I'll say this ...the finding & signing of CJ is what the doctor ordered for the Rams offensive ills since Brown was injured.
Rams were trending downward after the WR Cooper Kupp injury & Josh Reynolds did come on to take away some of the weaknesses caused by Kupp loss but when RB Malcolm Brown went down to injury things went south fast for this offense. Then things got really bad our franchise RB knee blew up, Gurley is showing the wear & tear of 4 seasons of HEAVY DUTY NFL utilization 1,054 touches with the ball in his hands for 4,547 yds & 187 touches through the air for nearly 1,900 yds. In college, Gurley amazed 4,332 yds...that's a ton of hits on his body & that knee.
Our OC Kromer has an OL that was made to block for the type of Runner CJ is. Its a match made in heaven. CJ knows this too. This aging well seasoned OL has two very old LT/OC returning next season to start for him. I am sure Kromer knows both of them have very little tread remaining but they can still be effective & make 1 more try in 2019 if they this team mandates more run blocking & less pass blocking.
CJ was the most productive RB last night IMO. I also believe he has carried this team on his back since he flew in here off the streets. Three back to back over 100 yds big games & scoring 4 TD's is something that Brown would never have done. Both Brown & CJ our about the same age & both will enter free agency here in less than 2 months. CJ may have saved this 2018 season for this Organization. How would you reward a player who did this?
