Video: Zeke can't even sniff this level of play

[Whirlwin]

Lol, you do realize Zeke hasn’t even faced a top 15 rush defense yet and has “feasted” off the worst teams in the league, right? The best run defense he played, New Orleans at a whopping 16th, shut him down.

McAffrey also has more carries than the Ewok and almost double the receptions.

And I'm not a big Ezekiel Elliott fan. So make no mistake about it I'm not making excuses I think he's taking the wrong Lanes. Showing lack of patience. Stumbling on his own Feet Again

 

[aria]

I'm not making any excuses. The fact of the matter is is yardages down and Prescott's taking a beating. Something's wrong with the offensive line mentally motivationally preparation. If you don't see it oh well

Oh, I see it and I also saw that Zeke wasn’t worth what we paid him. Right when I thought Jerry had finally got his act together he caved in typical Jerry fashion.

 

[superonyx]

Zeke sucks right now. He’s earned this.


It’s not all his fault because we never get to see him operate in space but even when he gets to the 3rd level of the defense he hunts down the safety and gets tackled instead of runnningnto space.

He is on pace for 14 tds and almost 1400 yards.
Sucking like that every year puts you in Canton.

 

[silvrNblue]

He couldn't even carry Danny White's.

OUCH!!!!!!!!!

Zeke is better than all of them. If we get back on track, Zeke will be a big part of it. We're fortunate to have him. How soon we forget.

Forget what? That he doesn’t show up in big games and isn’t a true game changer unless he has a top 5-10 O line?

Or did you mean forget what a headache he is off the field and the fact that he sat out with 2 years remaining on his contract to be paid as a top RB in the league and he’s currently 8th in total yards and hasn’t even faced a top 15 run defense yet?

 

[Vomit]

He would have carried Aikman, Emmitt & the OL to 6 SBs. It’s kind of pathetic they only won 3.

Put the pipe down, it’s fogging your brain.

I know it feels good to be a nerd sometimes and look at stats. I do it myself.. But please watch the games and ask yourself what on earth is our running game providing to this team..

Explosive plays? No

Helping the pass offense? No

Resting our defense? No

Winning games? No

Running the clock out for the other team? Yes

Limiting our big play potential? Yes

Help bad secondaries hide their weakness? Yes



I'm glad Zeke is on pace for a big year but our run game is a part of our problem because this is a league that is all about explosive plays and our run game is Anti-Big play.

 

[CWR]

Dak couldn't carry Aikman's jock strap.....since we're going there.

To be fair those guys were champions. These guys haven't come close. So basically any comparison thats thrown out Im taking the dynasty and hell yeah those triplets had it all, loaded with talent and heart.

What a stupid thread

You know what you got me thinking. Maybe some of these guys on the offensive line are just pissed because they paid Elliott

Lol, I've said several times that when Zeke got paid he should have bought each one of them Rolex’s or something.

 

[CWR]

Emmitt managed to maintain the ability to elude free defenders with subtle moves, lateral quickness and just guile. That allowed him to play at a respectable level late into his career. Zeke needs to figure this out and adjust. The battering ram types tend to fall off a cliff in a blink.

Emmitt was also the type to use the hyperbaric chamber, cold tubs, kryo ect. He treated his body very well and worked to maintain his performance and longevity.

Zekes parties and chases skirts. Lol. In all seriousness Im positive Zeke trains his butt off, but I doubt hes as committed as Emmitt was year round.

 

[G2]

This place is a real treat to frequent.

 

[ABQCOWBOY]

Let me just say this. It is not fair to compare Zeke to Emmitt. Zeke can be an all time great back and still not be comparable. That's not a knock, that's just the truth of it, which is why I think it's stupid for our fan base to make statements that suggest he is as good or the best or whatever the case. It only hurts the kid. When Zeke's career is over, then we can compare but at this time, he's a good young player but time will ultimately determine his rank in the League.

 

[GMO415]

Give this team a true HC. Someone that can stategise and doesn't enter each week with the same game plan, no matter who the opponent is. This team could / should be dynamic.

 

[superonyx]

Cook is a scatback? lol 210lbs, same as Emmitt the scatback. lol. I'll take any size back that averages 5.4yards a carry,

Shady Mccoy is also 210 pounds. Doesnt mean you are not a scat back because you weight 210. Reggie Bush weighed 210 at one point also. Another Scat Back.

You just moved the goalpost my man. You said Zeke was having an awful season or something close that I am too lazy to look up.... I simply posted his stats that show he isnt having an awful season.
I see our offensive line struggling. Just like they struggles last year when Dak was sacked 58 times. When I watch the game I see defenders in our backfield. I see no push from the OL. I see our QB getting hit even when he does get the ball off. Play action won't work when your OL is playing poorly and teams are able to shut down your running game with just the down linemen.

The simple analysis would tell someone that the RB is struggling. Go deeper and you will see that its the OL struggling.

Its funny how when Zeke is tearing up the league its because of the offensive line but when he isnt its his fault.

Getting intelligent football analysis from this place is getting harder each day. Too many surface thinkers popping off from emotion.

I believe he trains his tail off but that's only half the battle as an elite level athlete.

Zeke is having a horrendous season and I don’t care what his numbers say.. That is the point of my post..

He has set a standard and while he is productive it’s killing our entire team and like I said in the other post it’s not all of his fault.

We’re running ourselves into losses.

 

[erod]

It’s true, don’t accept average or mediocrity!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your QB is Websters definition of mediocrity. Lol
