Numbers say Todd Gurley missed holes in 2016

[Dxmissile]

He seemed a little weaker as far as breaking tackles.

He was running up guys backsides. If you ever played offense, esp. line, you hate when backs just run right in your back....it's worse if you're a receiver.

Either his vision was terrible, or he just put his head down and didn't care.

I have no worries Gurley will improve & return to 2015 form....if I was a conspiracy theorist, I'd say someone told Gurley to run this way last year and say that middle school offense quote to get guys fired. And I mean coaches.

Hard not to run into their backs when they are getting pushed around. The interior of the offensive line was garbage. That's probably why he started to bounce things out side. When you have more yards after contact in a game then actual rushing yards that's not you missing holes that's no holes being open

I have noticed that too. He looked down right disinterested to me last season. Almost pouty. He seems a lot more focused to me thus far and I hope he stays that way throughout the season. He is being interviewed just like everyone else under this regime and NO ONE is untouchable on this team at this point IMO. McVay is the honey badger of coaches.....and honey badger don't give a crap where you were drafted.

Good point - he's definitely smiling a lot more this offseason

Gurley ....Maybe it was just that software slump....

I hate those damn software slumps!

There's nothing worse than a software slump unless it's maybe a bad voice reader on your phone.

There was definitely something off last year with him . I didn't take much to bring him down towards the end of the year .
Hopefully he's back to normal this year .

I've wondered if the bright lights and time-consuming attn of Hollywood might have hurt his concentration a bit...I'm pretty sure it's a fine line between success and failure..If that had anything at all to do with last year, hopefully that won't happen again...

There were holes ?

I remember at least two.....maybe three.

36.3%. Ouch. At what point do you choose to take a running shot @ the linemen instead of waiting for them to take running shots @ you waiting for a hole that will never come 2 out of 3 plays?
