Sean McVay takes responsibility for getting Todd Gurley involved more

This is exactly why players must love playing for Sean McVay.

Todd Gurley only had four carries in the NFC Championship Game last weekend. He was essentially benched in favor of CJ Anderson due to poor play, which included a drop that resulted in an interception.

Although Gurley’s poor play is the reason he didn’t see more action, McVay took responsibility this week, saying it’s on the coach to get Gurley involved more for the Super Bowl.

Sean McVay just now on Todd Gurley, who had four carries in the NFCCG: "I have to do a better job of getting him involved and getting him into the flow of the game."

Gurley will probably be first up getting cracks at the New England Patriots’ defense next weekend. It will be on him to see how he performs. If he does well, the time split with Anderson will probably be much more balanced.

McVay putting things on himself rather than blame his player is the sign of true leadership and probably makes his players love him more.
