Thought he was going to say "Some of us like him, some of us don't, and some of us haven't formed an opinion yet"
Which would have been a truthful answer.
Lie detectors are worthless, that wouldn’t do any good.So now it's a lying Zeke because he made a generalized positive statement about the players loving McCarthy? It's just what he believed, it's his impression!
I guess Zeke should have conducted a third party objective poll and also made sure he had notarized statements from all 80 players before making such an imprecise statement to the media.
Ok I know I am laying it on too thick. Forget what I have just stated. Zeke should have just been hooked up to a lie detector operated by a former FBI technician with at least 10 years experience.
Players have genuinely seemed happier in their interviews this week on the site. Maybe it’s getting out the cabin fever idk, I tend to think they feel a breath of fresh air with MM
I think after playing for the same guy for several years and not achieving much playoff success, players would be looking forward to a change, especially to a coach who has won a Super Bowl.
you're not wrong however they also need to understand their role in such past failures IMO. Garrett was a nimrod as was Marinelli (the game had past him by) But when opportunities were there to make a play the players failed as well as the coaches. Don't take that as a Garrett defense I think he was a failure and was kept far too long.
Would have liked a better answer on why he had fewer 20-plus-yard runs. If he had even just said that those type runs are dependent upon a lot of factors, it would have been better than "I don't know." That just shows that he hasn't gone back and examined it.
how about dont dictate answer, he could have been being PC not living in the past like some of you, he could have blamed the OL, , TE, and FB for lack of consistent blocking and the coaching staff including KM who is still here for letting the defense know on first down we coming straight ahead 80% of the time..
this was not zekes fault, i watched ton of the film breakdowns available and it was a lot more reasons then EE.. he led the league in 10lus yard runs, yards after contact in a lot of situations etc etc he was far off in RB scoring an d4th overall in yards not 30yards from CM..he doesnt have to explain anything to us..
better to look ahead not back..
did Dak come on for an hour and explain all his faults play by play in most of the last 5 of 6 games? go back and check out that 2nd half of the Philly game and break himself down, nah not in detail..lots of blame to go around for 8-8 time to move forward, new staff new players new hope..
