Just showed a stat.. he faces a “stacked” box 43% of the time, the most in the nfl

If other teams thought he was a poor rb, there is no way he'd be leading the league in this stat.

He had a great rookie season followed by a season with injuries and horrible qb play. He would be putting up Zeke-like numbers in Dallas.

Not bad for the NFL

Know your shite before you make dumb posts

He had one rush for 68 yards and the other 14 were for a combined -2 yards. Not what you want to see. His stat line is horrible and he’s getting fricked by his awful linemen

28 - 1 is not 14.

LF has and will be only as good as the Oline/QB in front of him . He is not a cut back or shifty guy. If the jags ever get a Qb and a good line he will put up good numbers. Currently jags have avg QB and avg Line he will just be AVG.

Yes wish Leonard was on a different team that had a better line so he could run all over the place. However, it is his job and he is a millionaire many times over. I'm sure its frustrating for him until he looks over his bank statement and investment portfolio.

Let's not forget LF basically quit last year.

I'm kind of tired of folks around here making excuses for him.

LF needs to remember that.


He's already talked about him cutting ties with his bad habits and the bad people around him before the season started. Maybe you need to listen up before talking shite.

His Oline didn’t create one hole last night. Even on the 70 yard run there was no hole just a slight push then he broke tackles and turned it on. The guy is an absolute stud, if he played for someone like Dallas he’d put up the same type of numbers Zeke does.

Running is a lot harder in the pros, I recall Jacksonville was in position win a divisional playoff and possibly get to the super bowl, before Goodell put the call into the refs: New England has to win guys...The team has obviously regressed since then.

Immediately 3 people on him in the backfield as soon as he’s handed the ball. Throw him a damn screen pass Jaguars.

not necessarily, although his running style isn't the best for today's NFL.

I was incredibly shocked the Jags used such a high pick on Fournette - or ANY running back. It's just not as valuable a position in the NFL as it was 20 or 30 years ago.

Without a good OL, even the best RB will struggle. And the converse is true: with a good OL, even an average RB will do well.

The moral: don't waste high picks on RBs.

Easily Jags eas one of, if not not THE worst O-Line in the NFL.
