Gurley limping

[AvengerRam]

Or maybe had a few more carries...

...or fewer phantom holding calls on key drives.

But I'm not bitter.

Really I'm #*$&(*$*@!!!!!!!.......not.

I'd say our RB corps is Akers ahead of where is was last year.

Great to see you on here bro! You leave too??

I assume you're referring to ClanRam. I left there a while ago (you know, after I single-handedly destroyed the site, according to some ). I've been on RFU for about 3 years, and thought I'd dabble here as well.

Good to see you (and a few other familiar names)!

We still do have, Gurley under contract. No winners here.

We still have to pay him some, but the salary cap ramifications, if I'm not mistaken, is all this year (capologists, please correct me if this is not the case).

 

[Jacobarch]

I can imagine gurely being super depressed over all of this. I feel for him. He was a different person when he was healthy

 

[rdlkgliders]

Falcons better put him on a pitch count!

Not sure his knee is up to pitches, More of a dive count

I’m pulling for a Gurley but I’d be surprised if he rushed for over 1000 yards in a season again.

I'm curious to see what TG has left in the tank. He still has good power and showed some outside speed. Seems like the quick cutting is not what it was. No reason to hold him back if the Falcons are in the hunt. He is on a one year deal. I'll be keeping track of him.

oh so NOW you defer to the experts

It's a 78 with a pontiac 400 turbo 400 trans. W72. Guy before me did some engine mods but not exactly sure what. This car gets babied.

The other is a 99 T/A non ws6 the hood is aftermarket. It's still an LS1 but its got H/C/I/E upgrades. No forced induction. Just had Ford 9" installed with 4.10 gears (10 bolt took a shit) and the T56 upgraded last year. I didn't do the work though. The guy I bought it from had viking suspension put on it but i don't know exact specs. In the pic it's got corvette wheels and street tires. Have jegs wheels and Mickey Thompson drag radials for racing. I've never ran at the strip.

I had a 84 firebird auto with a carbed 305 it wasn't fast but it looked and sounded good. Also had a 00 ws6 auto full bolt ons also a nice looking car. Got drug by a 2011 5.0 with full bolt ons though lol.

How about your cars? Are they cruisers or hotrods or both?

TheGTO is a drag car. 455 HO, 9 inch, ladder bars. Runs 10.80s on pump gas. Right now building a pump gas 461 with High Ports, big solid roller, 1050 ect. Should make 700+ horsepower on pump gas. 10 flat, high 9s.
The TA is a 43,000 mile car that needs restored, but in decent shape. I am 3rd owner. Lots of potential. Time and money like everything else.

 

[Elmgrovegnome]

Is anyone here surprised?

 

[CGI_Ram]

More speculation...

 

[Zodi]

I hope he has a great season this year, but I just don't see him being an every down back anymore. I think he would be a great 3rd down/goal line back tho.

He's one of my favorite Rams, even with the money situation at the end. The 2017 and 2018 seasons were such a blast for Rams fans after enduring failure after failure for nearly two decades, and Gurley was a huge part of that.

 

[Ramlock]

Eager to see him play...loved the guy and I’m pulling for him!

I love me some GTOs man sounds like a fun car. In my experience cars are always projects they're never complete. Idk how many times I said to myself I'm just going to do X to the car and be done and then X turns into Y lol. It's good to talk to someone who shares the pontiac love. Majority of the cars around my neck of the woods are Camaros, vettes, novas or chevelles. I like those cars too but when that's all you see it gets old. Anyways thanks for sharing about the cars man I hope you get the 79 restored their value has been going up the last few years.... here in Missouri anyway.

I take no pleasure in reading this. He was great for us and would have won a ring if he was healthy in that Super Bowl.

Could've/ Would've

If Carrol Rosenbloom would've never got murdered and John Shaw/ Zeigment was never part of our organization we could've been the Patriots of the 90's/2000's.

I like that one

Gurley was always my boy, but gotta say I'm a bit disappointed by his comments and such after he left. As well as the realization that he was probably kind of a dick behind the scenes.

But you know I still feel for the dude. That injury ended what should have been a Hall of Fame career. Doubt he gets in now, unless they continue to dumb down the entry requirements that is.

And I expected him to have a strong season in 2020 with Atlanta because it's his home town and all. Figured he'd leave whatever he has left on the field then sail into retirement. But if he's already limping... That successful season in front of his home town might not happen.

 

[dang]

let’s see. at 3.2 yds per carry he would need 20 carries a week to break 1000. not sure theres enough tread on those Gurlyear tires.

I sensed a little chip from Gurley against the Rams. Still love what he did for the Rams.
