against the run, through 4 games, the packers' defense ranks:

30th in yards per carry allowed
30th in runs stopped for a yard or less
27th in runs allowed of 10 yards or more

also, the gang at pff ranks the packers'' oline 30th in run blocking through 4 games...

It would be sweet for Gurley to have a monster day. And Rogers a day he wants to forget. I think thats what we will be watching in about 12 hours from now. In 16 hours there will be Ram fans dancing in the streets. And in 5 games from now the Rams will be 8 - 2 maybe 7 - 3. GO RAMS

Gosh, I'd love to see Gurley blast Blondie into the endzone like Bo did to Boz.
A 200 yard game would be awesome, too.

BUT, going back to the stats/rankings above, I think there's a problem with GB's yards per carry and long run stats being inflated right now because of runs by QBs.
GB has defended 95 runs, 30 by QBs:
Cutler 4 rushes, 31 yards
Wussell Wilson 10 / 78
Alex Smith 6 / 33
Kraep 10 / 57

That's 30 for 199 yds for over 6.6 per carry.

GB's rush defense is giving up 4.8 yards per carry. This falls to 4.0 ypc when the 30 QB runs are removed -- no, not brick-wall-like, but not exactly sieve-like either.

Sure, Gurley could have a massive game. But, if it happens, I don't think it will be because GB's rush defense is bad or not, I think it'll be because Gurley's a stud (and the O-line has turned the corner).
