Reason for so little TG last night


Feb 4, 2019, 8:09 AM

I haven't seen one listed and plenty of chatter on this matter.

I'm not sure what the deal is but I have been a little bit surprised by his success. I always felt like he had to get rolling out of the backfield first to be effective. Toss, sweeps, screens and so on. So many times outside of those plays he would get stuffed by quality opposition, which is what he was facing and in his limited reps I believe he showed just that last night, for the most part. I feel the Rams felt they needed a back that did not require the "start up" to get out of the backfield and that is why TG was starring from the sideline so often last night.

I don't watch a lot of NFL. Does a lot of his yards come versus inferior or tired defenses? Good calls will obviously get him big yards, too, because once he gets rolling he is a load, for sure. However; what I saw last night was pretty much what I was concerned about with him coming out of college.

Thoughts?

He was open over the middle several times when Goff

Goff is still learning to read a defense post snap.

It's tough, if you don't believe me ask Tua.

He's injured. Only had, what, 6 carries in the previous game?

I think the Rams got carried away with the one big game that Anderson had.

They were hoping to catch lightning in a bottle in the NFC championship and Super Bowl and there was nothing there.

Gurley said after the game he was healthy.

I'm guessing that looking back on it, McVay will realize that he should have thanked Anderson for filling in and given Gurley 20 carries.

It's also hard to get a run game going when each drive only lasts 3 plays.
