Once we get a new OC in-house, we may have a better idea of which direction the offense is going.

Leonard is most effective in a gap-power blocking scheme.

Added bonus - Dougie Marrone was Fournette's coach in Jacksonville.

I know this is unlikely cause of the money he’s making they want him on the field every waking moment but I think he is more dangerous not as the every down back.

I've screamed this for years. Payton has tried to use Kamara like the Rams used Faulk, didn't work, never was going to work, he's nowhere near Faulk. Your correct with the bell cow. There's a few ways to go (1) a Derrick Henry type with a good backup to spell out (2) A thunder and lightning (Muncie and Galbreath) (3) A 3 headed monster that won us a SB. Kamara is good at what he is, more of a specialty back. I personally would look to trade him and revamp the backfield.

I guess you could look at it with the belichick motto. Best to get rid of them two years too early than two years too late. But I think they’ll ride him til the wheels fall off

I’ll keep looking at Lindsay and/or Fournette as free agent RBs to look at. Having them with Winston and Thomas would be a good start.

Fournette, Ingram and Kamara....

Only need someone to hand off.

Great news for his new team

Fournette and Doug Marrone had bad blood in Jacksonville. Remember how Fournette’s time ended there? I don’t see him being an option.

Well that depends on what was the cause. Two persons in new surroundings might yeild different results.
