Going forward, I would like to believe in Zeke

[CowboyRoy]

you better hope he stays healthy.
we need a run game.
period.
and they ain't gettin' rid of zeke...not now...not next year.
ain't happnin'.

Ill bet anything you want that Zeke is gone next year. The best thing for our run game would be for Zeke to get hurt.

 

[Hagman]

you didn’t say give all backs 25 Carrie’s. You said just zeke. Lol

henry doesn’t get 25 a game.

Tennessee rides him into the ground. Until he got hurt last year he got more than 25 carries each game except for one.

Difference is that Dak loves Zeke. Sadly.

Yeah they are best friends but I am more talking about the fan base homerism towards a player. There are probably guys ON THIS THREAD who have 3 or 4 Zeke jersey's. They aren't going to handle the divorce well and will be bitter for a long time. Even Dak knows it is a business.

If Dak wants any chance of a title, he has to get rid of Zeke and his hold on the offense.

i don't think pollard could carry the load.
he is more explosive for sure...and deserves more touches.
but i don't think he's a bell cow.
personally...i'd love to see them draft a back and move on from zeke...but this front office shows 0 interest in that.
not based on the things they say.
he'll restructure before he gets released.
hopefully he stays healthy.
we need him.

Going forward, I would like a billion dollars and a hot wife.

If you get the billion dollars, the hot wife will follow automatically.

He shouldn't be anywhere close to making that call. Maybe he has more pull than he should and/or the coaches and owners are dumber than we think. It's really baffling. You got me on the Zeke love. I still think Jerry's heart is pounding out of his chest after Zeke's kettle jump. I've never seen ownership fawn over a player like Zeke after his rookie year. It's kind of ridiculous.

Bell cows are a thing of the past.

I would like to rephrase. Because Jerry is too stupid to understand the importance of the 3rd RB and we have a scrub it would be in the best interest of the team for Zeke to miss 4 or 5 games with injury. Injured to where he had to sit out. This way Pollard could get his shine and show these morons in the front office how dynamic it can be with Pollard in there.

Then Zeke comes back and with a clue Moore does more of a split going forward or hot hand.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

12 rushes, 31 yards in a home playoff game.

That’s what we’re paying for.

Oh way to cherry pick ONE game ....with the whole team being dysfunctional from top down.

But all Zeke's fault. How DARE he play half the season injured and try to help the inept o-line block.

We are paying him to keep Dak alive.

You do know cowboy roy is a JACKAX zeke hater.

If you like Dak then thank Zeke. Without his 2016 performance and continued blocking and toughness...there's no Dak. FACT.

You think Pollard can keep Dak safe? LOL...precious cutie. I mean really VERY cute.

You and roy get a room sheesh.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

100% correct....

Says you? I guess we need to listen to YOUR stupidity and not what Emmitt Smith says.

An oline that can;t block. An OC who runs three delay handoffs up the middle then claims the running game doesn't work. A head coach who said "hands off". A team who can't prepare enough to rest it's injured #1 RB for a few games.

BUT YOU....well you know everything...and it's zeke that sucks.

GOOD GOD cowboys fans are stupid.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

So he was injured but still insisted on getting 18 carries the week before? In a meaningless game? Just so he could reach 1,000 yards?

Selfish AND anemic.

Don’t blame the OL just because Pollard’s clearly the better runner. The OL wasn’t terrible vs SF but our RB sure was.

So YOU think Zeke gets to decide to play or not? Our coaches don't coach? Coaches tell the players to play or sit. Stop the stupid blame Zeke Bsht.

Our Oline sucks. Biadez gets pushed into Dak before he can even had the ball off.

Pollard runs different plays than zeke,. In space...tony is a better runner that is why they design different plays for him. He excels at that and he is SUPPOSED TO! They dont; run Tony up the middle three straight plays.

You guys act like football experts by calling zeke's demise...yet...you cant see the simplest of observations. We have a GREAT RB tandem ...and all you can do is argue Pollard is better? HOW? HE's never been a starter...why do you think THAT is?

Fix the o line. Commit to an NFC East run game. Design Pollard's plays NOT just when Zeke raises his hand. Watch both of them blow it up.

And cut this BSHP Tony is better. They are BOTH exactly what we need to win.

LOL one game? Zeke was trash the entire 2nd half of the season.

Fewer than 4 YPC in 8 of his last 10 games.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

Your talking to a guy that still thinks zeke is a top 3 back. Don’t waste your time.

And you are a zeke hater and have been for a long time.

You guys....You need to know this Roy guy.....claimed Zeke was only the league leader because of number of carries.

When I showed him the number of carries Emmitt Smith had....this guy blocked me.

So if you hate Zeke...fine. But don't follow Roy and this kind of poison.

Yes, Zeke absolutely has a say in whether he plays or not. You’re incredibly naive if you think otherwise.

“Hey coach, I’m not 100% and I’d rather get right for the playoffs than chase 1,000 yards this week.”

Tell me you believe the coaches would’ve argued with him on that.


Zeke wanted to play so he could chase 1,000 yards. Period.

Incredibly selfish of him.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

Injured. Cowboys asked him to play through it...he did.

But to you he's "trash? You are pathetic.

So you think the coaches don't tell the players what to do? Okay fine. You think our coaches are pathetic little beeches.

But it's all zeke's fault.

They asked him to play injured HALF the SEASON. But this ONE game you object to? PLEASE beech....stop.

 

[Nav22]

You’re getting emotional. That’s very telling.


Why did he get 18 carries in a meaningless Week 18 game if he was injured? For one reason and one reason only: 1,000 yards.

He was either healthy and SUCKED or he was injured and SELFISH. Pick your poison.

Why did the team ask him to play all those other games?
