Anyone left thinks Zeke is the best back in the league?

[CowboyRoy]

This is also Cooks first pro bowl season. Wait until next year when they have a whole season of game tape and devote the entire defense to stopping him.

Zeke is simply not the same back. He is done being an elite RB. Just watching him run its obvious. Even though the Cowboys coaches are slow, you can tell they are starting to realize it as well.

Last game they stubbornly stuck running Zeke and we lost because of it.

This week, they gave it a shot, then quickly went to Dak and the passing game and they stuck with it. And they didnt make the mistake of going back to zeke at the end.

what you're ignoring is the fact the the defense still!!! keys on the run when Zeke's in the game. When pollards in, its not the same defense and he still doesnt run that well. Other than the dolphins game, he hasn't had many good runs.

Give the ball to Pollard 15-20 times and he will put Zeke to shame.

The swing pass Td by zeke shows his present strength, but the pats with blizzard oaks will force Zeke to stay in

Bo Scarborough and Driskel both had more yds rushing than Zeke today.

 

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

opponents tell you how great you are. Now I'm mad at Zekes weight going up and his speed dropping some, but he's still a great back. The opponents key on Zeke every game which helps Dak to pass for 400 yards. These are experienced coaches and players who watch film. They still focus more on Zeke than Dak. Daks been great this year., but lets see what happens if they devote the defense to stopping the pass for the whole game. That's never happened in a game Zekes played in.

It's like AB and Juju. Juju was on a historic pace in years 1 and 2 with AB. As soon as AB leaves and he gets the attention, his numbers drop even when Ben was playing. Zeke opens it up for the pass every week even week 1. In his entire career, he's never had a team ignore him to stop the pass.

This BUT you are wasting breath trying to Preach to the choir.

Zeke apologist have no excuses. Teams have been keying on Zeke and the run game since his rookie year. It wasnt a problem in the past. He had a rookie QB his first year and the passing game was suspect in both 2017 and 2018.

Zeke is now operating in the #1 offense in the NFL with an amazing passing game and his QB is having a career year throwing for 400 yards and 3 TD's every other week. Even with all these things Zeke continues to on his downward trajectory. Never has Zeke been surrounded by the weapons he has now and he is running worse than he ever has.

Even when he breaks through the line, he runs into people.

Personlly the coaches sucks *** and are using Zeke way way wrong!! How about some damn toss plays and screens to the outside? *** is that asking too much? I mean we can clearly see he doesn't have that burst he used to have but if they use him correctly he can make the other team pay..He also opens up our offense bigtime when everyone is keyed in on him. I would love for him to have more homerun plays but keep grinding #21 it will come

 

[Hot_Toddy]

3.2 YPC. Non-existent in the passing game. Longest run of 8 yards.

What a stud.

Zeke is very existent in passing game from both points of view. Having Defenses concentrating on Zeke these last two games has opened up the passing game.

Don't forget to check the stats on Barkley or Kamira over the last 2 to 3 games. And their YPC as well. And don't be surprised when you look.

Our opponents respect Zeke and our running game.

Good luck to upcoming opponents trying to figure out which to try to stop.

With our upcoming opponent we can use the "Zeke Streak" or the "Deck 'Em"..Err I mean "Dak 'em". Or a 1-2 punch combo.

As long as the Dallas Cowboys are winning. I don't care which method we use...

"Zeke Streak" or "Dak 'Em".

Pollard has made more good runs and broken more tackles than Zeke this season. You give Pollard that same amount of runs that Zeke got I'm sure this team will be even more explosive.

The problem is that toss plays require the burst he no longer has.

He's a power RB now. And a pretty good one at that. But he's not the elite, all-around back he once was.

This, some will never learn and will aways complain about Zeke. Like you said how are these other 2 backs doing since they are suppose to be better?

We face single high at the 26th highest rate. Zeke ranks 20th in stacked boxes amongst starters.

Please provide proof that defenses concentrate on Zeke more than other backs.

Damn you make a great point, i guess those 300 plus carries a year for his first years really took a toll on him..Similar to Marion Barber

 

[nightrain]

Now that's just blasphemous...downright blasphemous. When did that matter.....our TE ain't the best on the roster.

You not concerned with the 2019 Zeke? He is not close to the same back we saw 2016-2018 and exactly the reason why you don't make RBs franchise players.

Not sure what TE has to do with it, but that is definitely a position that needs an upgrade. Would really like to see what Jarwin can do with a bigger role.

 

[BigCatMonaco]

Saquon has 165 yards rushing in his last five games combined.

Zeke has 447.

his cap hit this season is 700k more than Zeke.


Scrimmage yards?

386 to 575.


McCaffrey is playing the best this season.

let’s put that into perspective.

In his 42 career games now, with this insane pace he’s on currently this year, he still has fewer total yards rushing in his career than Zeke had just after contact BEFORE this season started.

 

[nightrain]

Pollard is better than Zeke

I'm not ready to officially go there yet, but there is a big difference in energy and production between the two back's totes. At minimum, the Cowboys should give Pollard more opportunities to help preserve Zeke. 21 looks nothing like the guy we saw the past three years.

Stop living in the past. What has Zeke done this year? He’s not the best RB anymore. He’s slower and rarely makes splash plays anymore. He’s not even in the top 20 in yards per carry.

Brady has all kinds of stats and records but this year he doesn’t look like the GOAT.

 

[Vegas_Cowboy]

Zeke has clearly lost a step or two and didn't deserve that $90Mill contract. No RB does, for that matter.

Zeke looks like 3-4 yards and a cloud of dust now. Pollard needs to be used more often. He's faster, better in space and more explosive.

I'll say it again, I guess. RBs can be easily replaced.

I see big differences between the two. Pollard just needs opportunities. Its just a matter of time now.
