 Alright my friends, welcome back to another video. In today's video we're looking at Todd Gurley. It's a running back, I'm excited about that, but I'm also excited to hear why he's gone from the Rams to the Falcons. Now as far as I was concerned he was absolutely killing it, not only as a rushing running back, but also a receiving running back. And he wasn't just your average running back was he? The low center of gravity as he takes the tackle, as he takes that contact, he just seems to be able to stay on his feet, he seems to be able to break tackles better than other running backs his size. So with all those things combined, let's get into the video. See what I mean? See? What the fuck bro? He went from 5 to 51. Why? Todd Gurley, 1994, 6 foot 1, 225 pounds. Pick 10 in the first round of the 2015 draft, played at the Rams for four seasons, then went to the Falcons. Although he appeared in most of Los Angeles games, his workload in production decreased and he was released after the 2019 season, just two years after signing a US 60 million dollar extension. While he made three Pro Bowls and a Super Bowl appearance for the Rams, Gurley became marred by leg injuries during the latter part of his tenure. So he's had injury problems. Gurley had March 2nd, 2019. It was reported that Gurley had arthritis in his left knee. He may have been claiming he was healthy when he really wasn't. And in the 2020 season, holy shit, he was released. Okay, so he's released on March 19th this year, which is a couple of months before this video came out. So let's watch that, let's see what they tell us and then let's read the rest. Damn bro. Damn bro. That's Aaron Donald. It seems as if his enthusiasm for for Todd Gurley and what he can do on the field was waning at that point. He's like just find a way a man just do something. It's like it's almost as if Todd Gurley hadn't been performing and the team, including Aaron Donald, including the captain of the defense is actually losing faith in what Todd Gurley can produce. That's what I felt. He always finds a way to get the job done. Rams history to score 13 or more touchdowns in three consecutive seasons. Although he dropped out of the top five, his peers still recognize him as a top 100 player. And I've got to say we're a minute and 35 into this video, but I've seen more highlights, more real real-time game highlights from Todd Gurley than I've seen from any other player on this list. I actually really, really enjoyed that and I'm sorry Todd, I take back anything I said about you not performing because it seems as if Aaron Donald actually meant do what you always do and find a way and he is finding a way, but I do need to look at his stats for last year. So he went 1106 yards in his rookie year, 885, 1305, 1251. So in 2019, which is last year, he had 223 attempts for 857 yards at an average of 3.8, which is not as worst, but it's under par. He had 12 touchdowns still, 12 rushing touchdowns and they still let him go because of his injuries. He's played for Atlanta this year, he's played 12 games so far. He is down on production at 645 yards from 181 attempts, but he does still have nine rushing touchdowns and I like that, bringing his total to 67 for his career. He finds a way. Actually, yeah, let me have a look at his receiving stats because in 2017, he had over 2000 all-purpose yards, 1305 from from rushing and 788 from receiving. This year, not so much. He's got 98, 98 yards. They haven't been targeting him very much. He's a guy you want out there. He is a guy you want out there and one thing I do want to say is that, well, is that Mike Tyson or is that Flowers? Go, son. Cooper Kup. Something he does all too well. In this upcoming season, he's taking his stiff-arming talents to Atlanta. That he is. Well, look, I don't know if you're going to go straight for the knees, but at least go for the waist. That's nice, man. See, now he's not like, he's not going to be your Derek Henry, where he literally grabs that helmet and fucking forces the face into the ground, but he's certainly got an effective stiff arm. See, we call that a fend in the game of rugby, right? It's a nice fend. A fend to the face, a fend on the shoulder, a fend to the throat would probably have to be one of the most spectacular to see. Can you imagine that? A tackler coming in full force, probably too high. The stiff arm comes out and literally, you know, grabs him right on the throat. His feet just get completely taken out from under him, and he gets slammed into the ground. I've probably seen that, like, three or four times in the game of rugby, and it is absolutely spectacular. I think Sunny Bill Williams might have done that, actually. In fact, in fact, before we go, I'm going to try and lock that up. Greatest fend ever, Sunny Bill Williams. Let's have a look. Oh, that was a good one. I'm hoping we get some... Oh, my God. We'll find it here. I fucking love Sunny Bill Williams, by the way. He's one of my favorite rugby players of all time, and if we can find this fend in high quality, it's going to be a cracker. It's going to be an absolute cracker. There we go. Oh, mate, look at that. That's the kind of shit I'm talking about. Now, Sunny Bill Williams is bigger than Derek Henry. Look at that. Way too high, way too high. Slammed right in the throat. In fact, we'll call that a throat slam. His feet are taken way out from under him. He's got no power, nothing behind that tackle, and yet he's coming up against a six foot four, 120 kg monster in Sunny Bill Williams. Sorry, mate. Anyway, back to Todd Gurley. That would not be good, eh? Fuck you'd feel embarrassed if your kids are watching your game and you got stiff armed right to the ground. You would, you would. And I guess at times like that, where you've sort of wished that you hadn't raised your kids to be smart asses, because they're not going to let you live that down. Play of the season happened in its new home in front of those new fans. Hey, Dad, remember that time that you got stiff armed into the ground? To be honest, that was pretty much as spectacular as the one before. I'm not going to lie. He's got a stiff arm. What did he say? The success started from his understanding of the game and he just had his athletic ability to stick off from there and he was about to fall on the top of his base in his knee. Oh, yeah. No doubt. Your boy is back. Okay, that was cool. He's playing for Atlanta. He's, he's, he's still being productive. I mean, he's, he's starting games, right? He's just starting running back, which is good, good to hear. I just hope that he can bring it back and, and, you know, smash out another thousand yards next season. And I reckon he's certainly capable of it. So I give him all my support. I say, told girlie, I want to see you on the top 50 next year, but you didn't quite make it this year. Anyways, guys, that was enough of that. In the next one, we're looking at a Colts player and believe it or not, we are in the top half. We did it. We actually did it. It's Darius Leonard. I do not have a Colts jersey. So I'm going to keep this one on with that in mind. I'll see you soon. Can't believe we're doing this. I'm going to keep going. This is a point where I'd usually stop for the day, but I'm not going to because I've got a nice cup of coffee and end of the day. And at the end of the day, guys, as I look through this list, there's basically going to be very, very few players that don't peak my interest, okay, more than what I've seen previously. And that makes for a very exciting list. So guys, thank you so much for watching. Once again, thank you for your support. It means a lot. Like the video if you've liked it. Subscribe for more. And I'll see you in the next one. Peace out.
