Seeing as how the opponent is so similar and all...

We couldn't count on Brown last season either. This isn't a new thing. CJ is simply a great fit for this offense and he's durable. Yeah he doesn't catch passes. But that's not what we need right now anyway.I'm starting to wish we had signed CJ and let Brown go to Detroit. I like Brown but we havent been able to count on him this year. Plus hes not a bulldozer like CJ.

We need to establish identity. We need a hammer IMO.
I thought this year would be different for Brown but I guess not. I agree I'd like to have CJ back. We have Todd or Darrell to catch the ball. With CJ we get that TD on the 1 yard line against San Fran.We couldn't count on Brown last season either. This isn't a new thing. CJ is simply a great fit for this offense and he's durable.

If we had the $ I'd say give him a call.CJ is sitting on the couch a free agent.
Thats even worse for him and the Rams.CJ is sitting on the couch a free agent.
I think your right, we need to stop this approach we are using with Todd. I'm sorry but if using him is going to cause him to be finished sooner well to bad. Draft a power back and team him with Hendo. Unfortunately for the Rams, Goff not only needs an elite Oline but also an elite run game to succeed. We need to get back to being one of the best running teams in the NFL, unfortunately I don't see how we can do that with Gurley.I haven’t been able to wrap my brain around our running attack. Most on this forum say we don’t have an Oline to do it, and yet the Bears game seems to suggest otherwise. I say use Gurley or release him. This half Gurley thing is tipping our hand to opposing DC’s. and it’s weird. Can’t establish anything..maybe Sean’s idea is to use h as a run threat, but only give him the rock 8-12 times a game. If so, that train has run its course, the rest of the league knows Todd’s pitch count too...it probably worked against the Bears because Todd ran twice as much against them. Scratching my head.
I think he would use him as such, yes. McVay does go away from the run but often IMO it's because he knows it ain't gonna fly in that game.Will McVay use him though?
Meaning as you suggest, and I agree, like a hammer?

That's the million dollar question.Will McVay use him though?

Gurley is now just a straight line runner. He's not much for cutting these days and he doesn't have the explosion that he once did. He's not the same.
Yep. He can still tear up a defense if he's getting seams that allow him to get rolling. But teams know they gotta slow him in the backfield and can do that because of our line. The consistent run threat is missing.Gurley is now just a straight line runner. He's not much for cutting these days and he doesn't have the explosion that he once did. He's not the same. This team has no true feature back and the OLine is making it worse. No running game = No offense.
This guy might be available
