Over the past few weeks, it’s clear that the Bucs are moving toward Leonard Fournette as the team’s featured running back. Fournette has out-snapped Ronald Jones 163-to-57 through four games. The former top five pick also has a significant edge in touches, with 44 carries to Jones’ 21, and 15 catches to one.

Still, head coach Bruce Arians is not ready to concede a full-time starter. Despite Jones’ multitude of miscues, the Bucs remain committed to both backs.

“He was in this game,” Arians said when asked if Fournette was now the team’s feature back. “We’ll see. It could flip in a heartbeat. ‘Ro’ (Ronald Jones II) was running really, really well. We put both of them out there in different situations. I’ve got all the trust in the world in both of them.”

Jones hasn’t made any back-breaking mistakes since a comedy of errors against Atlanta. He had an excellent 8-yard scoring run against New England, the Bucs lone touchdown of the game. But Jones’ limitations as a receiver and pass protector make it tough to play him in all situations. The fourth-year back wasn’t exactly helpful in trying to help Alex Cappa stave off a Matt Judon rush that ended in a sack on Sunday.

Jones and Fournette are both in a contract year, but the former is coming off his best game of the season. Fournette carried the ball 20 times for 91 yards against New England, both season-highs. He also caught three passes for 47 yards and drew a pivotal defensive pass interference call on the Bucs’ game-winning field goal drive. Pro Football Focus charged Fournette with two drops as well, a problem that plagued the back all last season. Arians isn’t worried however.

“No, Lenny’s got great hands,” Arians said. “His drops are usually lack of concentration, because he’s got as good of hands as anybody on the team. We’ll just continue to throw it to him. And he’ll get a better understanding in the passing game of where he needs to be as a running back pass-catcher. But, yeah, we trust his hands.”
