Leonard Fournette: We’re not focused on the past

g_ByDbKaIu9v
The Jaguars had a major setback in 2018 due partially to poor quarterback play, but with Nick Foles on the team now, Jacksonville seems primed to return to the top of the AFC.

Anyone who has used a computer or other electronic device for any period of time is familiar with rebooting it as a step toward correcting a problem.

Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette said he is taking a similar approach to moving past a disappointing 2018 season. Fournette played eight games and averaged 3.3 yards per carry as the Jaguars went from division champs to a 5-11 record.

Fournette wasn’t the only player who fell short of expectations last year and said on Friday that “everybody kind of hit the restart button” this offseason.

“It’s a new everything, clean start for a lot of us guys,” Fournette said, via WJXT. “We’re not focused on the past, the past is the past. Couple things I did this offseason, I admitted to, yeah I was wrong, but we moved on we in a good place right now.”

Offensive coordinator John DeFilippo said this week that Fournette has to be a “big part” of the team’s offensive attack this season, so anything that creates a clean break from last season will be a welcome development in Jacksonville.
