The Giants kept our run game in check last year. And now without that threat they can sit back and dare us to beat them in the air, as I am sure they are not quivering with fear about facing McFadden and/or Morris.

There is no sugar coating you can put on this when your best player is sitting out the game.
I don't disagree and think that's exactly what we need and should do to defeat them...through the air.

So in your eyes........... getting into a verbal spat with some guys and then getting jumped after the fact, beaten with a bottle and having a gun pulled on you is the same as seeing a guy harass a girl you know and walking up and cold cocking him in the face?
I don't accept your version of the facts..... all I am saying is that there is trouble out there whether you go looking for it or not............ if Zeke's woman ran her mouth and put him into a situation where he walks away and loses face with his girl is not an easy choice....... I would say Dak and Zeke are a lot more responsible than being presented but it doesn't matter.... they have to stay home and isolated or deal with these minor and major incidents by having a life

What good is being young, rich and handsome if you have to be a homebody

Running backs are a dime a dozen. F Zeke. Draft another RB in 2018 whether he keeps screwing up or not. He'll either straighten out or he'll be gone. Simple as that

We have so many Negative Nancies and Debbie Downers around here

When they repeat the same drivel over and over we get 20 of garbage in a couple hours

We are not cutting EE and we are not going 7-9 this year
Well we're not cutting Zeke anyway.

lol I really hope you're not giving merit to a bitter, ex-girlfriend who got kicked off the soon-to-be gravy train. That's a huge reach there.
it s the TMZ level scrutiny that EE is being help to........half of his incidents are on this level..... that is my point...... but she does say don't believe everything you see in public about Dak and that is reasonable

I'm glad it was cleared up to your approval....tell that to those defrauded........and keep ignoring the fight and DUI

Are you really concerned with Daks character or are you simply arguing to make a point? Dak has been a pretty solid dependable guy since becoming a cowboy. I havent seen him popping up in the news every 3 weeks for some random act of immaturity.

And amazingly, there are a lot of NFL Players who are somehow able to walk away from all that trouble out there.

So many silly strawman arguments you are making.

One, Elliott doesn't have to be a homebody. This is easily the dumbest rationale people have tried to use in this thread. Elliott can go to clubs, go to nice dinners, go drinking with his boys at a bar, etc. And when a situation arises, walk away. Again, is Elliott the only NFL player that might get harassed while out? Of course not. And yet, we don't see tons and tons of NFL players getting into bar fights, etc. Why is that?

Two, this idea that he had to hit the guy because of some sort of honor code for his girl is also silly. LOL. It's an easy choice. You tell your girl that you can't be involved in situations like that. It can cost you money and your career. That there are always going to be goons out there trying to pick a fight with you and you can't be baited.

I mean that's what this is really about. The more clearheaded and less immature NFL players know this and make sure they do whatever they can to avoid being caught in situations like this.

Why are we so quick to be judgemental when not one person in here claim to be there to witness it? How many times have the media gotten something wrong just to get a story. Maybe he did it. Maybe he didn't. But, let's wait to hear the facts. There are contradicting stories out.

Keep bringing up issues involving Dak from college, in a thread about issues involving Zeke in the pro's. Lame whatabout-ism at its finest.
narrow the goalposts enough and no one will ever score

Dak's history is his history......whether in college or pros..... he is no Saint because he talks about his dead mother

becuase he keeps on putting himself into these situations and constantly exercises poor judgement

RBs are not a dime a dozen like many say. Did you see what we did in 2015 vs 2016? Same OL. Different RBs. Different results.The RB by committee in 2015 got pretty much zero yards that had any substance. We could not control the game with our RB and establish a tempo. If you are a middle of the pack guy, sure, the differences are not much between the rest. But finding a talent like Zeke is not a dime a dozen. He makes a huge difference as you saw.

To add, Zeke is a HUGE part in what we do. Maybe on a team like NE he would not have the same value because they don't value the RB like we do and run a different offense. A lot of their quick passes are equated to long handoffs.

But with what we want to do and try to establish on offense, a player like Zeke is not a dime a dozen. He's a special player. I believe in this offense, he can get to 2k yards a few times. Or at least once.

It would not surprise me if local writers have more information regarding Zeke but can't or won't report it because because they are not properly sourced or is second hand information that they can't confirm.

So while they can't say anything about these stories, they believe them. So, even without realizing it sometimes, they may talk about how Zeke is some kind of ticking time bomb or something.

I'm convinced Brandon George of DMN knows something.

Sooo... to sum up what I've read so far is that a dude was harassing a girl and Zeke popped him.

Someone tweets a pic and then alleges Zeke told him to *** off.

Dez tweeted something lowbrow that MANY on here would approve of, but because it's Dez....

Back to Zeke, so if all he did was pop a guy for harassing a lady, then I'm for it.

I love the offseason.. Keeps it interesting around here.
You forgot about Lucky's dog. :(

I'd argue that Zeke is on a different level than Dak when it comes to what he's getting himself involved in. And it's happening way more frequently as well.

But you're right, it's definitely safe to assume that part of Dak's humility is just a show. He wouldn't have the success he does unless there was a decent amount of arrogance/self confidence.

He is no Saint....... he went with the stereotypical Playboy model girlfriend and was told by the team to have her tone down her Twitter postings with his uniform half on and off.... it wasn't his hometown sweetheart he married up

Don't believe the hype, its a sequel

So a platter should be suspended for several incidents combined when they are all unrelated that do not deserve a suspension as a single entity.
Maybe the bouncer started the incident.

Walked into a marijuana shop........so is this legal, if you walked into that shop, would your employer suspend you (if you are not self-employed)

Texted a girlfriend that he would beat an upcoming drug test.......this means nothing, my friends and I joked all the time, when we had to take drug tests for employment, and none of us did or do drugs.

Domestic violence allegations in Ohio......no charges were made and case dropped.

Pulling a girl's shirt down at a Dallas parade......immature act, girl was ok with it, nothing is ever mentioned except on here.

Two car accidents.......and he should be suspended for this, and neither was his fault, and and was a passenger in one of them.

And now a bar fight the week of his meeting in New York with the league office.......can we at least wait until we have some details.

This could suddenly be a much longer suspension......sounds like you want him suspended so you can have something to go on about


Of course it is... This is text book Conduct Detrimental to the NFL. His goose is now cooked if he knocked someone out.
Why these guys can't stay out of bars and clubs is beyond me.

That's part of being a star on America's Team, can't have it all. Cowboys dominate most headlines good or bad because they have one of the biggest, if not the biggest fan base. That's also why they get more prime time games on average.
So why don't you hear this stuff about Jason Witten or Dak Prescott?
