Rams RB Todd Gurley sees '12 people on the field'

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Case Keenum said he was "seeing ghosts" last week.

Now apparently so is Todd Gurley.

"It's crazy," the Rams' star running back said after Friday's practice. "I'm like, 'Man, that's 12 people on the field!'"

Gurley was referring to the amount of players opposing defenses are stacking in the box to prevent him from running the ball effectively. The second-year pro has amassed only 98 yards on 36 carries through the first two weeks and is averaging 0.89 yards before first contact, a clear indication that opposing defenses are penetrating the line of scrimmage to suffocate Gurley every time he touches the ball.
