Armani Watts Jersey ,040 yards and nine touchdowns as a rookie. He also
had 36 receptions for 302 yards and a score.”I couldn’t do it myself,” Fournette said Thursday, three days before Jacksonville (10-6) hosts Buffalo (9-7) in an AFC wild-card game. ”I can’t block
11 guys on my own. That’s the O-line and wide receivers, too. They played a big
part of contributing to me getting 1,000 yards.”The former LSU star rewarded his linemen with some wrist bling. Left tackle Cam Robinson, left guard Patrick Omameh, center Brandon Linder, right guard A.J.
Cann and right tackle Jermey Parnell will get their watches Friday. Backups
Tyler Shatley and Josh Wells, both of whom started four games because of
injuries, also will get Rolexes.”Just show them the dedication for all the hard work they put in to help me to get me where I’m at and all for this team,” Fournette said. ”Their hard work
doesn’t go unnoticed.”Fournette said he picked the watches out himself and had each lineman’s number and initials engraved on the back.”They got me my 1,000 yards,” he said. ”That’s what I need.”Fournette finished eighth in the NFL and fifth in the AFC in rushing despite missing three games. He averaged 3.9 yards a carry against the most eight- and
nine-man boxes in the NFL. His average was buoyed by touchdown runs of 90 and 75
yards in consecutive games.Fournette missed one game in October because of a sprained right ankle, another in November because he violated an undisclosed team rule during the bye
week and sat out a third time last month because of a bruised right quadriceps
muscle.He has a combined 117 yards rushing the last two games, averaging 3.2 yards a carry.”I think it’s tough,” coach Doug Marrone said. ”When you’re out for a bit, whether you’re injured or not, especially early in your
career Youth
Kalen Ballage Jersey , to be able to come back, you don’t come back and
start where you left off. … For him, he comes back and starts getting in a
groove and you go.”Fournette hopes to get back on track against the Bills, who rank 29th in the league against the run. Buffalo gives up 124.6 yards rushing a game. In the past
five weeks, the Bills have allowed nearly 150 yards a game on the ground.Fournette stopped short of committing to buying expensive watches every year.”We’ll see how it goes,” he said, laughing.—Mark Reynolds may have sent his manager toward a sleepless night.How is Dave Martinez supposed to rest when he’s got to figure out whether Reynolds’ career night earned him another start Sunday?”Well, I mean I’m going to sleep just fine. That’s his problem,” Reynolds joked afterward. ”I’ll be ready to go either way.”Reynolds homered twice and drove in a career-high 10 runs, Max Scherzer won for the first time since June 5, and the Washington Nationals beat the Miami
Marlins 18-4 on Saturday night.Martinez said he’ll have to think about where to put the right-handed hitting Reynolds when the Marlins start a right-hander on Sunday. Martinez has other
options at first base, including left-handed hitters Matt Adams and Daniel
Murphy.Washington has won three straight and scored a combined 35 runs since calling a players-only meeting on Wednesday after falling under .500 for the first time
since May 2.Reynolds (5 for 5) tied his career high for hits and equaled the Nationals’ RBI record.Reynolds hit a two-run homer in the second inning into the same visitors’ bullpen where his walk-off homer landed on Friday. He followed that up with an
RBI double in the second, a two-run single in the fifth, a three-run homer in
the sixth, and a two-run single in the seventh.”Yeah, that’s like a good two weeks,” Reynolds said. ”These things don’t happen often.”Signed as minor league free agent in April, Reynolds is 12 for 23 with four home runs since June 29.”I’ve seen him like this Youth
Durham Smythe Jersey ,” Martinez said. ”When he gets hot like this he can
stay hot for a while, so we’ll have to figure something out, see if we can get
him in tomorrow.”Washington, which has won 14 straight against Miami, broke it open by batting around the order and scoring a season-best seven runs in the fifth inning.”We haven’t had any success with them in a while now,” Marlins manager Don Mattingly said. ”They’re a good lineup up and down, but we’ve pitched better
than this.”Scherzer (11-5), who was 0-4 in his previous five starts, pitched seven innings, allowing four runs on four hits – three of which were home runs. The
Nationals had been shut out in three of Scherzer’s previous five starts.Miami starter Wei-Yin Chen (2-6) lasted 4 1/3 innings, allowing seven runs on seven hits.Bryce Harper had three hits and an intentional walk.Starlin Castro and J.T. Realmuto hit the first back-to-back home runs of the season for the Marlins in the fourth inning. Yadiel Rivera hit his first homer
of the season in the seventh.STREAK SNAPPEDThe Marlins were 9-0 this season in games in which Realmuto homered before Saturday night.TRAINER’S ROOMMarlins: OF Brian Anderson was out of the lineup for the first time this season. After playing in Miami’s first 90 games, Mattingly said it was time for
a breather. … Mattingly said OF Lewis Brinson (right hip) is still sore and
”doing a little treatment, and that’s all.”Nationals: Martinez said RHP Stephen Strasburg (shoulder inflammation) is scheduled to go on a rehab assignment Tuesday with the goal of throwing 50-60
pitches. … OF Victor Robles (hyperextended left elbow) and RHP Koda Glover
(right shoulder tendinitis) both played in a Gulf Coast League game Friday.
Martinez said Glover is ”progressing well” but that he wouldn’t be pitching in
back-to-back games. … C Matt Wieters (left hamstring strain) went 1 for 4 in a
rehab start with Double-A Harrisburg and is expected to play again on Sunday
before being re-evaluated.UP NEXTMarlins: Rookie RHP Trevor Richards (2-5, 5.26 ERA) makes his first start against the Nationals in the series finale.Nationals: RHP Tanner Roark (3-10, 4.60 ERA) is looking for his first win since June 6. Roark is 5-8 with a 3.99 ERA in 22 games against the
