All these high paid players not giving effort under Garrett is the norm this year. Time to make the change Jerry. Get a real coach in here who will demand their effort or they go to they bench. Zeke has looked so flat and disinterested all year so far.

It's a valid point that he had 14 uns of 20-plus yards in 15 games and has only 1 in 9 games this year. That "4.4 speed" looks like a distant memory. I know it happens to running backs but not at 24 years old.

certainly not age holding him back he is in the prime of his career. It’s clearly effort.

While I agree that Zeke has not been in tip top shape this season, he has also not been helped by play calling.
When we saw Zeke as a rookie he was not a north south power back. He was a burst, outside the tackles runner. He needed, wanted the open field.
I don’t know if the Cowboys coaches asked him to bulk up or if he chose to, or if it’s jus the beer gut, but he’s clearly put on weight. And instead of giving him screens, sweeps, etc., they predominantly use him as a north south power back workhorse.
In my opinion that’s just one more example of a horrible misuse of resources. And another example of why we need a coaching change.

I've seen him come up limping after a few of his runs this year. Makes you wonder if he is playing hurt..

Totally. These sorts shows where a black guy and a white guy argue back and forth are completely scripted, but there is no denying that Zeke looks slow this year.

Zeke giving effort he's just not good and hasn't been for 3 years.

Having said that players have always played hard under Jason.

You're entitled to your own opinion but not your own facts.

Like I said in another thread, I don't think Skip seriously as a true Cowboys fan. He switched from always hating on the Cowboys when he was on ESPN, to now acting like he is a fan of the Cowboys. He sees that either way the Cowboys gives him the attention that he wants for his job.
