Perfect Comp for Fournette..


WOW!!

Recommended Posts

I've seen some of you compare Leonard to AP and Bo.. But everytime i watch his videos he reminds me of Stephen Davis more than anybodu else..

 

Same body type and upright running style, same cutting ability and breakaway speed.. I think Fournette looks for more contact than Stephen did thoe..

We'll see if he's better than Davis or not. Davis was good because he had a knack for following blockers, finding the hole and the end zone. He was powerful but don't think that was his defining attribute.

Fornette is much more talented than Davis.  Adrian Peterson is more like it even if AD is shifter and Fornette is bigger more powerful.    Now, just wondering if Fornette will be hurt like AD has been much of the time.

He's a RB. It's not a question of "will he get hurt?" 

It's a question of when. Those will be good days, when fans start calling him injury prone.

Peterson was remarkably durable prior to tearing his ACL in 2014. Prior to that he'd only missed 9 games in his entire career.

because were fans and its a projection and its fun to see who reminds us of who and its the offseason and there's little else to do as diehard fans and some like metorphors and parallelism and some don't care about the first responder who says something in contrast just to get pie.

Fournette is a freight train looking to punish anyone in his way, but he also doesn't get caught from behind in the open field much.  He is a perfect fit for the clock grinding power ball we want to play.  He keeps our offense on the field and our defense off the field.  That makes both better.  He is going to be a star.

    • By all indications, the surgery was "minor." I know with all surgeries and especially back surgery there can be complications, but I think the whole time Tremble did this with the expectation he would be able to be back for Week 1 It sounds like he will be ready to start back in team drills next week. He's a veteran who knows the system so I'm sure that helps. I still can't imagine he will play a normal workload early on though 
    • Maybe. He was pretty good in college before a bad injury. He had a good preseason last year as a UDFA in Washington and was on their practice squad all year so they obviously saw something worth developing. He signed a futures deal with the Panthers earlier this year, and everything about him has been increasingly positive. Tremayne has gotten a decent amount of time with the ones, and a lot with the twos for someone that doesn't have a chance. He's the only other 6'4" plus WR on the team, plays ST, and is a more natural backup to the X receiver position than David Moore. That was my thinking behind it. But he may well end up as one of the last roster cuts. If so, I do hope they can bring him back to the PS. But I personally think there's a good chance he could be claimed given his ST ability and what hes shown at WR.
    • That was my thought originally, but so many of the beat writers have mentioned keeping 7 WRs in conversations that I went with that, at least for the purposes of this projection. But you're right that historically defensive guys who were standouts at ST have tradionally gotten those last spots
