Quite the buzz around this guy eh? Gurley, and pretty much the Rams in general, have been the source of many question marks so far in 2015. Benny Cunningham had a fun PPR game in Week 1 against the Seahawks, but in general the Rams have struggled mightily in the run game.
Tre Mason hadn't done anything spectacular, and the offensive line was clearly having some real trouble learning the outside zone blocking scheme that was implemented this year. Through the first half of their Week 4 matchup it looked like more of the same.
Then the second half came, more specifically the fourth quarter. Todd Gurley exploded for 106 yards in just 15 minutes of game action, with multiple runs going for more than ten yards. Gurley also showed great awareness when he went down in the open field to keep the clock moving late in the game. Gurley was finally activated by the Rams after completing his rehabilitation process from a torn ACL he suffered last year at the University of Georgia.
If he had any rust, it was shaken off after thirty minutes of play. The Cardinals came into the game as one of the top rush defenses, and Gurley walked out of Arizona with 19 carries and 146 yards, adding in two catches for 15 yards. Context was necessary to understand the hype, but it appears to be very justified.
