falconfansince66 Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 IF Todd Gurley can carry 15 times a game and average 4 yards/carry = 60 yards a game x 16 games = 960 total rushing yards Add to that 3 receptions/game and average 10 yards/catch = 30 yards a game x 16 games = 480 total receiving yards Then totaling 1440 yards in a season working on a 'part time' load compared to what he's been doing, then add to that an average of 14 TD's a season, then yeah, I would be happy with that kind of production and I think that's his 'floor' as we all know of his ceiling. The biggest factor is our OL run blocking and protection of MR2. Peteshweddy, PokerSteve, pearljamnash13 and 10 others 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I were a betting man I’d bet Free YPC goes up this year....I’m glad we got Gurley but Free was flashing a little in the last half of the season. I think he has a few good yrs left as long as he doesn’t bump his head too hard. The problem with Free was we overpaid him. It won’t surprise me one bit to see him have a good yr if he has a decent OL. ...just hope it’s not in Tampa Vandy and vitaman 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will transform this offense into pure dynamite. Peteshweddy, RING OF HONOR, RedandBlack4ever and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boise Falcon Fan Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 I find it concerning that DK was measured in his assessment of TG's ability to stay healthy. I am certain that he is aware of TG's medicals, workouts, etc., and the way he seems concerned makes me nervous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was always going to be concern and risk involved in signing Gurley, if there wouldn't have been he would've been able to get much more than a 1 year 6 mill offer this offseason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not what he said, it's how he said it. Didn't seem as optimistic as someone should seem when they just got a talent like TG. Everyone knew it was a risk, but I personally think DK doesn't believe that TG can stay healthy. Obviously I may be reading into something that isn't there, but I don't think so. I am excited to have TG on board, and I 100% believe it was a great move. I just am not sure that DK feels the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LightningDawg58 Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Any running back will look good with a great line blocking for him. Any running can look bad with a poor line blocking for him I dont care if its Freeman, Gurley, Turner, Dunn, whoever. All a great running back does better is get you a couple of cheap yards when the blocking is busted, or makes defenders miss at the third level. But inside the box, if there are no holes, then its a wrap. Freeman can still make guys miss, Gurley can still get you cheap yards. We have to hope that our O Line performs better and can make some holes for Gurley to run through. They do that and he will produce.

OrthoPTSD Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Am I the only one who when he speaks it goes in one ear and out the other for? If Koetter could just stop with over calling the 5 steps drops/ 3 vertical fly patterns the offense should be fine. He gets Matt killed, I swear the guy is a rubber band. I wish he would throw him under the bus with the play calling, he's earned the right to demand the OC to get it right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m excited to have TG on board as well but DK definitely didn’t convince anybody TG would be the old TG. We could have another Freeman on our hands - just not 100% due to a bum knee. I think Freeman is healthy but that doesn’t mean he’ll stay healthy. Free’s running style will always put concussions and injuries at high risk. But the dude was good when healthy and had an good OL.

falconfansince66 Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 So when people refer to Todd Gurley as "TG", does that make him the "Tony Gonzalez" of RB's? Atl Falcon and ShadyRef 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No.....coming out of college I thought Gurley would be a HOF if he stayEd healthy so he’s got to flash back a few years and stay healthy to mentioned in the same sentence with the real TG 88. falconfansince66 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His asking price and multiple concussions is the problem. But as I have already said I think he’ll have a decent year or better than last yr if he has a good OL. I don’t care one way or the other and certainly don’t wish him bad luck unless playing against the Falcons but after going back and rewatching last yrs games he did show some old flashes later in the season. I’d hate for him to end up in TB and have another’16 yr. and that’s basically what we’re hoping for with Gurley.

AxManBigFan Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 (edited) I think our biggest issue last year was our o-line. Reason why the cowboys always have a run game is there o-line is solid. Freeman can still be a 1k back in this league. Just like Todd Gurley can still be a top running back in this league. If our O-line can step up to atleast average Gurley will have 1k+ yard on the ground and double digit touch downs. I also think ito smith finds a nice roll spelling Gurley. kind of how we used Freeman and Coleman.
