THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. -- Todd Gurley seemed all set to become one of the NFLs most prominent running backs when he moved west with the Los Angeles Rams.So far, his numbers arent looking good under the Hollywood spotlight.Gurley is halfway through an unimpressive season on an offense apparently incapable of getting him room to run. While his coaches praise his work ethic and mental approach, Gurley acknowledges hes simply trying not to get frustrated.Just got to stay consistent, Gurley said Friday before the Rams flew to New York. Just stay patient.Gurley is 18th in the NFL with 451 yards rushing, but his 3.1 yards per carry are the worst among the NFLs top 45 ball carriers. He hasnt broken a run longer than 33 yards all season, and his carries are declining to just 41 over the past three games.With little respect for the Rams passing game, defenses have loaded up to stop Gurley all season long -- and its working. He hasnt topped 85 yards in any game this year, and he has scored just three touchdowns.The Rams (3-5) have lost four straight as they head out to face the Jets (3-6), who have one of the NFLs best run defenses. Gurleys wait to get rolling could easily last another week, but the Rams cant afford to wait much longer for results from the leagues 31st-ranked offense.The biggest challenge for us offensively is running the football, coach Jeff Fisher said. Todd is not getting enough carries. Our passing numbers are skewed. ... His touches and his numbers need to increase significantly. Thats what we discussed, and what were working on right now.But when Gurley gets those touches, he hasnt been able to do much with them, which leads to an offense that fell behind and required Case Keenum to throw 99 passes over the last two games.The Rams are desperate for any consistency in their offense, but offensive coordinator Rob Boras realizes a steady running game would make it easier for Gurley to find the rhythm he has lacked all season. Gurley and Los Angeles offensive line simply cant execute it against those run-focused defenses.For any runner, and especially a guy like Todd ... the more carries they get, the more that theyre going to settle in, Boras said. Not only as a runner, but as the blockers, the O-line, the tight ends. Part of that is staying on the field and sustaining some drives and eliminating three-and-outs. Thats obviously what were trying to get done.Gurley and the running game seemed to be the Rams greatest offensive strength heading into this homecoming season. The Georgia product romped to 1,106 yards and 10 touchdowns last year, impressing the entire NFL with his speed and tenacity. The 10th overall pick in the 2015 draft was the Offensive Rookie of the Year despite starting just 12 games, making up for it by averaging 4.8 yards per carry.But Gurleys production hit another trough last weekend when he got 48 yards on a season-low 12 carries against Carolina. He even watched the final drive from the sideline in favor of Benny Cunningham, the Rams favored back in two-minute drill situations.The struggles have prompted Gurley to go back to the elemental foundations of his position. While his coaches havent criticized his performance, Gurley clearly has been discussing the importance of patience when hitting holes or reading blockers.Even when the hole is not there, (whats important is) still being able to just read it the same, and dont try to do nothing outside of the play, Gurley said. Just making sure youre on the same track as everybody else, because once you start to predetermine stuff, thats when you know youre not on the same page as your linemen. You try to bounce it outside. You get holding calls. You just want to stay consistent.Gurley missed two practices this week with a thigh injury, but returned at full strength Friday. He plans to play in New York, and his body feels much better than it did last season, when he missed training camp while recovering from knee surgery.You just have to stay patient, stick to the plan, keep going out there and work hard, Gurley said. Just hope that things open up, and Im pretty sure they will.---For more NFL coverage: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Nat Moore Jersey .

PITTSBURGH -- Pittsburgh Steelers defensive coordinator Keith Butler only wishes he was brilliant enough to explain how a defense that struggled to get to the quarterback for two months seemed to have little trouble last Sunday in Cleveland.The same group that managed all of 13 sacks through nine games piled up eight in four dominant quarters against the inept Browns.And heres the thing, Butler figures the number should have been closer to a dozen. So what was it? Scheme? A return to the teams Blitzburgh roots? Savvy coaching? Butler wishes he could take the credit. He cant.If I knew that Id do it every week, Butler said Tuesday. We got after `em a little bit, but at the same time we executed better.Playing the NFLs worst team helped. Yet the Steelers (5-5) believe theres a little more to it. Butler moved defensive end Stephon Tuitt up and down the defensive line, rarely putting him in the same spot on consecutive snaps.Inside linebacker Ryan Shazier was given more freedom to get into the backfield -- sometimes lining up on the outside in search of a mismatch -- and Butler even allowed rookie safety Sean Davis to cause havoc.And Pittsburgh did it with its best defensive player back home dealing with a torn pectoral muscle that ended his season.Watching instead of playing will take some getting used to for Cam Heyward, though hes adjusting to the role of head cheerleader rather quickly.After watching Tuitt pick up 2+ sacks and rookie nose tackle Javon Hargrave belly flopping on a fumble for a touchdown, Heyward issued a well-intentioned dare heading into Thursday nights visit to Indianapolis (5-5), where journeyman quarterback Scott Tolzien appears ready to fill in for the injured Andrew Luck.I challenged them to do it again this week, Heyward said. Now youve seen what you can do, lets keep it going. Lets keep accomplishing goals.The Steelers may have caught a break with Luck unlikely to play while going through the leagues concussion protocol.If Luck sits, that means Tolzien will be the one playing behind an offensive line thats given up 35 sacks, the second-highest total in the NFL even with the mobile Luck under center.Weve had our issues in the past as far as sacks aand pressures and things like that, Colts coach Chuck Pagano said.ddddddddddddTheyve got a great unit and a great defense coming. We all saw what they did against the Browns and what theyre capable of.And thats kind of been the problem this season for the Steelers, who piled up 48 sacks during Butlers first year as coordinator in 2015, but have failed to create any consistent kind of havoc in the pocket so far in 2016.Initially Butler opted to play it safe while incorporating a slew of new faces into the lineup.Yet even when he started to mix it up in later weeks -- particularly during a four-game losing streak that took all the momentum out of Pittsburghs 4-1 start -- plays that were out there to be made were not.My thing with them is just do your job (and) stop trying to do someone elses job, Butler said. Thats usually what happens when you have a breakdown is you try to overcompensate for what you think is a weakness in the defense instead of just doing your job.The tape from Cleveland showed the message may finally be getting through.Its definitely a game we can build on, Shazier said. We understand we take care of our responsibilities then everything will be taken care of. Guys understand if we do our job, the plays coming our way are going to happen instead of trying to force something.Tolzien hasnt taken a meaningful snap since subbing for Aaron Rodgers in Green Bay in 2013. While Pagano stressed Tolzien knows the Indianapolis offense inside and out, he also hasnt been hit when it matters for three years.A little chaos may go a long way for the Steelers as they try to go on another second-half run similar to the ones that carried them to the postseason in 2014 and 2015.We know were capable of more, Davis said. Its just about staying aggressive and paying attention to details.Game notes WR Darrius Heyward-Bey (foot) and RB DeAngelo Williams (knee) are likely out. ... S Jordan Dangerfield (groin) and TE Xavier Grimble (quadriceps) were limited on Tuesday.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Cheap Jerseys China NFL Jerseys China NFL Jerseys Wholesale Discount Basketball Jerseys Cheap NHL Jerseys Authentic Cheap Baseball Jerseys Free Shipping Cheapest College Jerseys Sale Cheap Football Jerseys China Nike NFL Jerseys Canada Wholesale NHL Jerseys From China MLB Jerseys Outlet Canada Wholesale NBA Jerseys Canada Store Cheap Soccer Jerseys China Cheap Authentic Jerseys Canada ' ' '
