    Ekeler is being used right. Guy is arguably our #1 scoring weapon right now. Least of our worries.

    Gordon is a good NFL back, and we should pay him accordingly. Will be tough since he thinks he is elite.

    We know what we have with Jackson. Kid is dinged up.

    Use Gordon a lot until the season is over. Then let him walk.

      I suspect Gordon will find the market for veteran RBs with his production to be well below his expectations.

        Dinged up? with the 3 carries he's had this season?

          Then maybe our running plays just suck

            For the most part I think they have done a good job using Ekeler. However, running him off tackle when the Broncos D had9 men in the box on 3rd and short is not using him right.

                Yeah, using your smallest RB in a situation where you need your biggest back makes zero sense.

                Now that Gordon is back, Jackson isn't being used at all even though he is now healthy.

                  Check the weekly injury reports.

                  Not to mention he was heavily used at NW and an injury liability (imo) to begin with.

                    Like "ours"? What is that?

                    Zone? Sweep? Iso? Blast? Draw?

                    Maybe, our O-line sucks?

                    But by all means, it could be "our running plays", whatever that is?

                    Good to see you around btw biggest

                      Did you notice the Donks matched personnel and were heavier vs pass than run? I did.

                      Good idea personnel wise, but the Donks stunted right into our zone.

                        Melvin is a solid back, certainly nothing elite about him though.
                        TT overpaid for him in the first place. No way he does it again. Too many other holes( read: the trenches) to fill.
