Twitter: Zeke: Those that want more Pollard aren't the ones signing the checks

glimmerman said:
I know Elliot wants to be the guy. And if JJ said put Pollard in more then Elliot would be fine with it. Elliot gets the same check no matter the carries. It does let you know he reads some of the fans comments.

I'm pretty sure @zeke21 is Ezekiel Elliott

I've heard him say all those "correct" responses multiple times and it hasn't changed the narrative one iota. He might have just gotten tired of answering the same stupid questions?

Could be but as we all know it just take one to stir the pot. Like people have mentioned, there is not much to see here but i can see both sides of the argument. I'm just saying that Zeke probably should not have put himself into a position where people can misinterpret his statement.
 
How does he get off being so cocky? We’re fans of the team we don’t care how much you make zeke.

I just don't think he cares at this point.. and he is correct in not caring.. He's out there doing everything in his power to help his team win. When that stops I'll get mad at him.. Until then.. I want him in the line up.. and I want him getting the ball..

LMAO.. you apparently have managed to miss the 10 thousand posts about his contract since it was signed. YOU may not care how much he makes but there are plenty of people who seem to have nightmares about it and post about it here dozens of times a day.
 
Anyway, it is a long season. Dallas will need the one two punch of Zeke and Pollard

. Anybody else notice that Dallas, after many years, is executing on screen passes?
 
Don't care. He played hard on Sunday. Play hard again on Monday and let the Twitter world work it out amongst themselves.

Actually I don't think they've run any screens yet this year have they?

My brain hurts.
 
We are talking about playing time right, not being released?

What does that have to do with signing checks?

THATS the problem here. Jerry is the boss and he that's how he wants it. The coach has zero authority in the players minds and Jerry eats it up so much he refuses to see how that's a problem.

Has no regard at all for how that hurts the HCs ability to command the room.

"I'll do anything to win," except realize the obvious....and use that mouth of his to tell the organization that McCarthy is in charge.

No shot ego boy ever considers that.

Since when has winning actually quieted people down. People who hated Zeke when he was drafted never stopped hating him.. They just had to lay in wait and sit quiet until he stopped leading the league in rushing.. But they never changed their stance.. .

Perhaps they didn't hate Zeke, they hated the idea of drafting a RB #4 overall? I'm never going to change my opinion that drafting Zeke and Smith in rounds 1 & 2 were better than drafting Ramsey & Henry instead. That is a philosophical disagreement on draft strategy. That said, if we were going to use a top 5 pick on a RB, then the performance needs to warrant that draft spot. And Zeke's performance on the field shut people up, including myself. It was crying over spilled milk at that point. You even admitted my point by saying "they lay in wait and sit quiet". Yes, that is what happens. You perform and you shut critics up. Under-performing expectations has a tendency to draw criticism. Surely that isn't some big revelation.

What I don't understand is when people complain when players outperform expectations, like in Dak's first 4 years. That makes no sense to me.

If Elliot gets 1000-1200 yards this year then he earned his money. Along with his catches and blocking.

He didn't say anything about making money.. He also said "What matters is what goes on in this building.." I'm pretty sure his coaches and teammates all work in the building so they're included WITH the guy who signs the checks.. Basically he dismissed all the people who are not part of the Cowboys .... He's 100% correct.
