I thought you guys said Zeke lost a step

[clff15701]

Doesn’t look like he’s lost a step to me. He just needs touches to get going.

The haters did....

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

These people say a lot of things but never admit when they are wrong.

Great post OP. Zeke's playing very, very well. Go Cowboys

 

[1972COWBOY]

A little motivation from Pollard goes a long way.

 

[jazzcat22]

I said he did not lose a step, and I am here to remind those against Zeke that I am correct.

 

[HungryLion]

I have been critical of zeke’s contract.

But man he looks great this season.

so props to him for putting in the work training this off season.

I still think young Zeke takes that 47 yarder to the house. He has his quickness, but that extra burst he used to have doesn't seem to be there. If you go back to his rookie season, he could take and turn the corner at will.

 

[MoistMayonnaise]

I hope he gets his third rushing title this year.

Zeke historically takes 2-3 games to warm up

has he lost speed? Yes, does it matter? no not really you dont need much speed to be effective at RB see the hole and chugga chug your way through and he does his vision is great!

Young zeke was worth 90 million , got paid Rookie money.

This zeke is great , but he is no young zeke .

Well, he was in a foot race to the end zone again (finally) and was clocked at 20.66 MPH. As a rookie he was clocked at 21.8 MPH. No excuse today for not getting to “top speed” with the room he had. Sorry, 2016 Zeke scores 6 on that play. That is “losing a step”.

He did lose a step. Then he decided to care and got it back.

We are all happy about that, but those who pointed it out at the time weren't wrong.

He may have lost a step, but he found his billy club.

Amazing how much better a back can look when he isnt fat and out of shape. And when the Oline is healthy and blowing up the Dline. As far as getting touches, Zeke was on point from the start. As was Pollard.

You get the more touches if you are running like is running now. When you average 2.7 ypc in the first quarter and fumble the ball its a different ball game.

I told everyone he always starts slow but by week 3, he’s a different animal (except last year where he was just simply out of shape; probably thought covid would cancel the season)

What kind of nonsense is that? What kind of back takes 2 or 3 games to warm up? An out of shape one?

helps not to get hit 3 times before you get to the LOS.
he may have lost a little but golly moses that dude continues to move piles & get yards that most other backs just don't. surely everyone can agree on that.

he did until he got his butt in shape

He did lose a step.
But the clamor for Pollard made Zeke think really hard and he must have decided to awaken from his sleepwalking and actually compete for his job.
