Boom. 71 yd TD run.
He's a monster.
Reminiscent of Jim Brown, Dickerson and Peterson.
Big, thick, powerful backs with elite speed/athleticism that ran away from smaller defenders in the open field with rare angle-destroying jets.
No matter how good many thought he was, production is the ultimate acid test, and he keeps proving it and separating himself on a regular basis every week. He might already be the best RB in the league (looks like Bell went down and grabbed his knee, hope he is OK). As good as Cooper is, he is running away with the Rookie of the Year if he sustains the torrid, incendiary first four game pace.
He hasn't played long, but at this rate, he probably deserves to be in the top 10 in the 2016 iteration of NFLs Top 100 Players. He is special, with the elite talent to carry the Rams on his shoulders and almost singlehandedly (they also have a potentially great defense) elevate the beleaguered and chronically inept franchise into the playoffs for the first time in a decade plus.
* Still just the first half.
As predicted, his speed should increase as he rounds into form. RBs aren't supposed to be that fast for their size, and no matter how it looks on the film, it is always shocking to defenders live and on the field, very hard to simulate and prepare for a dude like Gurley in practice, putting them at a fundamental, inherent disadvantage.
