"Hey Mike Martz, Give Frank Gore the Ball!"

The Eagles were the only NFC East team to do well last week. But a lot of this was because the Niners just collapsed in the fourth quarter. And they collapsed because Frank Gore didn't get the ball enough.

Mike Martz has brought an exciting offense to the 49ers. But he's putting too much pressure on JT O'Sullivan, and not enough on Frank.

Look at Frank's fantasy stats. He's the number three back in the league. He's a bull who gets every yard possible. He's the kind of guy that guys love to block for, and the kind of guy that makes everyone around him better.

I've been mentoring him a little this year, and he is keeping himself in great shape. This is important, because as the season grinds on, running backs start to get dinged up.

But Frank is fine. He needs the ball on a consistent basis in every quarter of the game. He can run and he can catch passes.

Hey Mike Martz, give Frank Gore the ball! Every quarter! All of my fantasy buddies who picked him will love you for this!
