Refried Beans 1,485 Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 Never waits for hole to develop, if it aint there he improvises and loses yards. Losing 7 yards on 3rd and 2 is ridiculous at this level. You are taught from elementary school to hit the hole and run straight in short yardage. When you watch replay, the hole developed after Gurley had already decided to do his own thing. THAT play. Cost us the game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MAD597 7,497 Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 He's done, he has no burst, while he is still young he is similar to our Stephen Jackson singing where we got a RB who was done. Refried Beans and FalconJim 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Refried Beans 1,485 Posted December 6, 2020 Author Share Posted December 6, 2020 I hope Blank sees this and continues to make deep cuts in front office and scouting. Organization is making poor decisions in regards to coaches and player personell. Teams looks like 6 people trying and others just collecting checks. vitaman 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thanat0s 5,165 Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 Sadly, we got the back half career Gurley, not prime Gurley. Not SJax bad, but he’s definitely not an every down guy now. We should’ve drafted him and gotten that Gurley. FalconFanSince1970, mtldirtybird, Refried Beans and 2 others 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FalconDawg28 357 Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 If you take away Gurley’s 121 yard game against Carolina he is averaging 3.13 yards per carry. That should tell you everything you need to know about our starting running back. Refried Beans 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He still has good vision if we let him play behind a horizontal zone scheme. Freeman was never a top-end speedy kind of guy but he made it work in that kind of scheme. mtldirtybird 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I agree and I think you can say that about the run game as a whole since 4 Of our OL are better fits for the ZBS as well as Hennessy but it this system he isn’t playable and I honestly would play both Hill and smith over him going forward Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PriMeTiiMe 7,838 Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Remember how much Burst he had week 1 vs Seattle. Week by week he has gotten worse and worse. That Carolina game makes his numbers not look as bad but he is horrific at this point. Definitely costed us the Detroit game and played a large part in us losing at the end of this game losing 7 on a short yardage situation in the redzone. It's time to end this experiment. Start Ito and let Gurley get the carries inside the 5 yardline. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But it's the backs fault there's nowhere to run consistently, sure. Ran the ball fine with Mularkey Koetter comes: we can't run the ball. "Turner is done" "Jackson is done" after both coming off productive 1000 yard seasons Shanahan comes: omg we can run the ball again. Sark comes: we can run the ball decently Koetter comes back: omg these backs suck, Gurley can't hit the hole. Even though there isn't a hole to hit lmao Point blank, we can't run the ball because Koetter can't run the ball. It's not the running backs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
