an excellent post,
and made me think back through it all again, too

Taking what he could, transitioned to not taking what was there; missing on running to daylight was particularly alarming, and when Malcom Brown had a chance to demonstrate for me that is one of his brighter assets? my distress about the situation grew.

no doubt. getting mugged in the backfield was near ritual. however, there were times that Todd simply didn't move like an NFL RB.

Well, I too, am left no further along the road to understanding in what we have in Todd Gurley than before.

Most of all, the Rams season may well hinge as much on moving the ball on the ground and making defenses respect that aspect of the game, as getting Jared Goff and the passing game on track.

Another poor year for Todd would dismantle a lot of what Sean and company are trying to achieve. Teeing off on the QB is too easy when your 1st and 2nd downs lead directly to down and distance situations on 3rd downs.
