Without Zeke we’re a 8-8 team at best

[Willfreedom909]

Pay that man.

 

[rnr_honeybadger]

Right, one guy managed to win all those games. Not like it was a team effort or anything.

 

[cowboyblue22]

until the dallas cowboys can average more than 22 points a game they are not going to be able to compete with the better teams a run first team is not going to win a championship they have to fix the passing game and score more points

 

[glimmerman]

Pay him after this season unless we can get a deal. He has another year left on his rookie deal. I am all for keeping him as long as he stays in shape.

 

[PJTHEDOORS]

Pay that man.

And Dak....yada, yada.

 

[mattjames2010]

He's an RB, he isn't winning us crap. He was part of our first shut out since 2003, and the almighty Zeke was part of the game in 2017 that sent us home packing when he was supposed to come back and be our savior. He also had a whopping 2.4 YPC against the Rams.

You care about a playoff appearance, I care about trophies. Zeke isn't getting us those.

I think you are confusing Zeke with his OL.

By the end of the year..

we were starting 3rd stringers.

Give up the OL..

and Dak and Zeke are pedestrian

The offensive line was ranked well for rushing - and if a top 5 pick needs a stud o-line, then he isn't exactly winning us games, now is he? That would be the O-Line.

And people are kinda forgetting here, Zeke is in his prime now. It's not coming later, he's not going to peak - he's already at it. Either he gets us a trophy now, since he's the reason we are "winning games" or it's not going to happen in the very near future.

Understood.

But it's not either or.

It's both together for Zeke and the team.

And this thinking Zeke is not going to last is just guessing.

Emmitt did just fine.

Dorsett did just fine.

Zeke will be fine.

Smith and Dorsett played in a different era.

 

[nightrain]

I think the dependency on a world class RB is stagnating the Cowboys offense and making them easier to defend.

Thanx Capt Obvious.

So was Red Grange.

Still a great back.

Train, is the dependency a necessity due to struggles in other areas?

 

[Idgit]

Yeah, without our other great players, too, we’re even worse.

 

[TwistedL0g1k]

If we're an 8-8 team without Zeke, that says a lot about the QB.

 

[mattjames2010]

Thanx Capt Obvious.

If it's obvious, then why bring them up? We aren't in a similar league anymore. Rules changed, elite RBs don't carry teams any longer. Time to move on.

 

[DallasDW00ds0n]

Without Zeke this team is a 5 win team.

 

[Afigueroa22]

Yeah look at the Giants.

The lack of points isn’t due to a lack of yardage though. The passing game, after Amari Cooper was moving the ball well enough, combined with a top notch running game, to score a lot of points.

The issue was the redzone offense. Both the passing and running game struggled in the red zone and didn’t convert into TD’s often enough.
