He's gonna wreck shite in a single back spread, just like he did in HS.

I love Fournette, but you could argue that Guice is better. Especially given Leonard's proclivity for injury.

Umm... He's sustained one injury in college. An injury that lingers for months. If Guice suffered a high ankle sprain, he'd be in and out for months too.

DUDE. He hurt his ankle. Only injury that kept him out. Use smaller words.

He will absolutely wreck shite in a one back spread scheme- once he gets an opening he's gone

Would have been nice if he got more than 2 carries against Alabama.

As a package I'll go with guice, lot more patient runner and his cuts are better. Fournette is more powerful and faster but is wide open before hole opens and gets impatient and just sticks his head in there and gets 2 or 3 yards, where guice doesn't go wide open and waits for a crease then cuts through and accelerates. Wish he would have gotten a lot more touches against Bama. There were a couple of runs Fournette missed a simple cut back and there was real estate to take it to the house. Because of Guice's patience I think he could have hit those runs.

Hindsight is 20/20. Fournette should have had surgery immediately after the injury do that he would be 100% by now and for combine time.

Fournette is faster. Period. Guice barely beat him in a foot race a few weeks ago when LF had a sprained ankle.

Makes you wonder why we didn't run one sweep with Guice on the last series with Florida huh? Or Guice in the wildcat.

Fournette is by far the most impressive combination of size, power, and speed. Not to mention a great young man and leader. He will be a dominant NFL player and I'll enjoy every minute. But Derrius is faster. Every coach on the staff will verify this fact.

I can recall many a time when the defense had the angle on Fournette in open field and he just kicked it into a higher gear and left them in the dust.
