You'd love that, I'm sure.

I don't recall seeing much in the way of "draft Fournette" threads. A lot of us said we wish we could have him. He's not even eligible till next year. No one actually thought it was a going to happen. If anyone did, they were not being very realistic.

There's nothing wrong with Fournette. His line has bombed. Only Les Miles would try to run it straight up the gut on a team that, everyone knew coming in, you had to get wide on them. But FAR worse than that, is only Les Miles would CONTINUE to do it, and make zero adjustments. No screens, no formation changes. Just telegraphed everything. Fournette, as good as he is, is no different than any other human being on this earth in that he needs to at least have SOME kind of chance to get moving before he's got a bunch of guys on his back.

Alabama didn't look so great stopping Hurd, from Tennessee, just two weeks prior. I'm guessing he didn't have 8-9 man fronts coming after him. Everyone knows that the other teams are game planning against Fournette... Except Miles, apparently.

And only scoring 14 points against Arkansas? The team is just throwing in the towel. I don't hold that against Leonard.

And as far as the underachieving defense goes... I don't know a single Tiger fan who was excited about Kevin Steele. That was a mind-blowing hire. This is why people like me have been calling for Miles' job for years, while others just think it's great to turn top 5 talent into 10-2, 9-3, 8-4.

If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.
