When comparing the Los Angeles Rams running attack from 2016 to 2017, there were drastic difference. Not only in terms of production, but also creativity and scheme wise.
Newly appointed Head Coach Sean McVay brought along with him a totally new and creative offense, and the numbers showed. In 2016, the Rams were 31st in both total rushing yards and yards per carry, proving to be an extremely ineffective ground game behind the legs of pro bowler and Offensive Rookie of the Year RB Todd Gurley. 2017 was the turn of a new leaf with the ground game landing 8th in total rushing yards and 7th in yards per carry.
