Sean McVay confident Todd Gurley will be 'focal point' of Rams offenseRich Eisen Show@RichEisenShow
Sean McVay--
"(Todd Gurley) was obviously banged up at the end of the year... The New Orleans game was just how the game played out... In the Super Bowl, he made a couple big time runs... Our offense didn't produce. That's where I have to do a better job." -@RamsNFL HC Sean McVay
"You can expect Todd to be a focal point of our offense going forward... He's in a good place, he's feeling good and will continue to be a central piece of our offense and I don't see that changing."

Still, managing his workload more delicately in 2019 seems like a prudent move. Through his first four seasons, Gurley has handled 1,042 carries in the regular season alone. Compare that to two other prominent running backs from his draft class: Melvin Gordon (897) and David Johnson (687). Gurley’s 1,229 touches over 58 career regular-season games give him an average of 21.2 touches per tilt.
McVay wouldn’t have to relegate Gurley to a complementary weapon in the offense to monitor his workload. Given the knee issue appears like it’s one that could pop up at any moment, shaving a few reps and allowing the running back a few more respites each game could work just as well.

The biggest question is how Gurley’s leg will hold up over the course of 16 games. It’s one we might not have a hard answer to until January.
