THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. -- Todd Gurley's role in the Los Angeles Rams offense has recently increased.
The reason, according to Rams coach Sean McVay, is quite simple.
"Me not being an idiot," McVay said Wednesday.
The Rams have sputtered through a 7-5 season as McVay has been hesitant to commit to the run and eager to rely on the passing game. Gurley, once the focal point of McVay's offense, has been relegated to a role player, sharing a portion of his workload with backups Malcolm Brown and Darrell Henderson.
Until recently, that is.
