Big Cat Country on Bhayshul Tuten
From the article
Through three weeks, Bhayshul Tuten is making a very convincing case that he should be that someone. Tuten carried 28 times for 131 yards through the opening two games, and against a Patriots defense that had not allowed a 100-yard rusher during the first two weeks of the season, he continued to get the work. He finished Sunday with 15 carries for 73 yards and a touchdown, averaging 4.9 yards per carry.
STACKED’s take
Tuten established lead-back role: 28 carries/131 yards through two games, 15 carries/73 yards/TD vs. Patriots.
Tuten has established himself as Jacksonville's lead back through three weeks, carrying 28 times for 131 yards in the opening two games and continuing to receive the workload against New England's defense that had not allowed a 100-yard rusher in the first two weeks. On Sunday, Tuten finished with 15 carries for 73 yards and a touchdown, averaging 4.9 yards per carry. The source emphasizes that Tuten "repeatedly kept the offense ahead of the chains, allowing Coen to stay patient rather than asking Lawrence to win every possession through the air," particularly valuable in the second half when Jacksonville's 15-play, 72-yard drive consumed 8:42 of the third quarter. Tuten added a 1-yard touchdown with 8:02 remaining to push the lead to 35-6. The source characterizes him as a "bellcow, north-south running back" who fits the mold "better than most" and notes that "the Jaguars trusted him to carry the offense when the game demanded physicality."
