The thing you have to know about the feed me....is...it's a real thing. You CAN'T give zeke the ball 10 times in the first half and 6 times in the 2nd. He isn't built that way and never was. You use him to beat the defense into submission....and of course put pollard in to make their heads spin.

We aren't using him that way and the motion looks silly since the scheme used hasn't worked very well.

I tell ya what...zeke looked pretty good and should get some credit for getting his shtuff back into a nice pile. Pollard looks good too...this can be a very effective 1-2...if we can get things organized right.

Anyone notice Zeke didn’t do his annoying feed me routine?? I was pleasantly surprised. Maybe, just maybe..this coaching staff is getting a “team first” message across.

Leads me to believe he is aware of the fact he has under produced this season. Im not assigning blame. It is what it is, but I like seeing some awareness from him. Watching Pollard play well is also more fuel to the fire. Id wager Zeke has a strong finish to the season

Id love to see the staff lean him out a bit and try to find that lost second gear. I think he built his body to withstand the grind, which is good but it was that next gear that made him really special. Im not convinced its gone permanently. Hes taken a pounding but he is young. Train him for homerun speed and make him special again.

Yep....did you see the 'bama game? He pounded through the line and beat DB's to the endzone regularly. He's got it in him...just dig in and pull it back out.

I had hoped he would leave that in college. Better late than never, if it is truly gone.

Maybe he was full from all the BS stuffed down his throat from dumb fans. :lmao:

I can do without it, but not going to harp on it either. It's really any different from a player going through a stupid dance, drop the ball, then point indicating a 1st down.
How did you all feel when Michael Irvin (the creator of it all) did that?
