Simply put, Gurley was no longer explosive.
Watch him in 2017, he is no longer that guy.
BUT he was still fierce in the redzone.
Which I'm sure you agree with.
Even without the same explosion or dynamic big play burst, he never did fall off in the redzone.
Another thing that fell off a bit in 2019 was his hands. He wasn't the same as a receiver either. As you no doubt know. But I don't think that had to do with straight-up ability, like his lack of burst as a runner--I think that was something else. Maybe not practicing meant he got rusty in the receiving game? He went from being a 70+ percentage catcher to a 60-something percentage catcher,
