Zeke was our 3.2 ypc hero on Thursday

nightrain · Nov 27, 2020

Aside from he fumble, Zeke ran hard yesterday and I felt Moore/McCarthy should have hammered him much more and let him try to get in a rhythm.

That said Zeke was like the 3rd or 4th best back on the field yesterday and makes more than all combined. Another great move by Jerry signing a star in freefall.

Behind the current OL and liability at QB, any RB would struggle.

What makes it worse for the Cowboys is their RB leads the league in fumbles and doesn't show any particular interest at times.

yet pollard still managed a 40 yard td last week.

Zeke has been in decline since KMoore became OC. Pollard doesn't even get utilized for his skillset. You should look at the OC closer......next mission is to ruin one of the WRs.

KMoore gets immunity for some odd reason. And that's what is so laughable.

Moore has gotten criticized consistently. People are killing him for yesterday’s game.

Elliott is overrated by some of you.

Here we go......Moore shouldn't be the OC....period. And he ain't been criticized consistently. Zeke is overrated now, Coop been called overrated, Gallup been viewed as tradeable, Dak overrated,…..Pollard not getting enough touches.....the one constant.....Guess who? C'mon Man!

Zeke had 7 carries in the 1st half.....in a close game. Pollard touches were limited. There ain't no rhythm of any kind. I don't defend the Zeke fumble at all, but the wheels were coming off in the 1st half, with the coaching. I can't understand why the team doesn't play to strengths.....Pollard in the flat against a LB.....something to put the defense on its heels.
We see the same plays each week and the inability to have adjustments.

We have one of the most unprepared coaching staffs in the league. Each coordinator is terrible.

here we go with the "we know what the players are feeling" opinion. Dez was here and many people hated him for showing emotion and care, they replace him with Cooper and people are then like "wHy DoEs CoOpEr NoT cArE in away games". Now zeke has a fumbling issue and suddenly he doesn't care either? He has clearly shown frustration.

Tired of people saying certain players don't care when they do. Players not caring are the Jaylon Smiths and Poes, not the Zekes.

People rather hang on to some ridiculous notion on how great he is. The sooner he’s gone the better this “team” will be. Time to move on but can’t because the GM lives in a bubble with no access to a tv??? Still watching highlights from the 90s? Paying zeke iOS just a drop in the bucket full of terrible decisions!

the oc is outstanding. he is not the problem. it is the responsibility of the players to execute the plays. the hc, on the other hand, is worthy of scrutinizing. the fake punt call was ridiculous.

The OC is outstanding.....you just identified one of the problems. No worries.....next up, the HC (Kellen Moore) is outstanding.

fake punt calls come from the hc, not the oc. even if the call had been kellen's, a smart hc would have just said no. the adage the game is won in the trenches is as true today as it's always been. our o-line is a complete shambles. and matched against their d-line with 4 first round picks, we never had a chance once erving and zack went down. we were overwhelmed. and while our d-line can occasionally rush the passer, it's been lousy stopping the run this entire season. nothing kellen can do about those things. the wft runners weren't making their own holes, they were running thru gaps 8 feet wide. it was painful to watch. just like last week.

Where do the 3rd & 1 call comes from? Where do the red-zone calls come from? The ST coach says don't throw me in there like that, I got my on issues.

You won't get an argument from me on Moore. But you are using Moore as cover for the fact Zeke is not an elite TB. He doesn't have game breaking abilities anymore, he's a fumble machine, etc............... and on top of that, we have significant chunks of cap space tied up into him the next few years.

Such a poor signing by the Jones boys.

chicago JK · Nov 27, 2020

Jerry’s ego knows no bounds. Look how long he kept Garrett around just to be proven right.

Get ready for the Zeke extension in a few years so Jerry can try to save face. After that, maybe Zeke is hired as player coach. Then maybe he will be the first still active player who gets in the ring of honor.

No Sydia….not doing hindsight with Zeke, or his fumbling, or his pay......not even using Moore as a cover. But I am wondering why Zeke is a cover for Moore.

those plays failed because the wft defense just ran thru our o-line. 1st and goal on the two became 2nd and goal on the four. that became 3rd and goal on the 10. then lambo dropped a td pass in his hands. that's execution, not playcalling. however, we are each free to see things as we choose. obviously i like kellen and you don't. but i'm beginning to seriously dislike our hc.

after next season, there will be no cap hit or dead money because of the way zeke's contract was written. he'll probably be gone then, especially if he continues the downward spiral.

Fair enough.....Kellen Moore the new HC.....soon. And it is obvious too. For the record, I don't like the mix of the game plan....nothing personal to Kellen....it just appears he is still over his head right now....and this is the team he is getting OJT with. QB coach should have been the title right now. His promotion is the complete opposite of Zeke's pay.....Zeke had a track record …...KMoore didn't.

He had a couple decent runs and one called back, but when you have a total of 10 runs, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see the offense couldn't move the ball.

The offensive line has replacement players that have replaced other replacement players.

moore might get consideration for the job here and i'd bet other teams are keeping track of his play calling, especially those wanting to develop a qb. but football's a game of trench warfare and so far this year all we've had is trench foot.
