First of all, players should never be trusted with whether or not they are "good to go". These guys are modern day gladiators that will play with concussions if left unchecked. I mean, just yesterday the refs had to almost forcibly remove Fitzmagic from the game after he got blasted in the head. SWo, no I'm not listening to anything Gurley says as the final word. I'd listen as part of my fact gathering, but he would never have the last word. Unless he says he was too injured to play, then he's out.
Secondly, so you run him 25 times this week, get a win, run him 27 times against Baltimore and win. Then all the additional stress on his knee that the doctors warned the coaching staff and Gurley about flairs up and he needs to be shut down for 3 weeks. Rams lose 2 out of those 3 and are out of the playoffs. Tell me exactly what did that accomplish. The idea behind using a relatively high draft pick (at least as far as the Rams are concerned) on Henderson, was to spell Gurley. If Henderson had last years OL in front of him, it would be one highlight after the next. But the condition of the OL being what it is, you really just need a hammer, because HRs aren't coming.
