Rams Head Coach Sean McVay has denied it and has used his coachspeak to avoid admitting to limiting Gurley’s opportunities, but through five games there’s no denying that Gurley is being used much, much less than a year ago.
Gurley’s first five games in 2018: 101 carries, 415 rushing yards, 7 rushing TDs, 25 targets, 19 receptions, 230 receiving yards, 2 receiving TDs.
Gurley’s first five games in 2019: 64 carries (↓36.63%), 270 rushing yards (↓34.94%), 5 rushing TDs (↓28.57%), 22 targets (↓12.00%), 14 receptions (↓26.32%), 68 receiving yards (↓70.43%), 0 receiving TDs (↓100.00%)
Yeah. Pretty overwhelming.
