There were no holes. I'll tell you a secret strategy that all head coaches employ. When there are no holes they don't fix that by putting in their second best back. It was quite excusable.

BTW, I notice that when the New England Patriots are struggling to pass block they don't pull Tom Brady, either.

You're oversimplifying it. Fournette and Guice are quite different in the backfield. Fournette attacks the hole and powers through it. Guice is more elusive in the backfield and more effective bouncing on broken plays. While it probably wouldn't have made a huge different, I feel like his skill set warranted a look.

Apples and oranges.
