He has added some mass, simply to be able to withstand the amount of miles this team is going to put on him. How many times have we seen zeke just bull people over. It’s a style of running and a small frame wouldn’t work. You aren’t gonna juke you’re way to the end zone every time in the NFL. You’re gonna have to run someone over once in a while. If the team decides they want zeke to cut some weight and be that guy again I’m sure his carries would be managed a lot more. We would maybe see more screens and different type of run plays. Until then it’s pound the rock between the tackles and take what they give us. We also don’t play with the lead very much so of course we don’t effectively run the ball as well as some other teams right now. Let’s just chill on the let’s cut zeke he is done stuff....geez

In other words, we got ourselves a fullback now. The second coming of Daryl Johnston. Well fullbacks are not needed much anymore, and certainly not paid what Zeke is getting paid now. Maybe thats why some fans are pissed at Zeke now. He was a tailback his first two or three years and now he is not. Need more explosiveness and game breaking plays from him, not the three yards and a cloud of dust.

The whole entire team in a shambles...most especially the o-line.

And by god we all better be mad at zeke..

Zeke has no elite speed, it shows every time Pollards is on the field. The fact that he takes himself out of the game after a few runs should be concerning.
Still with this garbage? Does anybody watch football other than the Cowboys?

He's been first or second in offensive snap % every year he's been in the league.

The problem with Zek is that dam nose ring he wears. Instead of running wild he's being lead around by that dam ring like he's a bull in a small pen. He needs a major makeover, start with the nose ring then head to a barbershop and cut off all that excess hair. If you look the part then maybe he'll play the part.

Imagine being a grown man and then saying this about another grown man.

It's some Real Housewives stuff.

He's not the player he was coming out of Ohio State. He has 1 run over 40 yards since his rookie year. One.

He's a $15M a year grinder now. He's still good, but not great. I believe his off the field lifestyle has shortened his career.

If we have a fully healthy o-line next year ( a big if), he will look better than he has this year. But he is no longer an elite back

I have no problem with his coming out periodically, he runs hard every single play, gets bashed nearly every play. Some of that is due to the fact that he likes contact, but most of it is due to the fact that teams target stopping him before anything else.

Taking a rest now and then and being fresher for the whole game is a good thing...

I think about this anytime I'm watching another team play. It's comical to suggest he needs to meet all of these unrealistic standards. The same fans bashing Elliott are the same ones suggesting Pollard should get more snaps.

I don't like people making stuff up. Go ahead and critique Zeke's play. Fine.

But grown men whining about how he looks and acting like it has something to do with how he plays (lol) and just totally making things up is stupid and annoying. There's like 50 posters on this board who are all exactly the same - Zeke/DLaw/Dak/Jaylon don't fit the mold of the player they are looking for, which is generally unrealistic, so they just totally make things up and/or create standards that no player could possibly meet.
