Melvin Gordon up the middle

Melvin Gordon with the run up the middle. Melvin Gordon with the run up the middle. Melvin Gordon with the run up the middle.

Expect to hear that over and over again until we finally figure out that the run up the middle is not working at all. Frank Reich said that he wants to run the football more with Melvin Gordon to keep a balance on offense. Too bad he has only one running play in his playbook and it is to run his back right up the backs of his offensive linemen.

I like Melvin Gordon and think he can be a successful back in the league. I think he has some special skills that you cannot teach, but we are limiting his success. We need to let the kid get some runs off tackle at some points…
