We all know Romo and Witten were tight, many believed that's why Romo kept feeding Witt...
Dak and Zeke are best friends, I was thinking maybe Dak is feeding Zeke, calling audibles that put Zeke in good situations....
I could be totally wrong, but if he is doing that, he's doing a great job!!!! Great to see Zeke having a good year!
Just food for thought, Go Cowboys!!!

He's doing what's best for the offense. Or what any good Qb would do. Bestfriend or not

Cool , tell Dak to keep it up, since you obviously talk to him.....or are you just guessing, like I am?
Cute. I'm assuming since he's a good qb he's making the right audibles at the line and putting the HB, Zeke or Pollard in the best position. Even going away from runs if it doesn't look right.

I love what we're seeing Zeke do this year but real concerned that it might get him hurt before he has a chance to have an impact in a deep playoff run. I think we'd be wize to utilize Pollard liberally, also, to ensure Zeke's health later on. They're both top notch, in their own way. Power and speed -- whoa! ;)

I'm sure he is calling audibles that give Zeke some good opportunities, but whether it has anything to do with their relationship, or just based on how he reads the defense can't really be known. Regardless, the decisions are looking very good.

I don't think so. I think that it has more to do with what Kelllen sees as the best way to exploit the opposing defense in terms of the plays that he sends in. Yesterday early on the strategy was to run on them and wear them down. It helps to have a line that's blocking great and that Zeke came into the season in tremendous shape.

They don't seem more reluctant to hand it off when Pollard is in the game.

I think you are totally wrong. most times there are two plays called, a run play and a pass play and depending on defensive alignment the QB may choose one over the other and perhaps even change some routes on the line, depending on what he sees and what the WR and QB see.....I don't think Dak is feeding zeke for the sake of feeding zeke. this year's team has just been very unselfish.

Exactly right -- they comprise a wicked combination, for sure! Other teams will be obliged to deal with it, much to their chagrin! ;)

We do have a devastating level of offensive capabilities that should test the best defenses around. Here's hoping it continues!! o_O

Zeke is producing the steady power bursts, while Pollard is contributing some lengthy runs into far deeper journeys! It's awesome!

That double fake throw-back to Zeke for a TD was a brilliant call. Loved the PrimeTime step into the endzone lol…. LMAO

Maybe my favorite Zeke TD of his career. The screen in Pittsburgh was beautiful to watch, and the “split the safeties” house call vs Cinci was gorgeous, but I really loved how effortless, efficient, and easy Moore, Dak, and Zeke owned their rivals on that play lol

Friends help each other out onand off the field...I'm not saying he's making stupid calls, he's putting Zeke in position to succeed, which is good for the team.

if that is the case, he should be cut immediately. No QB should ever, under any circumstances, change plays or do anything outside the game plan to benefit a "friend". While it might work now it is undermining the coaches and can not be tolerated, not even a little.

To be clear, I do not think it happens like that at all by any team or QB. I didn't believe it with Romo and sure don't believe it with Dak.

I don't think that at all, it sounds like some sort of conspiracy. What I think is so far this team is working like a well oiled Swiss watch!

really what happened to the 22 audibles in the Tampa game that were run that turned into like 12-14 extra passes..:))

not because they are friends, more like Dak has finally getting comfortable with reads and making the correct checks and audibles to get the entire offense into the correct play..pollards eating as well..
