Zeke needs to wake up and earn his money

[blueblood70]

I saw him miss at least one block as well.

awee one block man, trade the guy,..dude give it up..go hide..I saw OL miss about 10 blocks, pollard 2 that rush fumble was on pollard and the OL..total whiff, lamb dropped an easy pass, diggs got a few penalties and didn't play great..fire them all because they werent perfect.,

you use every excuse in the world when dak makes mistakes every game and someone mentions its and reply NO ONES PERFECT

now you are ripping zeke...lmao hypocrite..

you are mad because dak didn't play and rush won game..

Ohhh, cut him, today! He missed a block out of about 10 or so more.

Like I said, had Dak been playing and won the game like Cooper just did, you would be here saying how great Zeke did blocking for you lover boy. Your elevator still don't reach the top.

Zeke needs to wake up and earn his money. He had that great play late in the 4th quarter to get down there close enough for the Coop to Coop TD but he was absent the entire game before that. The defense was balling out giving 100% the entire game and I didn’t see that from Zeke. The offense was giving 100% the entire game except for Zeke. Someone needs to put some smelling salts under his nose or give him a blanket party late one night on the road to wake his *** up. If we can get Zeke to play all out, then the limit is the Super Bowl.

Totally disagree with this

Any DC going into a game without Dak and a backup, that does not play 8 to 9 front to stop the run and make the backup who has not thrown 5 passes in his tenure in the league beat us, he would and should be looking for work after that game. That is not rocket science.

He was a ghost the rest of the game. Did you see how the defense and the rest of the team balled out? Zeke finally did on that one play but the rest of the game he was a non-factor.

I believe someone explained to you that Minnesota was stacking the box; what part of that do you not understand.

He just likes to be miserable. If not Zeke, it would be something else.

They only stacked the box on 17% of the rushing plays.

Neither Zeke or Pollard was able to get much going on the ground last night but when the game was on the line Zeke came through setting up the winning score. That was an outstanding play by him.

 

[Rockport]

well its simple, you have Rush as the QB, who are you going to focus on? specially knowing the cowboys running game has been good all year...so they focused on taking out the RBs and force Cooper Rush to beat them.... Tampa did the same thing.....stopped the running game (although they did it with front 5, 6)....Minn. sold on trying to stop the run. I think getting 75 yards in running game was as good as it was going to get...their plan almost worked. .....

updated:
Xavier Woods says Minnesota Vikings were preparing for Dak Prescott to start at QB for Dallas Cowboys, not Cooper Rush (espn.com)

" Coach Mike Zimmer said Minnesota had "a lot of film" on Rush and told ESPN's Ed Werder that the Vikings would change their defensive strategy in the event Dallas started its No. 2 quarterback. In that scenario, Zimmer said his team would force Rush to beat them by taking away the run game by loading the box."

Thanks for posting that article but you left out the fact where it stated that the Vikings ended up only stacking the box on only 17% of the run plays.

Actially i think that was one of his greatest games.
Go Zeke, so proud of you young man. You’re a complete RB and team player. Coop owes you a steak dinner.

Dude you can't be serious.. After Zeke's first run of the game on which he gained 8 yards this is what it looked like on his second carry.



Go ahead and count the bodies at the line of scrimmage at the snap here..

 

[shabazz]

Odd. Our resident Pollyanna usually berates anybody that has a critique or criticism about the Cowboys

Hmmmm.....must be about Mr Rush gettin that 325 and 2 Touchdowns.

Why take it out on Zeke though?

It may have looked like it was a traditional stacked box on only 17% of the plays, but it sure looked like the defensive keys were to shut down the outside run first. I think the Vikings felt their interior was way better than Biadasz and Connero Williams.

Also from the looks I saw on the TV screen their gapping was way closer at the snap than what one would normally see from their outside LBs.

If it wasn't a stacked box in the traditional sense, it was certainly a compressed box with keys to the run first, and pass second.

I think it was part of a strategy by Zimmer to force Rush to win the game.

LOL, looks like 10 there my man. Eyes not like it was when younger could be 9 but will go with my first guess.

Here is Zeke's third carry after we are backed up..

Get back to me with your count of defenders at the line of scrimmage here.

All you do is look for things to complain about. You complain about fans being negative but here you are after one of the most satisfying wins we’ve had all season being negative. Neither Zeke or Pollard got much going in the running game last night but when the game was on the line Zeke made one of the plays of the game setting up our winning TD. Fans are passing out kudos to players and you’re criticizing Zeke who helped us win the game. Instead of complaining try being happy for once and enjoy the win.

So you are going carry on with your cry baby ways when Dallas is starting to jell as a team on both sides of the ball.
