Todd Gurley is a fan of former free agent pickup C.J. Anderson, and he said that he wants Anderson to come back to the Los Angeles Rams next season.

In fact, according to a recent interview with the Rapsheet and Friends podcast, Rams running back coach Skip Peete feels that Gurley and Anderson should be splitting carries both tonight, for the Super Bowl, and in the coming season.

“We said, ‘Going forward, we got to make sure you're fresh, you're healthy.' The workload that you had prior to you sitting out, probably can't go that route right now. He understood that. He played. It's just his touches weren't what they had normally been.”

While there have been some concerns about Gurley's health in recent weeks, Anderson has been impressing the Rams brass.

That said, there has been more focus on Gurley and his health, which Peete chalks up to him being “rusty” with the cardio rather than it being anything of major concern. Gurley, we'll recall, was the one who impressed the brass when the Rams played the Cowboys.

“If you look at a guy who hasn't really practiced in two or three weeks, then all of the sudden has to go out there and play (in the playoffs), the cardio isn't where it needs to be to play 60 or 70 plays. And that's what he had been doing before he sat out. You need to kind of work him back where you put him in situations where it makes sense. That happened in the Dallas game, and I thought he did some things in the last game.”

Anderson, Gurley, and the Rams will be playing against the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl, tonight.
