Am I the only one wondering whether Fournette doesn’t care quite so much about being good at football since he got that first NFL paycheck?

Henry would make one HELL of an edge rusher in the league.


That’s why Brandon Jacobs didn’t go to LSU, Sabes wanted to make him a DE

Went JUCO and Auburn instead

Yeldon is averaging 4 ypc with this horrible blocking.

Leonard is at 3.5.


We've been over this before, but let's do it again.

Yeldon getting 8+ in the box on 19% of his carries.

Fournette gets it on 35% of his carries.

Oh.


Ok ok, fine.

LF is, I guess, a little bit better than TJ Yeldon.

It was long, but more so a product of horrendous tackling. He was running slow as shite.

1. What.the.frick?
2. Since when has your top speed on a run determined its greatness?
3. Henry is probably in the top 5 fastest RBs in the league. And it his size, that's absurd.

Some of it? Sure. Some of it was him using his signature move to keep defenders off his body.

He made AT LEAST one guy look like a toddler on his way to a 99 yard TD run.

But hey, he didn't look fast!!!

Almost every great run features horrible tackling.

And you don’t cover 99 yards with several players chasing you running slow as shite. He always looks like he’s running slow but he isn’t.

Ehh, pretty sure it was like the 8th fastest run in the NFL this year.

And he had the fastest top speed of the year on a run later in the game.

And I believe he was top 3 last year.

Ummm

Derrick Henry reached 21.74 MPH on his 54-yard touchdown run, the fastest speed by a ball carrier on a touchdown run this season.


wasn't the same run, but to say that he was running slow is pretty dumb.

Yeah, Henry's strides are so long that it looks like he is running slow. There aren't too many videos of him getting caught from behind once he starts hitting full gear.

That swing pass at the end

He was playing against children in that game. At least that's what he made it look like.

I'm starting to pack my things for the LF7 Bust train. This crow tastes bad.

this is a fact. Another fact is that his ypc is much lower (this is as of a Nov 11, 18) when he faces 1-7 in the box than when 8+ in the box.
How would you explain that?

3.48 YPC with 1-7 in the box since ‘17 vs 4.37 when 8+ in the box.
