With Todd Gurley and Tavon Austin, St. Louis Rams have scary offense

His 457 passing yards against the Ravens set a Browns franchise record. "So, it'll be a great match-up and fun for people to watch these two guys go at it".

We already know the Rams defense is stout. Eric Dickerson did it in 1983 and 1984 and Marshall Faulk in 2002. Cleveland faces the St. Louis Rams this weekend and their rookie sensation, RB Todd Gurley. Nothing against any of those backs, but none has the all-around ability to dominate a game - at least potentially - the way Gurley has shown in limited action coming off ACL surgery.

As a lifelong Pittsburgher, I have seen three Steelers head coaches in my lifetime. Foles has only completed 57.4 percent of his passes this year for 956 yards with six touchdowns and five interceptions.

Coach Jeff Fisher said Gurley is still not at 100 percent.

It's kind of where our expectations were. St. Louis now sits 5 in the league in pass defense, surrendering only 1,177 receiving yards, and sit joint atop the NFL with Denver and Carolina having given up just five touchdowns through the air. In those three games, quarterbacks are averaging 265 yards passing, 28 yards rushing and three total touchdowns per game. I mean, Todd Gurley is better than Ronnie Hillman.

"It feels like there's a lot that are 2-3, 3-2 right now and are still trying to find their identity and really just looking to stack games and get on a roll", linebacker James Laurinaitis said.

Still, outside of a few noteworthy wins against Pittsburgh and Cincinnati in 2014, Cleveland's defense is not the backbone Pettine and Farmer anticipated it would be, and that could have a damning impact on both of their futures.

Gurley didn't even think about what he might have done had he stuck around in college. If he's able to run up and down the field on the Browns, it's incredibly hard to see this as a game they can win.

It was the only time I can ever remember feeling a bit uneasy covering an event - other than walking through the garage area at Daytona when a race or practice was being run. Foles is not the player in their backfield that I fear the most.

Gurley isn't content to just do well in the NFL. He spends time after practice working with a JUGS machine that sends football his way so he can work on his pass catching mechanics.

The St Louis Rams have a game against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, and it has been a busy week after the bye week for St Louis.

The Rams, who have the league's worst offense, figure to use a run-heavy game plan with Gurley when they host the Browns on Sunday. "He's going to continue to get better".

Murray is coming off of a bye week so he should be well rested and healthier than he was when he played in Denver. The Rams have the best defensive line, and McCown is going to end up paying the price in a big way.

Gurley is a fantasy star in the making, even if games of 30 carries like he had against Green Bay on October 11 will be the exception to the norm as the Rams manage Gurley's touches and look to get Tre Mason, now dealing with an ankle issue, more involved. As I think back, it's incredible people weren't hurt during those post-game scenes. I definitely got to double that. You look at the very first game of the year, offensively, that drive, 17-18 plays, whatever it was. The line is now missing its most experienced starter in injured guard Rodger Saffold. Coach Mike Pettine said in a conference call with St. Louis reporters that Cleveland had considered taking Gurley with the 12th pick. "That's how we do things".
