Big Cat Country Q&A: Should the Jacksonville Jaguars bench Leonard Fournette?

Let’s answer some questions ahead of the Jacksonville Jaguars’ matchup against the New England Patriots!

Nick from Jacksonville, FL

Q: Should we bench Leonard Fournette for a couple of weeks so he doesn’t have a nagging hamstring all year?

A: No. No, no, no, no, and no. Any game where Leonard Fournette is not playing will be one where the offense will be absolutely ineffective. This team runs (no pun intended) through Fournette. Everything and everyone else literally depends on him — T.J. Yeldon and Corey Grant are not at their best without him, Blake Bortles will see more defenders in coverage, the receivers will see less separation.
