Hey, this isn't an ethnocentric slam in any way, whatsoever....As Gurley is waiting for his first 100 yard game, it seems the more sullen and withdrawn he gets. He doesn't like interviews, and the guy in the Hardee's commercial isn't to be seen. While talking, those dreadlocks are in front of his face, and it drives me crazy just watching it, because I know I couldn't stand the same obstructions over my face/eyes...Of course, it's not a complete coverage of the face, but it reminds me a lot of of Ricky Williams in post game new interviews at New Orleans. I believe he (Williams) had depression issues, along with drug usage..Not saying Gurley is struggling with either (cuz I don't know), but it make wonder if there is something beyond just the game...Anyone else feel the same?

If he's reading or hearing the reports he certainly can't be happy and with the first third of the season he's had you know he isn't happy with that. Is he depressed? Smoking weed isn't a drug problem, smoking crack or doing heroin is a drug problem.

The Rams have plenty of resources around and they know what he's dealing with. I'm more concerned with figuring out how to shake him loose and getting him in some space. That will cure a lot

You are entitled to your opinion.....All I know is that Williams knew he could lose millions of dollars for smoking weed and a career that most only dream of, and he still chose to do it..Legal or not, at the very least it was VERY stupid.

Let's hope Gurley gets it going on the field in London.....

You should dig up some pressers of his from last year and see if there's any difference.
I honestly can't remember how he acted in those things in 2015.

Smoking weed can definitely be an addiction...it's not as common but it happens. You ever hear of Josh Gordon?
I also know a couple people in my own life that have a problem with it.
I know one person that drives his kids to school baked. He has had a problem since high school.

Maybe that 15 pounds he lost in the offseason is effecting his play, if that's the case we need to get him down to Kushmart and get him on that Eddy Lacy diet till he gets that 15 back. :snicker:

An O-Line that can not only Pass-Block But Run-Block would be a good start!:shades:

Unless he dyes those dreads blonde... Nothing to be concerned about.

If he goes with the Beckham hair color I will stick my fingrer down my throat until I choke to death..A little bit of an over reaction, I know...Now since he added a cameo in the soup commercial I hope he's not on the cusp of going Hollywood...
