re: Todd Gurley respect

When watching Todd Gurley play, one realizes that in addition to all the power, speed, cutting ability, the one constant need is balance, and while it can be worked on, it is also just a natural talent. I remember the TV guys were showing Gurley hopping cones on one foot pre game to LSU and thinking, damn, I would sprain an ankle if that was me. Just watch the play where the USCe D guy pulls his helmet off via the face mask. The most impressive thing about that is that Gurley didn't somehow fall. I mean seriously, how many how there wouldn't have fallen at that point?

I truly think balance is the thing that separates the very athletic, good backs from the great ones. Marshall is great. I love him, but watch how many times he is easily tripped up by a grab at his feet. That is the difference between the two.
