Nah.. I think the Eagles are going to commit heavily to stopping the run and that's going to make it hard for Zeke to get untracked. They've really only stopped him when the QB has been somebody like Nooch or Dalton. I think Rush fits in there between those two somewhere. The good thing is that with Rush at the helm Moore has mostly kept running the ball anyway even if it wasn't eating up large chunks of real estate. But I worry that if we get down a whole touchdown the flood gates will open and Moore will have Rush slingin it 50 times.

It’s already over for Zeke. He hasn’t rushed for more than 78 yards in any of our games this season and it took 22 carries to get those 78 yards. He’s not likely to have another game this season where he gets that many carries. The only way he has a big game against Philly is if he were to break off a long run. He’s going to continue to split carries with Pollard. He’s on pace for about the same amount of rushing yards that he had last season. He’s still a very good blocker but this is his swan song with the Cowboys.

Zeke always gets going against the birds. If he sucks against them, it’s over fir him. I expect 90-120 and 2 tds tomorrow.
So I should start him in my fantasy football league? Cause he hasn’t done squat for me so far this year.

Top five rbs get more than 12 carries a game. Its not that zeke cant.....its how km wants the offense to work.

Yeah I gave up on Moore properly using Zeke two years ago. It's just never going to happen. Moore doesn't wanna run the smashmouth offense and Zeke's not a good fit in whatever the hell this thing that Moore is running is.. It's a bad marriage and since nobody took Moore off our hands we're left with the couple sleeping in separate bedrooms on separate ends of the house until the divorce decree is final. No use losing sleep over it. I was hoping somebody would hire Moore and we could go back to playing winning football running it 30 times a game.. Zeke for 20 and Pollard for 10.. But that didn't happen.. Ironically it took Dak getting hurt to force Moore to lean more on the run. This current offense is the most balanced it has been since 2016.. With an above backup level QB it would be absolutely rolling!!

This, you have a backup QB, what smart DC would not take away the run and make him beat you.

Tomorrow we find out if he's truly washed up or still has his rookie burst.

Tomorrow (technically today, I know) we'll see Zeke's elite pass blocking
skills while Rush lights up the Eagles defense.
Real numbers too. 313 yds 3 tds including a bomb too #13... lol

(Today was a good day.)
