Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio updated his power rankings today ahead of training camp for most teams, and he’s got the Los Angeles Rams lower than most for a reason I wholeheartedly disagree with:
7. Rams (No. 3): If Todd Gurley‘s best days are behind him, the Rams will be regrouping, at best, in 2019.
I don’t necessarily take issue ranking the Rams 7th, but to do so because of a running back flies in the face of the evidence we’ve seen over the last 20 or so years with the rule changes and technical advancement of the passing game.
