Todd Gurley, Jared Goff should benefit from Rams' moves

LOS ANGELES -- Jared Goff is spending his offseason training with Tom House, the renowned quarterback guru who has also worked with the likes of Drew Brees, Tom Brady, Carson Palmer and Matt Ryan.

Soon, though, Goff will rejoin the Los Angeles Rams and begin to acclimate himself with another arrangement of newness.

He'll have a new head coach, former Redskins offensive coordinator Sean McVay, who has assembled a new offensive staff that features an offensive coordinator (Matt LaFleur) and a quarterbacks coach (Greg Olson) with extensive experience grooming NFL players at Goff's position. He'll have a new left tackle, Andrew Whitworth, who remains one of the game's premier pass-blockers at age 35. He'll have a new primary receiver, Robert Woods, hailed mostly for his precision as a route runner and physicality as a blocker. And he'll have a new weapon, Lance Dunbar, a backup running back who can also be a threat in the passing game.

Those moves -- not to mention the natural growth expected for a second-year quarterback -- should lead to vast improvement from Goff, the former No. 1 overall pick who struggled mightily as a rookie.

Really, though, the biggest beneficiary might be Todd Gurley.
