This is the guy.   I love Adams and have been leading his train.  But Fournette has overtaken in the 1a 1b

its a 

1. Fournette- even if we have to trade a 3rd or at worst the 2nd.

2. Then Adams 

 

 

6'0 240 4.5 and game film shows he runs all that and faster in pads.

Lets get a good look at him.

 

Cons:

Injuries-  he's had a couple of nagging injuries but that doesn't overly worry me.  He played in more games than Gurley and the Same as AP in college due to injuries.  This year was really his biggest year due to injuries.  But reading into it deep during the season it seemed he was being overly cautious which could have caused him to sit more.  People were calling for him to sit out this season before it even started to keep from risking injury.  Some felt he could've been the top RB or atleast in competition with Gurley after his Freshman year.  After last year everyone liked him better than Zeke.  Yes if you rewind the tape people loved Zeke but they drooled over LF.  With all this hype you know damn well he was going to be extra cautious.

 

pass catching- no he's not Cook or Mccaffrey.  He has shown that he Can catch the ball in the few times LSU throws the ball.  Just not near as those other guys.  Here's the thing.         We Don't Throw The Ball To Our RBs.  We are In the bottom if not Last in RBs targeted in the passing game.  We just don't use them like that.  So to knock him for this is dumb.

 

 

 

now to the positive thing.

 

Running, Hammer, Running.

 

Our game 100% revolves around the power run game.  Out of the shotgun, under center doesn't matter.  When Stewart has gone down or nicked up that's when we struggled the most no matter what condition the OL is in.  The crumble of Remmers started in the Super Bowl.  But if you look close enough.  Stewart got hurt and the offense went to poo.  Remmers looked good for a min in that game.  But once that run game went away, those rushers feasted and ate Remmers.  The Giants never had a stud OL and really our interior OLis better. But Brandon Jacobs and Co made it a nightmare.  You can't stop that train a running and it's a bigger nightmare for edge rushers than 2 probowlers out at OT. 

Rivera has spoken as well letting it knows he wants Cam running the ball less keeping less hits off him.  A heavy Dosage of a Stewart/LF combo leaves nightmares to OC's.  Playaction....Playaction.  That's how Prescott has looked so good.  The Fear of having a running game like those Giant squad Gettleman/Rivera/Shula want to Emulate opening up the play action option for Cam (him running then, his cannon arm launching deep)  

 

the fit for Fournette here is better than any play in this draft.  Sportcenter said it best yesterday.   "Teams in the NFL better hope the Panthers don't get Fournette". "Teams will be begging the league for bye weeks after playing the panthers,  after trying to tackle Stewart,Fournette, and Cam all game they will need Monday off min"

      Boy the flyers look good early. Lots of bad plays and slow start by our team. Hope that changes before the score changes.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      I guess I should have stipulated outside the sacred cow.   I complained from year one that Bryce should compete for and win the starting job on his own merit but no he was just handed it. I have been right there with everyone that wants competition.  But I don’t really have a huge problem with it for this season the way it has gone because where are the viable people we don’t have to trade for? I actually am okay with tiny hands Pickett because he is so close to Bryce arm strength wise and to be honest, skill wise. Probably. And it is only a one year deal.  That also takes into account that the QB class is looking stacked next year and if Young fails miserably then we get either a reset or a real competition and there will be more guys that I would like looking at in the FA QB class next year as well.    I sort of accept where we are this year and look at it as another treading water year (at QB). I just want to get to next year with some clarity. More than anything. And they did empty out the room (behind him anyway). Again, who was really there for us?  And I know it would not be a true competition at this point anyway. They are giving him the year, like it or not.    Also I don’t give a poo about winning games IF he sucks and or goes down after sucking because draft position and that stacked QB class.  And I want out from under him So Bad.     So I guess it is several factors that lessen my anxiety over his backup this particular season.    I am not trying to convince anyone, but you asked. That’s how I look at it.
