How many carries will Zeke get a game?

[NeathBlue]

So hes fallen so hard his nfl ypc is....<1.

Man you guys really desperate! Lets see how low we can actully go....challenge accepted! Impress us!

I felt I was being somewhat optimistic thinking he’d actually get back to the line of scrimmage lol

 

[CowboyStar88]

Hopefully he’s released in camp

Released for who exactly? You act like they’ve got a stable of backs fighting for carries. They do not.

 

[charron]

Well Rico will look ok till he stubs a toe again then he's out. With healthy Rico Zeke gets 5 carries. After that Zeke gets them all.

Depends if center still gets knocked on his butt.

Pollard never did prove himself at rb1.

He didn't. But 2 years ago he was showing he deserved more snaps, and was a great compliment to Zeke's battering style.

Aria, wherever you are, I am finally on your side old buddy.

If the OL is better at run blocking he may do alright. A lot guys can run through big holes. He has the vision. We use him on short yardage a lot for sure.

Yes....there were a lot of fights about it....but in that window they were perfect duo.

 

[Aven8]

He will be the bell cow. Jerry is enamored by him. He’s being forced on them…..

 

[JW82]

Too many

If you just wait it out....you'll eventually be right.

Im surprised at some of you....i mean if we're gonna wreck the train why fight THIS car?

 

[cowboys5xsbs]

Probably the same as he got in New England

 

[csirl]

None - much easier to go on IR and collect whatever inflated salary Jerry is paying him.........easy money!

There does not need to be any pitch count for Zeke or any other back. If it's a true RBBC then it's simple. You ride the hot hand. Whoever is ballin' gets the totes. Period. Watching Zeke in New England get yards behind the worst line in football with a rotation of steamin piles at QB made me sure the year of not having to shoulder the load allowed his body to heal up. The dude scored a TD by literally leaping over a would be tackler and hitting the ground without breaking stride in that Pittsburgh game and that was pretty late in the year. Zeke's body is never going to hold up for 20+ touches. At least not more than 2-3 times a year. But he absolutely will have a few games this year which will remind us why he was picked so high. One thing's for sure.. our failure rate in the red zone just went down significantly.

 

[jazzcat22]

20, and you will enjoy it.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

The NERVE of Zeke and Jerry wanting him to retire a Cowboy!

 

[conner01]

Hopefully 8 or so, most in short yardage. But his blocking ability could be huge with a rookie at LT. He’s still a really good blocker just way to slow to the LOS to be an effective runner

 

[Surfguy]

will enjoy it.

 

[RonWashington]

If he jumps into that SA Kettle, he might get stuck

Can’t afford the fine on the current contract . I’ll be happy if he finds the end zone .

 

[RonWashington]

RB by committee . Dowdle Zeke Freeman and from what I’ve seen I’ve got Malik Davis ahead of Vaughn .
