The Los Angeles Rams made it all the way to the Super Bowl, and then fell flat on their face. They managed just three points in the big game and Jared Goff struggled mightily. As they look to make another Super Bowl run, here are the three most pressing questions facing the team heading into […]

Todd Gurley insisted health had nothing to do with his diminished role during the Los Angeles Rams’ run to Super Bowl LII. He had just 10 carries and was on the sidelines for extended stretches of his team’s 13-3 loss to the New England Patriots, despite the team’s supposed plan to make him a more […]

If running back C.J. Anderson leaves the Los Angeles Rams in NFL free agency this summer, it will hurt them in more ways than one. Not only will they be losing a guy who proved to be a revelation for them in the ground game late in the season, but they won’t even receive a […]

The Los Angeles Rams’ offense has been the team’s strength this season, but that has yet to manifest in their Super Bowl 53 matchup with the New England Patriots. That has a lot to do with the fact that the backfield tandem of Todd Gurley and C.J. Anderson was a non-factor in the first half. […]

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 […]

If you were expecting Los Angeles Rams star running back Todd Gurley to receive a heavy workload in the Super Bowl – then sorry, you’re out of luck. Just as it was arranged in the NFC title win over the New Orleans Saints two weeks ago, due to Gurley’s knee and conditioning concerns, he and […]

Under the guidance of Bill Belichick and the leadership of the legendary Tom Brady, the New England Patriots have amassed the greatest dynasty in the history of professional football. Their greatness rivals the New York Yankees, Michael Jordan’s Chicago Bulls, Nick Saban’s Alabama Crimson Tide, and John Wooden’s UCLA Bruins. New England’s dynastic rule over […]

It is no secret that the Los Angeles Rams are underdogs going into Super Bowl LIII versus the New England Patriots. Fortunately, running back C.J. Anderson has a good idea of how Los Angeles can overcome the odds. There are few ways to find an edge over an experienced team like New England. According to […]

Los Angeles Rams running back C.J. Anderson is perhaps the Super Bowl’s most unlikely key contributor.

Anderson may have been cut by the Carolina Panthers earlier in the season, but that does not mean he wasn’t grateful for the opportunity. “My time in Carolina was special because I got to learn from good coaches and good players,” Anderson said, according to Jourdan Rodrigue of The Charlotte […]

There has been a whole of talk about Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley lately, and not for the usual reasons. Normally, we talk about Gurley because he just lit up someone’s defense or set some kind of record, but this past week, we have been discussing him because of his struggles during the […]

The Los Angeles Rams are Super Bowl bound! However, the typically high-powered and well-rounded Rams offense oddly did not really require the services of All-Pro running back Todd Gurley to defeat both the Dallas Cowboys and New Orleans Saints in back-to-back weeks.

Anderson punctured a stout Dallas Cowboys run defense for 123 yards and a couple of touchdowns in the Rams’ 30-22 win in the Divisional Round of the playoffs last weekend.

The Dallas Cowboys simply had no answer for the Los Angeles Rams’ rushing attack in the NFC Divisional Round.

[…]

While Todd Gurley is always going to be the face of the Los Angeles Rams’ ground attack, it can’t be denied that C.J. Anderson has been huge for Sean McVay’s team since being acquired by it last December. In fact, Anderson has been the Rams’ rushing leader in each of their last three games, a […]

The Los Angeles Rams have one of the best running backs in the league in Todd Gurley but Sean McVay thinks it will be a balanced attack of Gurley and C.J. Anderson that will get the job done. Gurley is expected to be ready to go for this showdown against the Dallas Cowboys, but with […]

C.J. Anderson days as a member of the Carolina Panthers are now over.
