Twitter: Jerry want to make sure they give Zeke the load

[Hawkeye0202]

It appears he wants Zeke wearing defenses out with his physically, which suggests they don't worry that much about his yards.

Horrible. Zeke needs ball less not more. Delusional

 

[Risen Star]

It's his way of pretending it's not a bad contract.

Jerry wants Zeke to carry the load to avoid any type of QB controversy should Cooper lead Dallas to more wins while Dak is on the sideline. Should Cooper perform well then Jerry has egg on his face for the $160M investment in Dak.

 

[MarcusRock]

Zeke already has a load ..... of cash.



Hey-oh!

Yeah. I am sure the fact he gave Zeke 90 million guaranteed and the biggest RB contract in the league has nothing to do with it.....

I don't really care what Jerry wants.

Zeke can get his 10ish carries and then spend the rest of the time blocking and sucking air on the sidelines.

" Says he wants to make sure they give Zeke the load" .........,.direct order or coaches decides. This is what I mean coaches sometimes have no choice but to play with the hand dealt.

Amazing that after a great team win Jerry comes in and says this.

I dont care who carries it, who throws it, who blocks, etc. I just want wins. Or. Tank for a top pick. Take your pick Jerry. You created this mess.

Zeke is currently on pace for under 800 yards rushing....

You still feeling confident in that bet? lol

Zeke has an $11.86M dead cap hit after this season with a 2023 cap hit of $16.72M so Dallas saves about $5M by trading/releasing Zeke after this season or, if designated a post June 1st cap hit, Dallas saves almost $10M in 2023 and nearly $8M in 2024.

By way of comparison, Dak has $89M in dead cap money in 2023 and $39.9M in dead cap money in 2024 with a $49M cap hit in 2023 and a $52M cap hit in 2024......

....so which contract looks worse if the respective player doesn't perform?????

This make all kinds of sense, forget about trying to take advantage of pollards skill set,let's just run it up the middle with Zeke and hope for the best then wonder why we're 3rd and long every drive..let's see how that works,and btw,I like Zeke,but his days of being the feature back are long gone,imo

 

[jwooten15]

Purely a salary-driven decision. Jerry is too prideful to admit how terrible that signing was and he will not stand to have Zeke be a backup or blocking specialist.

And people wonder why the Cowboys aren’t relevant when it comes to winning.

It's just unreal how he continues to emasculate the head coach and doesn't at all care.

Basically he wants to be the head coach, and should just do it already.

Not at all. Doesnt help that Dak got hurt though. I dont mind losing a bet like that though. It is what it is. Also. Its not over yet haha

You are trying to turn a Zeke thread into a Dak thread. Just stop.

Jerry wants his money on the field. Hence his comments about ZEKE! Not Dak.

God bless free speech.....and do you for one second think that Jerry Jones is not worried about looking badly for the Dak & Zeke signings? He wants to prove that his signings were not bad ones in spite of statistical evidence.

 

[Ranching]

He's right, pound them with Zeke and then sprinkle in Pollard....good combination

Could it be that Zeke's blocking might keep our qbs from getting killed. Come on now.

Oh for chrissakes Jerry.
