News: TSD: Ezekiel Elliott admits he needs to improve his play going forward

[mattjames2010]

In your 4th season, got a fat contract. There should be no more "improving".

Everyone piling on Zeke, I get it, but hes still not the reason were slumped.

What’s funny is Zeke admits he needs to improve but his supporters here will argue otherwise. How this chump has got a free pass since draft day is beyond amazing. He’s been nothing but a headache off the field and has only produced with a top 5-10 O line. He sits out with 2 years left on his contract, demands to be paid the highest paid RB and only shows up against the worst teams in the league. Now he gets the “O line sucks” excuse which Barkley or any of the other top RB’s never got.

Yet somehow the excuses keep rollin’ in. Amazing. No accountability. The excuses have been reduced to “he isn’t the problem”. With the amount of money he demanded and was paid, there should be “he isn’t the problem” excuses, he should be in the conversation of why we won games and what a difference maker he was.

And he’s not the reason we’ve won either which is the problem. Demand to be paid the highest for your position you better be a game changer which he has failed to do.

Our placement will change exactly 2 games on the schedule. Lol

And those 2 game may actually make the schedule more difficult depending upon what changes/injuries occur to other teams in the league.

“It’s definitely a play I wish I could get back, a play that could have changed the game and a play that could have won the game,” Elliott said. “When I look back on the first six weeks of the season, I need to leave Sunday not having those regrets or not having those plays that I wish I could get back.”

But @xwalker said Zeke did what he needed to on that play! lol

 

[blueblood70]

and? he should as the other 43 players, coaches, and owners should all look deep and say to themselves, "where can I improve and do better to help get back on track..

Zekes a step off but if his worst is being 6th in the league in rushing only 120 out of first hes second in rushing tds after last week, is tops in a odd stat called burst plays of 10+ yards and all this with less then his usual carries..

Ill take this and add that out of all the alleged overpaid RBs hes ahead of them ALL and on the field...

so yes he can improve as all of the team can..noones without flaws..

This is the type of mentality that has bugged me for years. It shouldn't be acceptable for our best players to be good enough to simply not be the reason why we lose. It's like more is expected from our JAGs than our star players. It's OK for Zeke to blow a play because he's good, but Heath blowing a play would be catastrophic.

lulz, xwalker and his “analysis.”

 

[cowboyblue22]

looks to me like he is fat and happy he got paid he is closer to the bottom rung of running backs than he is a top back

Prediction Time:

Ok wow this one is a tough call because both teams suck so predicting a winner won't be easy and I'll still not sure who I like as of right now. The Cowboys are really banged up and even if Smith and Collins play it still doesn't guarantee anything plus Cooper looks to be out (huge loss). Now as far as the Cowboys defense goes, um what defense? The Jets who were last in every possible offensive category torched the Cowboy's defense last week which was extremely embarrassing. As far as the Eagles go they're not much better. Their defense is just as pathetic as the Cowboys and Kurt Cousin ripped them apart last week. So with that being said what gives? If the Cowboys lose Garrett is done (should have been fired at halftime against the Jets) if they win they're still in first place in an awful division. Now there is one thing that the Cowboys have going for them Dak Prescott dominates the NFC East and the Eagles but in the end I think it will come down to a Brett Maher chip shot field goal attempt. Sorry folks wide right.

Eagles 24
Cowboys 23

Bingo, if you watch the tape Pollard just looks more explosive.

 

[shabazz]

Well, at least one of the Triplets is taking accountability.....even though he may be on My 600 lb Life in 4 years

I said cutting to the inside was the right move.

I said he should have been able to evade the tackle once he did cut back inside.

Zeke did not comment on the details of what he should have done.

 

[Batman1980]

Once he gets to the second level it seems like he’s looking for somebody to crash into vs cutting and dashing towards daylight. Like he’s lost his vision.

He prefers contact to making a big play.

 

[cern]

sorry, but I don't see zeke as the problem. defenses are dominating our o-line and getting to zeke in the backfield. he plays as hard as ever. but he can't do it alone.

 

[silvrNblue]

Instead of a "cabo" right arm work out, maybe he should have went over to Kramara's balance coach.... dude flat out sucks balls, and yet they paid him 100 mil...go figure.

 

[Cannibal_Cowboy]

Nice to see the hated Zeke take accountability for something. Where’s Fred and Zack? Oh ok

How asinine . Fred is coming back from a debilitating disease. Zack has a back injury. How does that compare with a fat fool who is just out of shape?

 

[Cannibal_Cowboy]

Mental midget!!! Lol!!! He's gonna make over 100 million!!!!! You're more a mental midget than he is.

Soooooo, if Jerruh is a billionaire then he must be a genius too? Mensa material isn't he?

Ezekiel Elliott admits he needs to improve his play going forward

The Dallas Cowboys were once undefeated heading into Week 4, but they've lost three consecutive games since, and appear to lack an identity on offense. It's unclear if it's the pl...

Fair enough. I still believe in 21. Still one of my favorite players!
