Been hampered with no line, no Dak and nagging injury. I think he showed good burst yesterday. We all crap on him when he sucks, I'll give him credit. He looked good and that makes me feel better about next year.

Zeke definitely stepped it up and played very well yesterday, and that's because he's still not at 100% with that injured hamstring. With this season on the line, Zeke acted like a captain and stepped it up. Wish he had played this way during the 2018 playoffs at the Rams, but I'll definitely and gladly give him kudos for yesterday. Hope he brings it this coming Sunday at New York, because the Cowboys need him to show up again.

He looked leaner and with more burst than we've seen in quite a while from him.

I remember him looking so good early in the season, especially those first couple weeks.

The production wasn’t amazing but we all noticed the extra burst. It’s like he just lost it when Dak got hurt. Plus playing from behind so often really takes away from Elliotts strengths.

I guess I was just blinded by all those fumbles.

Zeke is a pounder. He needs to carry the ball 20 plus times a game to be effective, IMO. Wearing the defense down is his calling card. So when he has 14 rushes in a game he looks inadequate.

Feed the Beast.

All respect sir but that same OL allowed a backup QB to look pretty good yesterday.

Elliott is average at best right now and is being paid to be elite.

He made a big deal out of getting that contract and has very far from lived up to it.

He is going to take his share of crap and just because the average performance he turned in yesterday was better than many of his this season, he isnt getting accolades from me. Sorry.

He's been off to plenty of quick starts or at least he used to.

And this isn't the 1990s when you can count on running backs getting 30 carries in a game.

If that is the case then it's even more reason to try to get out from that contract.

Well its difficult to live with the 1 and 2 yard carries while waiting for the big one you guys claim is coming.

Didnt he have a 17 against Cincinnati? Is that the one? Not sure.

One decent game and now people are all over his jock. This reminds me of how @Ranching felt about Garrett after one win last year.

Yes sir. He did play well and it was nice to see him bust a longish run. Hopefully he keeps rolling.
