together, and I could see where the 2 expected to be the starting backfield for their careers here.
He's not real happy that Harris was benched, in my opinion.
I don't expect that there is any issue regarding that, though.
What MIGHT be a problem, is this: Fournette might have a problem regarding who is THE MAN. He came in as THE MAN, he's used to being that, and we (the fans) like that he is. He definitely is the Alpha Dog out there...
BUT, he's a RUNNING BACK. And this is not 1977, it's 2016, and nowadays, you need your QB to be the leader if you want to run a good offense.
Harris might have developed his problems, not so much with the scheme, but by conceding too much to Fournette.
Etling threw 30 passes last night, something Fournette is not accustomed to. He might have to adjust to not being the total #1 focus of the offense, from an ego standpoint.
