First off Zeke is lightning years ahead of where he was last season. He is in shape and running hard. He is the main focus of two defenses that are good run stopping teams. He and this oline will only get better as the game goes on. Also as far as the passing game is concerned it's very hard to involve him with 2-3 guys always concentrating on just him, hence all the big Dak runs when faked to Zeke. We should be hitting a couple of more play actions down the field with all the concentration going Zekes way.Two underwhelming games by Zeke. I don't see anyone talking about how he has regressed or that we need to go get a RB in the first round next year.
You can see with Barkely that they are making the effort to design the entire offense around him. When you use a top 5 pick on a RB, that's exactly what you better do. Not much running lanes, but he caught 13 passes yesterday in an effort to do whatever they could to get the kid involved.
With Zeke all I really see is runs up the middle with no creativity. A couple passes here and there.
As far as Barkley they really did a terrible job of getting him the ball. probably 8 of those catches were check downs and they only rushed 4 times with him in the first half I believe. That is a terrible job of getting him the ball.
