Use Leonard as the 3rd down back and let Guice have the starting role next week.

Could be the perfect mix for now. Gets Guice plenty of touches, and also mixes Leonard in but limits his touches, in case you absolutely need him in at the end. I think it would work great. Letting Guice put in the workhorse load, and using Leonard for 3rd and short plays would be $

If Leonard is healthy you run him. He is faster than Guice and has the break away speed

Is he really faster? Guice seems so damn quick! Two different things I guess.

I think when they break one, Leonard seems to take it to the house allot more than Wun Guice breaks one. Just saying, but Guice was nice tonight. It's a great thing to argue about when you have both of them back there!

I wouldn't use fournette against ole miss until it's proven necessary

Guice has earned his touches, and Fournette needs to be spoon fed in. We dont need to just pound fournette Les Miles style. We need him to stay relatively healthy for Bama. So no you dont just run Leonard wide open, no you dont

Fournette is faster

Of course he is in the long run, but that isnt even the freaking point of this thread. Not at all.
This isnt a JJ/J Lee thing, this is about if fournette wants to play next week and is cleared, then you play him sparingly, and a 3rd down role would be perfect with Guice playing at such a high level

Thanks Coach!

No one said we need to run LF Les Miles style. No one has said that the point of this thread is who was faster. No one has said this is a comparison of JJ & JL. Why start a thread of you're just going to bitch about how people respond to it?
Calm the frick down. In my first post; I even said it's great to have both of them back there. Settle down, Francis/

I disagree on the 3rd down role. If LF can play sparingly, give him a few plays at a time. They are going to key in on Fournette hard when he's in, so give him a few plays at a time and let him be a decoy, and use screens and draws when you do actually get him the ball.

It's amazing how short some of your memories are..
Leonard Fournette is one of the best college running backs ever, but because Guice has had back to back 150 yard games, he should start and Leonard should be a 3rd down back....
Jesus... Leonard is better than Guice.
Guice is great, but Leonard is different.

Leonard has sat for a month... literally, last game he played in was Sept. 24th, Ole Miss is Oct. 22nd...
I think he'll be fine.

Why are you responding to me on this? I didn't say that. Reread the thread and maybe you will see we actually agree with one another.
Posted on 10/16/16 at 3:42 am to Tiger Nation 84
It's simple. You go with whoever is hot and giving you the best results.
Posted on 10/16/16 at 4:34 am to Tiger Nation 84
I would think use LF7 only as needed. If Guice is handling business, which he seems more than capable of doing, limit LF7 touches. After ole piss is another bye week to get 100% for the bama game.
Posted on 10/16/16 at 6:09 am to Tiger Nation 84
An 85-90% LF should stay seated. When he's 95% or more recovered, then fit him in so he can get some game shape/game reps...
Posted on 10/16/16 at 6:17 am to Tiger Nation 84
No.
If Fournette is not back (if he doesn't have the lateral quickness), then he's a liability as a 3rd down back. He has to be able to pick up the blitz, he got embarrassed the last time he tried to do that.
I'd say give him the carries you're giving to Willliams, if you insist on him playing at less than 100%. He can blast into the line still, and if he hits a crease (and doesn't get ankle tackled) he will make some big gains. Open field, he's never been about moves, he's a straight line runner, so if he clears the line he will do well.

I would like to continue to rest LF. Have you noticed that the other teams go for his injured ankle? We will need him up and running for Bama.
Posted on 10/16/16 at 7:04 am to Tiger Nation 84
You will absolutely need LF for all of the next games. There is a large drop off in running back talent for LSU if LF and DG are not on the field.
