Situation

Gurley has landed in a situation that can make him look good in the eyes of those around the NFL. The Rams spent two draft picks after him on offensive lineman to open up holes for him to run through. And it won’t be the defense vs Gurley as Kenny Britt and deep threat Tavon Austin will have quarterback Nick Foles to throw passes to them.

Foles throws one of the better deep balls in the NFL and Austin is an undeniable, certifiable blazer. So when teams decide to put eight in the box to stop him, the Rams can make those teams pay. Being able to attack a defense deep has always been the way to protect your running game.

Then the Rams have the most important part to go hand in hand with a good running game. They have a great defense that will be better at getting the ball back as they play with a running game. Their division plays ball with the defense and running game at forefront and the Rams will have the best of both worlds in 2015
