Much of Gurley’s success this season has come on “home run” rushes, as he leads the league in breakaway percentage, which shows which RBs earn the highest (and lowest) percentage of their yardage on runs of 15+ yards. 50.4 percent of Gurley’s yards have come on such rushes—Doug Martin is behind him at 44.7.
i’d been hoping for some more consistency from gurley at this point. to go along with all the explosive plays. unless they can actually accomplish that i don’t know how effective this offense can be.
reminds me a little of the lions when they had barry sanders.
