I was pretty skeptical at first but if he plays this week it's not hard to believe it's the truth. I'm thinking that it was half thigh, half maintenance. His knee condition requires preventative maintenance and perhaps they figured they may as well give him rest when they have the extra days because of the Thursday game. It's not really uncommon for RBs to miss games occasionally. Hopefully he's back to RB2 status. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Amari is in a contract year playing for a big contract. He doesn't want to end up injured in FA. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I get it and I kinda agree but a thigh bruise isn’t an injury that you can make worse by playing on it, once you have it the damage is done and you can’t make the original injury much worse by playing on it. But it is a terribly painful thing to have happen, so I guess you could play through it but it seems like it would be uncomfortable to a point where it wouldn’t be worth it to me.

CraftyRighty 308 Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 Good to go LOL!! Gurley will be sharing touches ROS and rest of career. The once RB1 lock and load is gonna be an often injured missing practice faded glory player. He will have good games, bad games, a few great based on match up but the good 'ol days and in the wind........... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Most of you making proclamations about his knee or his performance moving forward have very little facts on either. Gurley was also being left for dead after his catastrophic college injury and his disappointing start in the NFL under Fisher--and you better believe there was plenty of chirping in threads like these from know it alls suggesting that Gurley would never live up to his talent. What we do know is that he's young, immensely talented, in an offense that has proved the potential to be dynamic, and that he received a huge contract from a team that has more info on his injury history than anyone. Is it possible that his injury woes detail his career? Absolutely. But it's far from a certainty and really only time will tell. But let's not forget who this kid is, what he's capable of, and the fact that he's only in his 5th year in the league. He has bounced back once already after everyone was convinced his career was done. Don't be surprised to see him do it again. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Don't be surprised to see him do it again. or you could look at it like this: he’s been playing this game since he was a little kid, he got paid life changing money, and he’s tired of playing through injuries especially at a position that has the shortest shelf life in the NFL Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He misses ONE game and he’s suddenly in a RBBC. Logic left this thread ages ago but damn... 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not trying to be a SA, but seems like down the stretch last year we were told “he’s fine” and then he barely played. So 10% less than an already decreased amount (if that’s the case) is significant, IMO. This part is pure speculation, but it’s certainly not out of the realm of possibility that whatever caused him to play significantly less at the end of last year (even though he was fine then also) has reared it’s ugly head again. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Atlanta was bound to be one of the high water marks for this unit as run blockers, and they went 26 carries for 90 yards, and if you take out Goff's run, no TDs? I mean they should beat up on Cincy's front on Sunday but after that: Steelers Bears Ravens Cardinals (here's maybe a good day?)

owenmills 5,326 Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Gurley should dominate touches until the game is out of hand, which should happen sooner than later. But if the game is out of hand there is a decent chance Gurley has punched in a TD or two. I'm not a Gurley owner but that's how I'd talk myself up for this one.
