Better recievers

Another way to get Todd Gurley back to his usual self is to spread the wealth. While they could still be a run heavy team if they want to, not everything should come down to Gurley.

Give Goff more weapons to throw to, especially ones that can grab shorter passes and get more yards after the catch.

Options are abounding for the Rams to pursue, as it’s likely Kenny Britt won’t be coming back to the team. In that list of potential newcomers are names like Pierre Garcon, DeSean Jackson, and Victor Cruz.

All hailing from the NFC East, these receivers could help establish the receiving corp that Jared Goff needs to develop into a star and that Todd Gurley needs to lighten the load.

He can’t do it himself, and that was a big part of the problem last year.
