Gurley Vs Mason

[SuperMan28]

Mason is a solid RB and Gurley made him look obsolete. Gurley shines bright today.

Where the heck did Mason go? I saw him once and then nothing. No offense to Benny but Mason is much better as a RB(though Benny did have a nice pass-block late)

Gurley was breaking through arm tackles with relatively no issue. He's such a force coming through those running lanes.

 

[Mister Sin]

Gurley is absolutely going to be great for us

Benny blocks and gurley breaks big runs. Mason has done neither this season. I think he'll get some change of pace carries eventually

It seems as if Gurley will be the bell cow with Benny as the 3rd down back. Benny is also a better blocker than Mason, which doesn't help Mason's case for getting on the field. Mason will still get some snaps, of course, but his playing time is in for a steep decline.

He does provide invaluable depth at the RB position for when injuries inevitably strike.

Ultimately, I don't expect Mason to be here long term. He probably leaves at the first chance. Understandably so. I think he could start somewhere else.

I am a huge Gurley fan....but also a big fan of Mason.....I think as our running game gets going more consistently throughout the year...both men will be huge for us....as will Cunningham. .... knock on wood but I feel very comfortable about the direction our offense is....and our very strong stable of backs.....

Go Rams.........

I don't think that Mason is 100%. The hammy I bet is bothering him.

 

[OC--LeftCoast]

There is no Gurley vs Mason, at least on the depth chart.

 

[TheBunk]

I rather Mason be instead of Benny. Way too many mental errors on his part. The sooner his role gets reduced, the better.

 

[HE WITH HORNS]

Gurley and Mason are very similar backs. Except Gurley is bigger, faster, and stronger.

 

[Tron]

Gurley is life, Gurley is my Bae. Gurley is pure amazement!!!

 

[bubbaramfan]

Benny Cunningham is better than mason at this point. Better blocker and makes yards on his own. On the TD to Austin, He picked up a delayed blitz that allowed foles to double pump and make the throw. Benny has flat out earned the right to play along side Gurley.

Mason is solid, Gurley is just on a different level, a complete physical freak.

 

[Robocop]

idk why we gotta compare the two so much. Mason's still speeder than Gurley but Gurley has the power. it's an awesome 1-2 punch if the line can run block consistently. and they'll both be under contract for a while so enjoy it while it lasts. and don't forget about Benny being the glue that's held it together.

I also don't think that Mason is 100%.

Benny is the 3rd down back.

If we play, like we want to, like the 2nd half, there will be enough carries for everyone, but Gurley will get the lion's share. As he should, he's special. I don't think he was down in the 1st half, and that would have been a score. On a couple runs, he looked so smooth out there.

He's so fluid, and he still a little rusty. Guys, he has great hands too, just wait til we unleash him down the field.

 

[Big Willie]

I will be curious as to how the offensive lineman grade out as I believe an exceptional RB can make even a pedestrian OL look good. And, Gurley looks that part as an exceptional RB so far. He showed better vision on his run reads this game than he did last week. I just hope he keeps getting better.

 

[Rabid Ram]

GURLY got his confidence going and it's only gonna get better from here

 

[PowayRamFan]

Gurley is the full package, you can already see that he can block , catch and run. Smart, too.
