Twitter: Ezekiel Elliott Must Be 'Smarter' After 'Mistake,' Says Cowboys RB Coach

Look at Witten and Ware. Dudes are out of control! Blocking Dez while he's just trying to walk away! Getting in his face, pushing him, grabbing him!

This kind of behavior is unacceptable. I mean, if someone did that to @aria he'd probably kill them. He'd at least be well within his legal rights to knock them out.

How can you even compare what Zeke does off the field to a stranger to two teammates or a coach and player on the field? If someone I know, especially a teammate, did that to me it could get ugly but wouldn’t last long. If a stranger did that to me, yeah, if I weren’t worried about the law I would love to kill them.

Alcohol... the Devil's water.
I like it! But for some people, it's best left avoided.
He's young and he's obviously got some lessons to learn and, hopefully - He learns them and learns them fast.
He seems like an empathetic and decent guy, but when the liquor flows and the inhibitions go the way of the Ronin... Jekyll becomes Hyde.

But Thanos said he would bathe in Ronin’s blood.

Got that right.

Assault is assault, dude. In fact, most cases of violent crime are perpetrated by people who know each other. You're sounding like a battered wife excusing her husband. "But he loves me!!!!"

I do not know what this means, but it sounds cool!

My god, so two teammates chest bumping and one falls over is the same as me approaching a stranger and knocking him over with my chest? I think not. Give it up, you’re not helping yourself here.

I can only assume you’re just making these ridiculous comparisons because you loved our first dance so much and want another but this argument isn’t even worth the first step.

Good night sweet prince.

They're not chest bumping. Interesting that you have to redefine their actions in order to dismiss it.

How about the piece of trash girl that he was with? Chick was wearing a skimpy thong to a concert. LOL

Nice butt aside, that is low class trash. And you could tell that she was completely embarrassed by him and was trying to get away from him.

Zeke is nothing but an immature piece of trash. Verdict is in, and he is found guilty.

Zeke is EASY ret4rd prey for any woman....honestly he's pretty pathetic. Talented dude with a .10 brain. The Cowboys "Nuke LaLoosh"....

 

[ksadler1]

Being honest here, l doubt I'd even be alive if l had Zeke's $$ and fame when l was in my early 20's. I totally understand Zeke wanting to have a good time and party, but this is not the 70's or 80's when social media was non-existent. I look back at some of the stupid #%&* l used to do and l'm amazed l'm still around.

Zeke's problem is what most of our problems were back when we were his age. He's immature and hasn't developed good common sense yet. Contrary to popular belief, being smart has much less to do about survival than common sense. I've known people with multiple degrees that l wouldn't want standing next to me when #%&* hits the fan. I'll give Zeke the benefit of the doubt for now, but he needs to grow up real fast...

There comes a point where you need to bow out or find another argument, this one is beyond ignorant.

 

[Beaker42]

They've made excuses for Ezekiel the last time he screwed up, giving him the same advice they did this time.

Evidently, he's not the sharpest tool in the shed. At some point, he needs to put 2 and 2 together and grow up.

2 and 2 at tOSU is 3 so that’s part of the problem. Im really beginning to question his thought processes.

Why is it ignorant?

 

[Oz-of-Cowboy-Country]

Cut and edited video doesn't tell the whole tale. But YES, Zeke needs to make better decisions.

 

[Haimerej]

Good night sweet prince.

Don't flatter yourself. Still waiting for a reason why that's different. Not sure why you can harass someone and get physical just because you know them. Being dismissive isn't an argument. I believe in principles.

 

[Bullflop]

Thus far, it's been a waste of time telling Zeke "he needs to be smarter." I'm uncertain as to exactly what they could do to impress him sufficiently. Would a costly fine or assigning a "babysitter" to be with him, like what they did with Dez, give him the added impetus to change his ways? Tough call.

It's extremely puzzling at best, or at least, it seems so. A major part of the problem appears to be an apparent inability to handle his alcohol intake when he's been partying. That's something that would seemingly have to come from within, rather than being cautioned by a superior.

Whatever the solution may be, here's hoping Ezekiel ultimately finds the wherewithal to discipline himself better in the future. He'll need to do so if he's intent upon continuing a successful career. Maturity is something that usually comes in time with most of us. Here's hoping he'll find a way to get there of his own volition, before the suspensions return and it's eventually too late for second chances.

 

[ItzKelz]

How about being smarter BEFORE you make a mistake?

Yea if only life was this easy. Zeke should be all over TV in commercials as the best RB in the NFL for Americas Team and mistakes in judgement of some sort has cost him millions. If he hasnt learned by now.....he never will unless someone pulls a Buddy Ryan/Chris Carter on him. Likely not going to happen.

I hesitated to say this before, but I can't help but wonder if Jerry should send him to AA or something to that effect.

 

[Diehardblues]

Jerry’s going to muddy the waters again defending Elliott placing the league in a position where they’ll be more apt to get involved because of an owner who won’t police his own players.

If Jerry would call out Elliott and take some discipline himself perhaps the league wouldn’t feel Jerry is practically accepting this type of behavior.

 

[Diehardblues]

What part of it was a mistake? This isn’t even close to the worst thing the Cowboys have tolerated their players doing. Newsflash: he’ll do this stuff a couple more times, and no one in valley ranch will see it as an issue until the media tells them to.

Yep

It’s beginning to look like Jerry is part of the problem not policing his own players.

 

[Diehardblues]

It's not that simple. Zeke seems to have a serious problem. Urban Meyer spoke with him and his parents about it on multiple occasions. Joey Bosa had to move out because of it. Zeke is apparently a binger. Days on end.

If you've ever known anyone like that, they don't listen to anybody. So far, he's still semi-functional with it. So i guess you just ride it out.

And that’s all fine unless you want to play in the NFL.
