PromoTheRobot Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 There are no gimme games but this week and next are probably the best ones to see what Fournette still has in the tank.

VaMilBill Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 I could be wrong. But isn’t Leonard Fournette pretty slow. Does he really provide much of an advantage over latavius? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allen2D̶i̶g̶g̶s̶TBD Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 This late in the year, I think the Bills will rotate which depth rb is inactive in order to keep the rotation fresh. Murray, Johnson, and Fournette will be crucial pieces if we continue to run the football 40+ times per game. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWei44 Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 Think it's a good move even to just get a sense of what he could add down the road//give him some live game reps. Whether we'll be in the luxurious position to play him in garbage time remains to be seen but that would of course be the ideal scenario. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dillenger4 Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 Playoff Lenny ain't slow. He's a power runner, always has been. With Cook, Ty and now Lenny, we have a serious backfield. Add in Murray for passes/screens and look out. This Bills team is viscious! Like modder fookin Terrorists baby!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brianmoorman4jesus Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 I’d rather keep Johnson in and take Murray out. Go let Murray sit out a few weeks because to me…he’s the 4th best guy of the group. I have been very impressed with Johnson and to me the other guys are clearly steps better than Murray. Let the old guy have some rest for those legs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOUSE Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 I know this RB well, 2nd best on the team. Buffalo is incredibly lucky to have this kind of depth. He is easily a 1000 RB if he was the featured back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he shows out there’s a chance he could a regular roster spot Possible. I think Johnson's shoulder has a major influence in Fournette being active, though. Even if Lenny plays well I don't see the need for him to be on the roster if Cook, Murray and Johnson are healthy. Those 3 have all earned their play time IMO.

Does he really provide much of an advantage over latavius? No, he's not slow. He may have lost a step from College, but Cook ran a 4.42 pre-Draft and Fournette ran a 4.51. For a RB of his size, that's actually fast. Edited December 23, 2023 by BillsFanForever19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
