The Melvin Gordon Saga - Holdout Over

[DontEverGiveUp]

During MG's holdout, we were averaging 5.2 yards per carry.

Since MG ended his holdout, we are averaging 2.2 yards per carry.

Fuck Gordon, and fuck Lynn even more for continuing to force feed him the ball.

yep. bench Gordon. I've been saying it all over the board but that should be the message this week in Chargerland.

Um, you kept saying we needed him to report to make us better.

This is exact what’s happening.

Its clear to me that Gordon is playing like he doesn't want to get hurt. He's playing for a bigger contract. Fair enough. I'd let Justin Jackson get some touches..in his limited time he appears to hit the holes harder and I think actually has better vision. Not to mention seems to be harder to tackle. I sware Gordon gets tripped up easier then any other so called "top" running back in the league

He had 100 yards yesterday?

He had 100 yards yesterday?

Yes. Against a mediocre run defense. And I think a better running back would have broken some of those tackles for extra yardage. Meaning we probably could have rushed for well over 100 which could have changed the complexion of the game. Was Gordon the reason we lost? Not remotely. However he is not elite or not playing at an elite level. The season is over. Give Jackson some playing time at this point and see what they've got with him.

By comparison Ekeler averaged 1.8 yard per carry to Gordon’s 5

There was one play in particular yesterday that pissed me off where all Gordon had to do was fall forward or cut it up field and instead went out of bounds a half yard short of the first down. Next play we lost five yards and had to punt. It was obvious what he was doing.

Its been obvious. Playing not to get hurt, either that or he's not that good.

Ekeler is being used wrong. The oline stinks but Gordon is supposed to be the workhorse back.
