That just gives him more time to build up steam, making it easier for him to break tackles against smaller guys in the secondary...if anything, he should have MORE broken tackles. It's not like he's breaking 50-60-70-yard runs off untouched every game.hawknation2018":279z4fh2 said:Rams have an insanely good offensive line, and they’re all great run blockers.
That lowers the prime opportunities for him to break tackles at or near the line of scrimmage.
He’s benefited a lot from those big running lanes, clearly.
His performance dropped like a rock when his O-line wasn't great. (2016)Palmegranite":rgx5jhzy said:3 TDs in week 5 against the Seahawks. With no Todd Gurley it would have been 2-0 instead of 0-2 against the Rams. To be sure, not overrated.
