Leonard Fournette: I’m up to speed, waiting for my opportunity with Bills

[Woodman]

The Bills fired offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey a few weeks ago and Ty Johnson has seen more playing time behind James Cook and Latavius Murray in the two games since Joe Brady became the interim coordinator. Fournette said that he thinks he’s helping the team with his practice work, which helps as he’s otherwise “just trying to make the best of” not being in the lineup despite feeling good to go.

“I’m comfortable, up to speed (https://buffalonews.com/sports/professional/nfl/bills/leonard-fournettes-patiently-waiting-for-his-number-to-be-called-by-bills/article_cbf2f50c-92e9-11ee-8391-37a322c685ca.html),” Fournette said, via Jay Skurski of the Buffalo News. “I’m ready, man. Just waiting on my opportunity. Of course, my first time really being in this position, so you know, I have my days. I think it’s humbling me, testing me, my faith and everything, but I’m getting better.”

I could be wrong but with the way Johnson is playing I Think it may take an injury for Fournette to see the field.

You’re not wrong at all

Agreed. I really like what we've seen from Ty Johnson and he plays STs. I don't see Fournette bringing any improvement to the RB3 position, but at least we have some depth heading into the final stretch.

Also he could take Murrys place, gonna come down to special teams, Fournette is the total package, very good out of the back field, I wonder
if it comes down to pass blocking? Y'all gonna laugh at me but this week's game I'd sit Cook and play Fournette,b
Cook will have a hard time against KCs defense.

Sorry, Lenny, but he McDermott Way involves making new players sit on the bench (or at home) for at least a few months before you get any playing time. Allowing a Super Bowl champion RB with a knack for coming up big in huge games to play after only having signed three weeks ago is way too risky.

[Mr. Pink]

I'm calling it now...

Fournette will never play a down as a Buffalo Bill.

I Hope he plays… Chiefs don’t like tackling Fournette much…
