I know he had two TDs yesterday, but still no 100 yard game. No big TD runs of 20+. Just like a Johnny Gill song, “I’m Still Waiting.”

He needs a better O line.

The upside to being a Rams fan is heartbreak.

Sprinkles are for winners.

He got going yesterday in the 2nd half. You could see it, it was there.

But since it was only a half it doesn’t register as a 100 yards.

But if you saw him in the 2nd half…it WAS there. He was up to full steam. He was getting the yards.

Still waiting for those long runs of 20+. We still have not got that yet.

Watching the game on internet TV is difficult at best.

There were a couple of runs that Benny had, where it seemed like he had more burst than Todd had.

Not sure if he was facing the same stacked Defenses that Todd was facing, or if the Ds backed off a bit when they saw Benny lining up in the backfield. Anybody else get that sense as well?

Gurley, ……..defenses are keying on him, especially with a QB like Case that gives a strong perception that the Rams have a one dimensional run offense with a ROY in the backfield…..

it was good to see the Rams remain patient with the run game even when they were down 20-10….. Gurley had 27 carries, only 10 or so in the 1st half… I thought that he was utilized well, especially in the 2nd half….

Regarding Benny, he did convert the long 3rd and 17…it was a nice play call with the delayed handoff … that 22 yard run by Benny caught the Bucs off guard to get the 1st down that ultimately set up a 53 yarder by Zuerliner. Speaking Zuerline… he’s have a very solid year thus far… special teams was a big factor yesterday, Greg the Leg delivered and Aguayo for the Bucs did not…..

just image if they still had Tre Mason…… Rams would be really deep at RB…
