Fournette visiting Pats

[borg]

Could be setting up a Harris trade.

Give me two premium 3 down backs (Rham + Fournette) any day.

Interesting take Cousin.
This years Draft Class at RB kind of rots. Harris could be in demand for RB needy Team.
The Bucs come to mind. Perhaps the Texans.

Fournette reminds me of a better version of Brandon Jacobs...you just don't want to tackle him if you are a defender.

Fournette probably wants to go back to TB. He is just using NE for leverage. As soon as Brady finds out, he'll panic and force Licht to give him the deal he wants. Really smart on the part of Lenny .

Exactly, he did pretty well in Tampa to go from that situation to split snaps in a RBBC system

• bleeding OL
• visiting with RB

Aha!!!! We're going to run a base with a 10 back set this year! OK, Harbaugh, who's eligible THIS time? Mwuahahahah!

With Fournette and Stevenson we would-be impossible to stop in short yardage situations. Stevenson have some upside and Fournette is a dual threat Mac would have play action at his disposal.

Jakob Johnson Says Patriots Won't Be Utilizing Traditional Fullback Anymore

Jakob Johnson helped clarify why he's leaving the Patriots in an interview in his native Germany, saying that the Patriots won't be utilizing a traditional fullback in their offense anymore.

Fournette knows the offense from Brady, can fill in for either for Harris or White. Plus he is still an elite talent. I think he would be an excellent depth signing.

Lenny won't be happy buried in the depth chart. Bill won't promise him a RB#1 role. I don't see it happening. Maybe Bill is just trying to drive up his cost to get back at Licht for the Mason fleecing.

I'd be curious to see it happen. He's asking for 12 million apparently so unlikely since Kraft or BB are being Mr. Krabs

So Bill suddenly decides a week after he trades Mason away to Tampa that he got fleeced? LMAO

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

Hed be great insurance at all rb spots but that sounds like expensive insurance on a team with multiple more pressing needs

 

[Drunken Cicerone]

I’d be happy with a Fournette/Stevenson dual RB threat.

But I would have been fine with a Harris/Stevenson threat too…

Doesn’t feel like a glaring need

Agree. Harris/Stevenson were graded in the top 10. Lenny was at #21. RB doesn't seem to be a position of need especially with White coming back.

As good as he is in the passing game, you don't want white getting a lot of carries, especially after his injury. Gonna split carries between at least 2 backs. Bolden's gone.

If we can rely on Harris and Stevenson to be completely healthy throughout every game this season, then we don't need another rb. I don't think that will be the case.

I don't think you can count on White coming back and being what he was.

 

[PowerRunRevival]

I think Fournette is really good. I don't see the fit here unless there is an injury or Harris is dealt. If the Pats are dealing Harris they better be getting a good return. I don't think bringing in Fournette to replace Harris is a good idea unless the return for Harris is substantial.

 

[PatsFan2]

I don't think you can count on White coming back and being what he was.

Have to think if James White is even back to half of what he was: we have a good third down RB his numbers with Brady are ridiculously good. C'mon Mac tap into the well there's water still there.

I don't think the returns for Harris would be more than a Third back.

Then if it were up to me the Pats would pass on Fournette.

Love Sweet Feet but 30yo RB coming off a major injury is significant. If he can give them 200-300 snaps and 40 catches and pick up some key 3rd downs i'll be happy.

 

[crawhammer]

He's got bricks for hands but overall he's a solid RB. I don't think the Patriots need him. RB is really the one spot where they're all set. I'll be surprised if Fournette doesn't end up resigning with Tampa Bay where he's been a great fit.
