Todd Gurley.


Bawse

Recommended Posts

I'm a Gurley fan, but I'm starting to think that we should start merging all Gurley threads. If it's going to be like this, then just make an official one. wink.png

I don't know what's worse, the peterpiper type gloom and doom threads or the people who make thread after thread after thread after thread after thread about the one player that gives them a stiffy.......and none of the threads actually have any news

Don't compare that poster to Bawse please. It's disrespectful. Bawse isn't nearly that bad. smile.png

I like bawse normally. He's just really gotten carried away with his 'affection' for Todd. Yeah, the comparison IN THIS CASE is accurate.

And for the record, I'm a DAWGS fan and a Todd Gurley fan. I'd love to see us draft him, but in the place where he (or any other RB need to be drafted)

I'd just love to see all the gurley threads merged

ANALYSIS

STRENGTHS Rare blend of speed and power. Immense power in legs and shows balance through contact. Shreds arm tackles and has speed to house it. Very hard to tackle on an angle. Professional, decisive runner. Presses line of scrimmage to set up his cut-back runs. Gets downhill with knee bend and forward lean, staying small through the hole. Uses quick, tight steps to second level. Will sink and explode into tackler or side-step and jet, causing hesitation in downhill safeties with their approach. Converts "speed to power" between tackles and around corner. Rarely looks to run out of bounds and finishes his runs. Able to factor out of the backfield with soft hands and ability to adjust to throws. In 2014, churned out an amazing 61.9 percent of his rushing yardage after contact. Strong hands and carries ball tight to his body. Only three fumbles in 510 carries.

WEAKNESSES Missed three games in 2013 due to ankle injury and tore his ACL in 2014. Questions about whether he'll return back to his play speed are a big concern. Vision is average. Still gaining feel as a zone runner. Too locked into looking for cutback lanes when play-side run is open. Can get better at setting up blockers in space. Average creativity in tight quarters. Patience and tempo as a runner can improve. Quick passing attack limited his protection opportunities but was very average when given the shot.

NFL COMPARISON Marshawn Lynch

BOTTOM LINE

The rehab work and NFL Scouting Combine medicals will be extremely important for Gurlie's draft stock as teams assess his potential durability as an NFL running back. He played less than 40 percent of his team's offensive snaps over the last three years, so there is plenty of tread still on the tires. Has the talent to be a top-five NFL running back, but ACL tear clouds the short-term picture.
