+1. Then add to that the constant attrition from injury that kept them either "nicked up" or shuffled as a group. Then add to that the fact that we have definite top shelf talent at 2 RBs, slot receiver, and QB, and the staff made the easy transition to that team being run-focused.

I believe our WR talent is good and if we can stay healthy generally this season will bear that out.

Well put, I am starting to fear that Azzanni's coaching (not recruiting) ability can be added to the list of passing game downfalls, as well. I used to think that Butch takes such a large role in the passing game because of his experience as a player and former position coach, but maybe he does it because he doesn't trust the abilities of Azzanni as a WR coach. Is there a story behind Azzanni being the "Passing Game Coordinator," instead of just the usual title of WR Coach, or is that just another Butchism?

I think I would trade Azzani for cash and a player to be named later.

Kamara wouldn't even be at Tennessee if he didn't get kicked off at bama. i mean im glade we have him but to say you wouldn't want the best player in collage football on your team makes me question your fandom. with your logic you're saying you would rather Jayson Sparks then fournette.

Yup. I love Kamara, he is the one of the most electric players makers we've had since CP but LF is literally the only RB in the country that any team would trade what they have in the backfield for. Fournette might be faster than Kamara, so I cant agree with the agree with the Thunder and Thunder argument either. A Hurd/Fournette backfield would be about as close to an unstoppable rushing attack as you could get.

He has scored some big recruiting wins and will prob be the main reason we hopefully get Higgins, but you start to wonder what good all this talent is if it is being wasted. And recruits will start to wonder that as well.

The argument isn't Kamara is faster so he is better, I was just stating that Kamara is a completely different type of running back than Fournette. You can do more with him. So you lose that versatility if you trade LF for AK.

How often do you see LSU running LF out in the slot? Or even using him in the wildcat? Both things we did frequently with AK. He is a lot closer to a Le'Veon Bell style running back with the way he can catch passes in the open field as opposed to just using down-hill running and over powering your opponents, both things that Hurd and LF excel at.

In no way do I think AK is better, my only point is he is a completely different type of back and trading him for LF loses you some of that versatility.

Le'Veon Bell is a big power back. He might have some nifty moves but he's closer to Fournette than Kamara. Also, most of these guys can catch passes if given the opportunity. Adrian Peterson caught over 70 one year.

That being said I love AK and I would want him on my team. Fournette is a generational player, though. He's bigger, stronger, and possibly faster than Gurley. If Fournette and Derrick Henry switch places then Fournette runs for about 2200 yards last year.

I'm a Steelers fan, and I watch Bell weekly whenever he isn't out with a turn ACL :mega_shok:

But, I just compare the two because Bell is an extremely quick back and very agile much like AK. Bell has a little more weight and strength to him, but I just see him being utilized in a much more versatile way than Fournette is.

I went to the ND/LSU bowl game in Music City just for fun and most of what I saw LF do was line up behind center in the I-Formation and just run people over. It was quite impressive. I did not see much of LF being used in the slot, which I have seen AK and Bell do many times.

But honestly this convo is kind of moot. They are all very quick backs and like you said most RB's these days have at least some form of passing catching capabilities. :)

I wouldn't trade any of our players. I like the group we have. And, goodness knows we spent enough years in the wilderness getting back to this point.
