One of my doubts was that while Gurley played they had a lot less consistent run blocking. Gurley has been hit a lot behind the line and turned into 3-4 yard gains a lot. That's what made him great. I also should say that happened a lot more the past two years but it had me leery. But, like the defense, they stepped up the past few games but they aren't the best going. Damn good though. I sure as shite am less angry than usual which is saying something even if it is meaningless.

According to the tv broacast this past weekend, Chubb has been hit behind the line of scrimmage around 48% of the time, and Gurley was somewhere around 25%(cant remember the actual number).

The stat I heard saturday was Gurley gets hit behind the line at 24% (or something close to that) and Chubb gets hit behind the line at 48%.

Why, I wonder? Is Chubb slower getting to the line? Are the plays starting farther behind the line to give Chubb time to spot a hole? Hard t say.
