I know it's another Zeke thread but this confirms what I posted about how Zeke doesn't attack the edges anymore.
I haven't seen him try to out run the LB/Safeties to the sidelines and turn the corner for a big gain like he used to.

I love Baldy's breakdowns.

I do think missing camp matters but it's 10 week into the season now. He should be "Zeke" but he's looking average. It's disappointing.

Zeke has been run down to the ground his first 3 years. He's looking old and out of gas. I mentioned it late in the season last year how he was looking slow, timid and afraid to hit tight holes and the edges aggressively like he used to in 2016, 2017 and early 2018 seasons, but I got blasted for saying so. Even during last year's playoff loss at the Rams, Zeke looked like he did this past Sunday night against the Vikings......old, slow, hesitant, out of gas, worn down, etc. I told y'all it was a mistake for Jerry to pay him #1 overall top RB ever pay. Oh, well...

This has been accumulating since last year. Not sure why the majority cant see it. There is no speed or elusiveness. stop, hop, dive when he feels contact
This was the worst signing in DC history
Exactly! Just what I finished saying a minute ago.

I've been defending him, mostly, but it's getting tougher.
Its on him. Hs hungry on the field but he Needs to be hungry off the field. Be disciplined. Control your weight. In his early highlights, h looked lighter.
He Needs to play between 222 and 224. He also needs to stop acting like a brick head and trying to run everyone over. A Peterson took just as many hits as Zeke and kept his speed into his 30s. He also played at 220.

Sorry. I'm not a huge Zeke fan, but the O line was hot garbage. To suggest holes should be developed due to salary like the red sea got split is stupid. Christ sake, watch the game. There was nowhere to run. Plus the play calling had him getting the ball at a dead stop. If you watch, the middle was bad. Fred included, but specifically Williams. I guess he's getting a scope? Not sure when he go injured, but anyone thinking he's any better than a back up Guard is silly.
Again, Elliott isn't fault free. But we've seen games the O line did well run blocking. This was one of a few they were junk.

This illustrates how well Prescott did only getting sacked once. Verses solid D lines, they crumble.
