Is the Falcon run offense that bad or has Todd Gurley lost a full step?

The Falcons rushed 31 times for just over 100 yards against Dallas: A paltry 3.3 yards per carry. This on the surface could just be Falcons (and Koetter) being Falcons but as I watch him in my subjective viewpoint, he doesn't SEEM explosive anymore. In game one he had 6 yards on his first carry, Fine but on the second he had 20 yards. Again, on the surface 20 yards looks good but just a year or two ago that run would have been 40-50...or a touchdown.

I want to attribute this to an early season, Koetter, the offensive line or anything other than Gurley being a step slow now. How many passes has he caught? Two? Isn't that a small number, one per game; particularly in light of the touches he would supposedly get, putting him out in space against linebackers?( or so we were told months ago) Could there be hidden reasons behind this? Did the Rams know something?

Lets see Gurley get a few receptions and then this theory (hopefully) will be moot but remember how they kept telling us that Devonta Freeman was 100% and we see how that worked out.
