Why does Fournette go down so easily?

If he doesn’t have a full head of steam he gets stopped in his tracks pretty easily.

Is it a balance issue?

On the other hand take a guy like Kamara who seems very hard to bring down at times, working his way through people.

So just like every running back?

You're obviously very unbiased.

It's a center of gravity issue. Kamara is smaller and runs low.

He runs tall - reminds me a little bit of how McFadden looked in the pros.

Remember the AU game a few years ago...

Look I get It you HATE the guy, But let it go............

He is A typical NFL RB.. maybe one or two runs a game over 15 yards.. The rest is just 3-4....

I expect him to improve, but what I’m saying isn’t false as of now.

Because no one respects bortles and linebackers shoot run gaps all game. He's often hit behind the LOS

I'm not sure what games y'all are watching but every NFL team knows that Jacksonville does not want to allow Blake Bortles throw the ball, so every defense has 7-9 guys within 5 yards of the line of scrimmage for most of the game. Fournette still rushed for 1000 yards and hasn't lost a fumble all season long.

I’m not talking about his production. I’m talking about the fact that he goes down easily when one on one if he doesn’t have a full head of steam

Don’t hate him at all, just think it’s hilarious that Lsu fans treat him like he’s Walter Payton when he never did anything in a big moment. He’s over rated and had one of the biggest let down careers if anyone I can remember.

I don’t agree with this. His sophomore season was an all-time great season
