One of the keys to the Los Angeles Rams success in 2023 will be whether or not they can successfully incorporate the run game in the offense and be more balanced. Head coach Sean McVay seemed to find something at the end of last season with Cam Akers. However, ever since Todd Gurley’s injury at the end of the 2018 season, the Rams have struggled to find a consistent run game.
When McVay joined the Rams in 2017, his Shanahan-West Coast offense inspired run game took the NFL by storm. Gurley won the NFL’s Offensive Player of the Year in 2017 and may have won it again in 2018 had he not gotten hurt.
