Yeah, yeah, he doesn’t get those big runs anymore but his pass protection is a major aspect of his game that other RBs can’t match.

 

[Gaede]

Unreal. Who ran him over?

 

[JMPearson]

WOrse contract in years

Looked like Cole Holcomb, who was a walk on at UNC.

 

[Aviano90]

He got destroyed there.

 

[jwooten15]

He’s becoming such a liability, in many areas.

You watch RBs around the league, and it becomes even more obvious how slow Zeke is. He has zero burst and even worse, is now turnover prone.

Add that to his hands made of stone and getting absolutely blown up in pass protection... what are we paying him for?

Thats a 240 pound linebacker running untouched for 10 yards with a full head of steam, most RBs are going to lose in that situation.

 

[TwoCentPlain]

His blocking has been poor all year.

Correct, but don't try to bring common sense into a Cal Poly thread.

 

[JayFord]

Zeke is good in pass protection

Thats just a good play by the Linebacker

Awww here come the excuses.......

He’s just a guy cashing checks. Imagine on a team with Jaylon Smith, there is actually a guy with a worse contract.

Elliott is just a decent TB at this point. Anyone still trying to convince themselves he’s an elite back, LOL.

 

[fivetwos]

As much crap as I take around here, I'm starting to enjoy being right.

 

[Aviano90]

He still is a good blocker, but people had to label him the best blocking RB, which he is not.

Crawford pulled in a nice 500k today

Looked like he tried taking him head on.....not good... should go low from thighs down....Emmitt used to do that alot. especially someone coming at you full speed..

Zeke got trucked by being totally passive. He just stood there waiting for the blow.

Zeke is 230 and has leverage. He got steamrolled because he didn't attack back, he just waited to get pounded.

Like many of our players, his head isn't in the game.

Zeke didn't try to do anything. Just stood there waiting. Much like the LBs.

If you stand there waiting to get trucked, you get trucked.

I don't think Zeke is cashing checks. I think the game has gotten into his head. No confidence. Tentative. Confused.

Check cashers are on the defense, IMO.
