Rams RB Todd Gurley II – Rams-Buccaneers Postgame Quotes – September 29, 2019
(On if it is frustrating that he is not getting the ball as much as he has in the past)
“I control what I control. At the end of the day, we didn’t get the win, whether I had 20 carries or two carries. Definitely want to get the win, that’s the main thing, but Seattle next on Thursday.
(On if he is seeing things from opposing defenses that are making them more reluctant to run the ball)
“I don’t call the play calls, bro.”
(On how he maintains a rhythm when he’s not running the ball as much, but still on the field)
“Like I say, I don’t call the plays, I go out there and play. I block for ‘JG’ (QB Jared Goff), run the ball, run the routes – whatever –whatever the play call is, I’m going to go out there and do it just like everyone else is going to go out there and do their job. It’s 11 people on the field and there’s only one ball.”
(On what his routine will be getting ready to play Seattle next week)
“I mean – you know how I feel about Thursday night games – I feel like they are the dumbest thing ever. But, for the most part, if you aren’t really battling injuries or stuff like that, Thursday is kind of like a day you usually feel good anyway. Short week – nothing too crazy. Get a couple lifts in and then, like I’m saying it’s really just get ready for Thursday. They played on Sunday as well, just like us. So, we just have a quick turn around, go up to Seattle try to take care of business.”
