But the other challenge hasn’t been mentioned in this thread. Goff had to simultaneously deal with a subpar Gurley. One that had regressed from an OPOY terror to one that D’s didn’t respect on play action anymore. This RB deficit occurred while both Hendy and Brown experienced multiple game loss injuries. It was a freaking nightmare Perfect Storm of challenges to this O. Another that I hope to never see again.
Gurley was bad. He couldn't run over anyone, avoid anyone, or run away from anyone. The stiff-arm was his only remaining YAC weapon in traffic and that's effective only in very limited circumstances. His long run was, what, 20 yds? 25 yds?
2019 Gurley couldn't really hurt a defense even when the OL opened a (rare) hole. So defenses ignored him.
In 2020, or whenever they play again, it'll be a different story.
