He had some Pro-Bowlers on his line too.
Im with you on this subject.
He had some Pro-Bowlers on his line too.
Get some leads in games and Zeke will shine as long as he doesn’t fumble..
If we’re constantly down 3 scores he has no chance.
His funk is he was always over rated because the O line. Unfortunately Jerry never realized it and most people here didn’t either.Zeke is in a funk right now. I don’t think he’s fell off I think he’s the same back. I think what we need to dial back is what type of back he was to begin with.
Our chance to get leads in games went down the toilet when Dak went down.
Dak gave the ball away early in games too. But he was the reason the Cowboys had a chance at the end. Zeke makes very little positive impact in this offense.
There's no disputing that first part.I was with him until he said Barry Sanders had a bad O-line. That line was nowhere near as bad as people made it out to be.

Sanders OL was not exactly great, or even good, either.

That line wasn’t as bad as this one. Plus Barkley ain’t no Barry.Surprised he didn’t mention Barkley who broke several records his rookie year behind one of the worst O lines in the league.
I agree somewhat but how many of those plays were because of Zeke though? I just never looked at him like a guy who can run away from the defense. I haven’t seen it in 4 years.....maybe his rookie season was the anomaly and not the bad.....I disagree, his explosive plays have dropped off precipitously, and that's well documented. He's not the same back that this team drafted in 2016.
he is taking a beating in pass protection because the line is crap. he takes a beating when they hand him the ball because the line is crap. he takes a beating when they throw it to him in the flat because the line is crap (defense isn't threatened anywhere else).Zeke is in a funk right now.

i get where you are coming from but where i have issue with these twoIt seems that all the contracts outside of Jaylons were a needs basis at the time. What I mean by that is we HAD to have those players at that particular time as we had no other options. I’m not sure I blame them really.
When Dlaw’s contract came due he was coming off a monster year and we had NO other pass rushers.
When Zeke held out JG was trying to save his job and he knew he needed him badly to play his type of football.
And last season we signed Coop. We had NO idea CeeDee would land in our laps and had to have him as we only had Gallup.
It’s all unfortunate timing really.
