You're right but with our O line I think good back ups are enough to get the jobe done. I'm not saying we won't lose a game because of his absence but we shouldn't lose every, or even half, of the games he gets suspended for (assuming he gets suspended).
Depending how long he's out. The backs behind Zeke just are not power backs. They can be okay short term but not long term. The good thing is we got Dak but he's still going to need a running game. And the schedule is tough. We can't start out 0-2 and we got NY and Denver our first 2 games.

The sterling YPC of McFadden (3.6) and Morris (3.5) makes this so true, I guess.

Elliott's 5.1 a carry was nothing but the line blocking.

Oh yes, I forgot. Anyone can run behind this line.
Overreaction on your behalf. Zeke carried the ball more and so with those extra carries came several long runs where he was virtually untouched (thanks to the blocking) and account for the extra yard or so per carry in his stats. Give the other RBs those same carries and the same YPC will be produced.
You are most welcome for having me man-splain this to your panicked self... no charge. :muttley:

All this makes me even more curious about Dak calling Zeke out for doing more beneficial things with his "platform" -I thought it was a pretty direct/aggressive statement but just kind of assumed I was reading into it (which I may still be)

Why is Dak being mentioned? The vast majority of people on this planet aren't holier than thou Saints and Dak has never said he was. But what does that have to do with Zeke?

facts aside, NFL is on a witch hunt and this guy just can't lay low


Maybe the guy did to him what the guy did to Donnie Brasco in the airport?

Do you realize how much partying and general buffoonery you have to do to have this many incidents in one year? How many things have happened that just never came to light? I'd say less than 5% of this stuff ends up in the public eye.
:hammer::hammer::hammer: I've seen some stuff that could easily get boys suspended. Some ( not all) really act dumb when they are partying. That's not to say the rest of the population doesn't either because I see dumb stuff non athletes do at the clubs on a regular basis.

? I'm not sure where some of the princesses in this thread have been hanging their boots, but sometimes guys get rowdy in bars and you may have to defend yourself.

In some parts of Texas, this is called a Wednesday.

Add in the fact it's a famous young RB, and I'm not surprised at all some drunk guy tried to start stuff with him.
This does happen

So why don't you hear this stuff about Jason Witten or Dak Prescott?
Is there some sort of ongoing investigation with Witten? Is Prescott under investigation? Have either of them made questionable decisions (publicly)? I'm not sure I know what you mean. I read plenty of articles on Dak and the things he's done for charity, even on national level.

It's worrisome for sure, it was with Zeke. I just hope JG changes the strategy regardless if Zeke is in or not, kt clearly didn't work last year. This may force his hand and we may be surprised at the results.....hopefully.

Just a few words I've heard about Zeke through 2co-workers. They both drive charter buses and have drove the Cowboys players multiple times. Zeke was said to be extremely cocky, rude and pretty disruptive on the buses. Dak on the other hand was said to have shook the drivers hands when getting on and off the bus and was very respectful. One also said Dak was in line at a restaurant and let him get in front of him because he was the driver. Basically Dak was a cool guy and Zeke was a dick was the short version. This was before today's news as well.

Nothing will happen to him.

I feel like that ship has sailed. Ive gotten the impression the NFL is determined to punish Zeke. With his latest transgression I would be very suprised if he doesn't miss a game or 2. Its not about what I feel he deserves. Its an all out witch hunt and he keeps giving them ammunition.
