Fournette’s redemption

So proud of this guy!
Literally was responsible for 65% of the Jags offense last year and they released him! Since he came into the league no other player has had to run into a more 9 man boxes than Fournette. No team has respected the Jacksonville passing game over the course of his career. Just like in college Fournette continually had to run into 8 and 9 man fronts. While many people will argue he hasn’t lived up to the hype I think he has done rather well so far considering the circumstances. Then he lands in Tampa right before the season starts and has to learn a new offense and fight for a position behind an up and coming back in Ronald Jones. Despite being banged up and having limited touches he kept fightin.
The last 4 games Fournette totaled 448 yards and 4 TDs and was a pivotal piece of the Tampa run through the playoffs and a huge part of the SB win last night. Couldn’t be more happier for this guy.

Henry will probably never win a superbowl where he's at, so guess leonard laughs last.

isn't he a Free Agent now? Could negotiate a big contract with whomever?

I would just stay there and negotiate more rings with Brady.

Show me one play in Fournettes career where the defense didn’t have at least one high safety. I’m waiting.
I’m not shitting on Buga, I just don’t think y’all know what you’re talking about when y’all repeat this garbage

It’s a literal stat that during his time on the Jags Leonard ran against the most stacked boxes in the league
I believe his rookie season he was #2 in this stat and his 2nd season he was #1
Saying he didn’t run against stacked boxes is a joke.
Also, you can keep a single high safety and still stack the box with 8

Call it whatever you like, ever since he was a freshman at LSU he has had to run against defenses that didn’t really have to respect the passing game.

I am still not laughing about 2015
but still happy for LF7

What happened to LF in Jacksonville happens to a lot of players. You come from a winning program in college and go to a shitty ran NFL team and for the first time in your career you are a loser. It's hard for anyone to keep focused and be a team player when playing for these teams. The Jags had a lot of turmoil going on in there front office that rubbed LF the wrong way, I'm sure it felt like a slap in the face for the work he put in to be treated the way he was. Leaving the Jags was the best thing to happen to him.

You know what 8 isn’t? NINE! The guy said “nine man boxes”.

He was this close to playing in the Super Bowl his rookie year with JAX, losing a close game to you know who. Their defense was supposed to carry them the next year and many thought they might make the SB but the wheels came off and now he won one in Tampa with you know who. Life’s a trip.

They were heading in the right direction until Tom Coughlin ran them in to the ground.

I’d love to see him remain in TB
