You think the Rams are the only team that sees 8, 9 in the box?

Heck Steven Jackson ran against 8,9 in the box his entire career.

I've said this before and I'm saying it again...Todd Gurley ain't all that!

He's a college rb who looks real good running through BIG holes but on 60% of his carries he gets less than 3ypc.

Overrated!!!

He'll learn to find holes in those situations. Give him at least a little time . That said, I didn't really see many holes, period, in that game. There weren't places for truly great backs to "get small" and scamper through. And, speaking of Jackson, whom I always liked a ton: He didn't bowl over many defenders at the line of scrimmage. He did his damage once he broke free of that -- going through a hole first. Once he got up a head of steam, he could run over guys with ease -- though he had a problem with getting tripped up from behind. But he needed to get clear of the initial charge. Gurley didn't get that chance very often.
