I have seen him up close and that dude is built like an outside LB. He has to be a handful for DBs to try and tackle.
I love TG30.

They showed one replay from the endzone in real time from behind the safety who was lined up trying to stop him - it looked like a bull running at a fence. You could almost see the guy literally quaking in his cleats. It was noticeable that he got better as the game wore on and the defense tired out - that is helped by him feeding them his pads all day long. They have had enough pain by the 4th quarter and you start to focus on just stopping him, rather than delivering a hit on him.
First Dickerson, then Faulk, then Jackson, and now Gurley. We have a great tradition of elite halfbacks.
welcome!
yes. I loved Gurley for the bulldogs. Sorry about the loss to Bama on Sat.
You are right, he was beefing in with the honey badger at the end of his runs.
Thanks. Bama ruined Saturday but Todd managed to ease the pain Always been a DGD !!

Okay...so it's possible. But as we saw, it wasn't possible for them to win once Gurley went down.(barring a botched snap)
Maybe so but strange things happen on the football field. Best to go to victory formation and let your team seal the deal. He did exactly what we needed him to do and showed it was all about winning - not his personal stats. And yeah - I loved the little two yard gain and dancing around to chew up clock and stay in bounds.
I am giddy. He is the piece we needed after the Foles acquisition. Foles was efficient with three TD's and a win, vs Sam Bradford's 3 TD's and loss....Sam just can't catch a break, and our break is a healthy Todd Gurley.....Most of his yards were in the 2nd half, and Austin came up HUGE. and our OLINE came up big (course, Gurley's running helped). Showed the difference between Gurley and Mason..not slamming Mason, but he's just not Gurley's equal.
What acceleration, absolutely hypnotizing. :eek:
I'm always impressed with his tremendous balance, running through or deflecting blows that would stagger or put down so many other RB's.
He ran for 106 yards in the 4th qtr alone.
:alien:
:alien:
Agreed. Makes me think of SJ. I loved SJ but it seemed like he always got tripped up by an ankle tackle right before he would break a big run. Those guys weren't even slowing Gurley.
Whoever 51 is that cat is fast too./cdn0.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/4124492/grly.0.gif)
I have to admit I didn't want to see the kid until week 8 or so. Happy the front office and coaches didn't listen to me.
In the slo mo replays of his 52 yd run, #25 Cards tries to leap at him & just FACE PLANTS!!!! LOOOOOOVVVE it!!!!!
Just to add a few small extra's like HOF Bettis the original Battering RAM, Lawrence McCutcheon who with Cullen Bryant our RB's in the first RAMS Super Bowl . Willie Ellison our first 1000 yard rusher when we only played 12 games. Wendell Tyler, Greg Bell who we got in trade from Bills and led the whole league as a RAM in Rushing for one Season. So many more GREAT RB's that played in HORN's in my lifetime but I bore you young kids because you were just a gleam in your Dads eye. RAMS are Famous for thier RB's and for me to see another one Break his cherry today has me over the Moon. He COULD be Dickerson IF this line grows with him. We have Wichmann to step in for Saffold when that day comes and our guys are still pups that still scare me some times. Jamon Brown got blown up today and I've not seen that before. Just a few more bumps for this growing bunch with G. Rob and Havenstein is looking even better. I could be getting excited if we can get AO back before the PLAYOFFS and FRESH with Ayers forced to get reps and earn his $$$ along with young Hagor,Lynch & we NEED Bates bigtime. Time for Fairley and Brian Quick to join the Party. NO INJURIES!!!
Gurley was maybe at 4.7 30 last week (Timid) expected. Today he went arond 4.6-4.5 and we will see his fastball real soon as he broke his cherry today and will be put in the cold tub tomorrow or Fisher might throw him in tonight. That is Fishers (Future). WE WILL SEE THE 4.4 to 4.3 that is DICKERSON at his peak with more Power and he will Hurdle peeps out of nowhere as he's been trained that way. LMAO!!! NO INJURIES!!!

Without a doubt. Having a guy that talented in the backfield just changes everything.
Green Bay is going to be $h!tt!ng their pants watching film from this game. Cigs also has done a great job of freezing the defenses with all the misdirection and ensuring they don't know what's coming. They still stalled out plenty of drives but in order to gameplan for this offense it'll be necessary to start with the whole thing designed around Gurley. All of a sudden Tavon is problem #2.
Oh and btw... Wait until Gurley really gets settled in the screen and outlet pass game. Defenses are gonna rip their hair out trying to contain him. Or so I hope.
