My impression of Gurley as a rookie was he hit the LOS
hard and once past it he had great vision and ability to change direction. That was largely lost last year because, well, there were no holes. Then I think he started freelancing out of desperation and made things worse. Probably developed a defeatist attitude.
This year his vision
behind the LOS,
before he hits the hole, has been impressive. Like on the 36-yard run around the left side Sunday. He's more patient, trusts his OL, the scheme and himself much more.
He's on pace for 2,048 yards from scrimmage. He'd join Dickerson (3 times), Faulk (3) and Jackson (1) as the only Rams RBs to do that. I hope he gets it. He's an excellent receiver.
