The Rams haven't had a feature back since Dickerson, maybe Bettis...

Anybody else catch Gruden saying this after picking Gurley? Were Faulk and Jackson chopped liver?

 

[Memento]

Gruden isn't even worth paying attention to.

 

[HE WITH HORNS]

Okay, Chucky said it, I was about to rip you a new one!

 

[RaminExile]

Man I love me some Chucky but that's just demonstrably wrong.

 

[RAMSinLA]

I think Chucky's been drinking.

 

[Elmgrovegnome]

I think Chuckie speaks without thinking most of the time.

His evaluations are crap too because he is swayed by how much he likes a guys personality.

Yeah I heard him say that. He's human but that's a pretty big slip up

 

[Ramrasta]

I'm NOT a firm believer in the evaluation skills of the Gruden family. They talk to hear their own voice sometimes.

But it's true.

Marshall was a part of the GSOT. He was one of many weapons.

ED was THE weapon. Hence, the feature back designation.

The only two feature backs in the NFL now are AP and Lynch. Even McCoy and Murray were parts of offensive systems that had viable alternatives.

I dunno if Gurley will be a feature back (I hope not because I prefer a well rounded O), but I think he could be one. He has that level of skill and talent.

I would never say Faulk couldn't be a feature back (he was in Indy), but as a Ram and HoFer, he was Mr All Around Back, not Mr Feature Back.

Jackson? He singlehandedly beat the Lions so we didn't go 0-16.

 

[Mackeyser]

I think Gurley will be as powerful, but with two more gears than SJ39. Here's the hope, anyway.

He singlehandedly beat a team that what won more game than the Rams.
Dickerson singlehandedly got the Rams to the playoffs. He was the offense. He's got this record of most yards in a season.
