I don't expect to see Zeke to take the field in a Cowboys uniform for that 5th year if an extension is not reached. I also think Rod Smith has shown us it takes more than a good OL to have a stout running game.
Zeke will play for the 9m
What player of Zeke's caliber has ever been fined for holding out? When I look at the Cowboys depth chart as it pertains to the RB position, I see about the same leverage for Zeke as I saw for a former Cowboys RB back who sat for two games in the 90s.
That's cool... they should probably draft a RT then.
Name a more complete RB.
Saquon Barkley for sure and maybe Bell. Barkley, without a doubt, is the most complete RB in the league. He has slightly better speed, better hands, 0 fumbles compared to Zeke’s six, ran behind a much worse O line, and has better moves. Zeke runs slightly better north and south but thats about it. Not to mention it seems like Barkley has more then air between his ears which is always an added bonus with some of these guys, especially recent Cowboys unfortunately.
Yeah that's his natural position and he has the feet for it, but they have their ways.
Yet really good backs are found in the 3rd pretty often
That’s cause they didn’t have his replacement. If they thought it was Randle they are stupid
No there ain’t
That’s cause Smith is a backup at best to let EE walk I know another back would need to be drafted.
I agree!
McFadden was pretty close to 1100 yards. He specifically said replace him with a 1200 yard back.
McFadden surprise me and he did do a pretty darn good job when they finally used him but he was older and injury prone. I always viewed RB as a young man’s job. My opinion is to draft one every 4 or 5 years keep them basically on a rookie contract.
Do the math.
RB is one of the easiest position to fill bet there are more successful RBs than QB in this draft and you might not see a RB drafted until the second
