That's quite right. Nice call.
One thing he has in common with Murray is neither RB hit a rushing home run in years 2-4 with the Cowboys. Murray left the Cowboys and hit a home run then next 3 season. It could very well be that Zeke’s home run hitting ability was hurt by the coaching staff in some way, shape or form.
How do we not have the full 100? Zeke is a top 5 back without question. We're basically arguing Aaron Rodgers vs Brady ala RB in today's NFL. You're not wrong either way. Upside I'll say for Zeke, is that he is probably the best blocking back in the game. If you wanna talk about 100%, Zeke is the most complete back in the game.
Zeke missed all of camp last year as he himself alluded to.
I think he has relied on natural talent and he is capable of more. Some are satisfied with that and I am not. Zeke behind this line should have been giving 2k a run for its money for a few years and he didn’t. 2016 had a shot at the team record but was sat down the final 1.5 games and got off to a slow start that year. He hasn’t been the same back. I can only imagine how good he could have been if he improved from his rookie year instead of declined but he has clearly been 2 backs...2016 Zeke and 2017-2019 Zeke. I want the rookie version back.
Chubb just got in the league lol. Give him zeke touches and he will FOLD eventually. Thats what yal dont get. Zeke isnt your average back and PLAYERS AND FORMER PLAYERS are trying to tell you that. I still remember Kellerman trying to scold Landon Collins on Zeke vs Saquan. Cute
All I can do is diagree whole heartedly. I don't think he regressed at all. When he came in, Dez was no longer a 1, and outside of Beasley we had no true threat. Not to mention he walked in to the best O Line we've had in forever. There's been a lot of roster change since then. We shall see. Personally, I think Garrett is notorious for making great players look okay, and if not for Romos brilliant knowledge of the game, we'd have been under .500 for a lot of his coaching years. Hopefully McCarthy still has something in the tank. I'm not certain of that, but he's still got to be an improvement over Garrett.
I don’t see how Marvin Maye stops Zeke in the open field with an All Pro lineman leading the way for a 12 yard gain. In 2016 Zeke is spiking the ball on that play. He is not the same dynamic player. He’s a battering ram bell cow.
This is my point. We're crying that a RB went for 12 yards!!!!!??? Sometimes players get stops. Video me the play you're referring too. I'll call it lazy as I see it.
It was against the Jets and yeah I’m crying about a open field run that only went for 12 years with a lead blocker. Even Zeke admitted he needed to do better. I think that is the difference between 90% Zeke and 100% Zeke.
Cosign!!
Did you forget the context of our conversation (90% vs 100%)? Even Zeke admits he needs to be better. Why do you struggle with that thought?
