Washed, lazy, AND sensitive.


I've been one of Zeke's hardest critics but Elliott is 1000% correct.

The Problem is we can't find a Game plan or Coach to incorporate both Zeke and Pollard.

Kellen Moore got himself fired after Tony Pollard's performance.

Why can't this happen with Zeke on the field?

The lack of imagination is unprofessional and clear signs of immature offensive coach

can't agree. putting both on the field at the same time precludes a te or wr being taken out. kellen moore is an outstanding oc. zeke has simply been ineffective this year. little else to the story. taking out schultz or one of our top 3 wr's for zeke isn't the best of ideas.

Agree to disagree because Zeke is ineffective because the Oline has been trash for almost 2.5 seasons. But I disgress, an effective and good game plan can implement all these players. 12-15 play drives sprinkled in with 2 or 3 defense or special teams field flips will allow a seasoned Offensive Coordinator to keep all the players fed

I disagree, there are more than enough fans that are still going to show up to games and buy gear that don't get triggered because a player said it like it was to the notion that someone with zero input thinks they're the salary authority or in charge of the roster. In fact, besides an anonymous internet forum, I bet there are tons more that just view football as entertainment and don't get wrapped up in that stuff. But for those that feel they are the authority and boycott team sales, why are they here? We've heard that a lot on these boards.
I can only speak for myself but I have never spent a dime with the Jones owned Cowboys, not one. I do not see myself as an authority but I do still consider myself a Cowboys fan, although not a passionate one. Mine is all history and laundry.

That fan that views it as entertainment and doesn't get wrapped up in the money side, poster boy for that and I wish they'd leave all of that out but they won't. Time was they would not talk about that during the broadcast of the game but since Americans are so entranced with money and celebrities have become their gods, it's all about the greenbacks.

Elliott would be well advised not to use money references like "signs my checks" and use "not who I report to" would have been better. Make it about playing, not getting paid.

continuity on the o-line is essential. even with the players we have on the field currently, having played three games together has greatly improved the team. dalton has looked good recently (good enough), the wr's have looked good, schultz and other te's have played well, pollard has played well in his role. only zeke has not. that suggests he is the problem. hope he turns it around.

I agree with everything you said. Continuity is grossly underrated. But I do think that Elliott doesn't miss an entire game unless he's injured. So, I wonder how much of that factors in realistically.

If it were me, I'd use Pollard in place of Cedric Wilson or Noah Brown on some plays. Even if Elliott is in. Adds another dimension. And, I think receiving in space is one of Pollards greatest skill sets.

wilson or brown, yes. but cooper, gallup, or lambo, no. moore has had to adjust to the o-line problems which means getting rid of the ball quickly by dalton and a lot of short passes. no question pollard excels at this. far moreso than zeke.

Agreed, he's very effective (So far) in the flats/ out of the backfield. I could see them play action to Elliott and pass to whoever's open. Let defenses load the box.

i love play action, but it's only effective when the running game is working well. we haven't had much of a running game lately.

So Trevor would have to get a haircut if we get lucky, someway, somehow?
Not sure what you are talking about.

This is a zeke thread. I was talking about Zeke's hair. He had it "done"....not a silly micky Mouse 'do. Looked good.

Trevor? I don't care..... and I hope we don't waste a pick on the over-rated future bust.

Its always a bit confusing, since Zeke appears in all kind of threads.....I had to toss Fabio in there just to check.
