"By all accounts, the Rams are making slow progress toward getting Gurley going, and Gurley hasn’t made a peep of complaint when it comes to his linemen, but
guard Jamon Brown indicated some frustration Tuesday.
“It’s obviously a tough time, because Todd Gurley is an amazing football player,” Brown said. “But we knew, coming into this year, that a lot of people were going to be ready.
They were going to load the box. They were going to do everything they could to contain him.”
Gurley rushed for 58 yards on 14 carries in Sunday’s loss to Detroit. That’s not great
alm:, but his average of 4.1 yards per carry was his best of the season. Gurley also caught four passes for 39 yards.
Gurley was productive early in the Detroit game, but the Rams went away from him during the second half in part because of the hot hand of quarterback Case Keenum. For the first time this season, Gurley consistently was able to get to the line of scrimmage and find holes, rather than immediately being hit.
“
The biggest thing for us, as offensive linemen,” Brown said, “is to not try to go outside of ourselves, but just to continue to work together and come together to try to open those holes and give him the opportunity he needs. Up to this point, I feel like we’re on the brink of making it happen."
“We’ve just got to keep working. Coach always tells us, those big runs come from the small, 2-yard, 3-yard gains. We’ll get those big gains.”:icare:
