if the 6 play invincible in the rain offense wasn't so predictable, this is what it could be. Preseason equals no preparation and the opposing defense is playing it more straight up, although one could argue that preparing for the Rams offense only takes an hour to get through the 6 plays that we run.
Give these Rams Gurley a chance with a young offensive line and he will be legendary. Take it to the bank.
but
last year there were photos posted on this board, week after week by one poster that showed how the opposing defense knew the play before the hike and had 8-9 guys on Gurley on the snap. You can run the ball the majority of the time but still have variety in the types of runs and keep the defense a little off. Plus, being able to create space is important.
