The other team knew the Rams only ran 5-10 plays and there was a book on when each play would be ran based on formation and down and distance.
than Gurley started to have to run with 15 bodies (9 defenders in the box + 6 blockers) trying to occupy the same space he was to try to run through. Henced, battered runningback syndrome where he started to prepare to be tackled instead of trying to read runs.
In the mean time, this produced the 3rd and 8s and the go out and turn around pass patterns was suffocated. Here were the Fisher plays
1) Gurley Off Tackle
2) WR Screen to Austin
3) Jet Sweep to Austin
4) Throw it up for grabs deep
5) WRs go out about 8 yards and turn around
Were there any other plays?
That is why Foles dropped off after the other team had the book on the 5 plays.
