If you choose, I can pick you an appropriate Eagle-centric avatar?

Seriously. You have even made Rowdy look good.
I'm done with Rowdy. I got one with Leighton and JVE since those are our real best players.

Until the return of Zeke, expect to see a LOT of Chris Jones out there.

Since a lot of drives will be three-and-out and similar, and the Cowboys will still have one of the top 3-5 defenses in the NFL, it's imperative that Chris Jones has to have a great season doing his job, at least until/if Zeke comes back.

Agreed?

What is that I hear. I hear your Eagles brethren calling you, and asking who is the Eagles punter, as they will be worse off with Mr. "I am injured again" Wentz when it happens.

We can still move the ball without zeke. We will have to see a few more pass attempts and that is easy to do.

No....there seems to be a myth among Cowboys fans that Zeke gives us Emmitt production but that is not true. Yes Zeke is a great RB but last season he was not one of the top backs in terms of TDs or in 3rd and short situations. I think we will be more successful in the RedZone and in 3rd and short situation because of play calling with or with out Zeke and keep the ball moving.

they be in love with the ewok boy. If elliott started a aliens are coming we have to prepare cult ........they would all sign up to be with the
great one, aka feed me boy.
So... should we go with "ewok boy", or "feed me boy"? Or "great one"?
I'd like this consolidated for simplicity's sake.

Moore is a better OC than Linehan, but none of us lived under a rock in the heart of the 2017 regular season. Three straight games without Zeke, the Cowboys scored in single digits for the whole game. 7, 9, and 6..... total stinkers. Two of those were at home. With the OL starting the season already somewhat banged up, a bottom-15 starting QB in tow, iffiness at TE and albeit a solid (upper half) receiving corps, the offense will struggle to move the ball and score.

First two of those 3 losses was without Tyron, starting with the infamous Atlanta game. Third loss Philip Rivers destroyed us with a 149 QB rating.

And then we won the next 3 with Tyron and without Zeke. Then lost the first game with Zeke back to beat Seattle and stay in playoff contention.

Record w/o Zeke in 2017
w/o Tyron 0-2
with Tyron 3-1
