Twitter: Zeke Elliott on his failed red zone TD attempt

Stand up guy not to throw his TE teammate under the bus. Well done Zeke.

Zeke falling on his sword for Jarwin, which is what a leader does.

In his early years he had a brutal stiff arm.

....nice rebuttal, but we know Jaws whiffed the play. ..meh..

WHAT??? It’s what this team needs more of ….. Jarwin ****** us out of a W with that PPP effort. Zeke still should’ve scored but 90%+ of the failure on that play was Jarwin’s.

Woody-- i did not even read what you said only saw title.....on that play if Zeke would have drifted deeper on crossing route...wide open TD....that with Zuerline....and Ceedee drops...and coaching

going for 60 yard FG instead of punting when Z could not hit 30 yd chips shot and missed by a mile......those things why we lost....but if we dont get 4 T.O.'s not even that close...our defense did its job

special teams and few plays on offense did rest....and the refs....obvious OPI call on final drive but no its Brady at Bucs stadium so non call...and guy who rips off helmet no call...both grievious and cost

us the game too..when refs determine outcome of game is what makes it so SAD...remember 2019 one year you could analyze refs call or no call on either DPI or OPI?....why they toss that one out?

because makes refs look bad...so what....if they had instant replay when they started football in 1920's they would have incoporated it.....i told doctor during NFL season he has to up my valium prescription

he does not see it???...i told him either cowboys win or more valium....that is my prescription....dr thinks i am crazy....hey when you quit drinking why not help a guy out???....

Everybody knows Jarwin blew it. Zeke knows, Jarwin knows. What good could possibly come of Zeke telling the media that Jarwin sucks at blocking and it was his fault Zeke didn't score? You do that, you start losing trust among your teammates. Then it's over.

Woody--oh now i read your post instead of title only...i meant the other red zone pass play when Zeke did crossing route too shallow....and got pushed out of bounds...if he had gone deeper no one in endzone to stop him

You gonna run that play at least have a better blocker in there then Jarwin. He makes the block. Zeke walks in. That's on Moore. Know your personnel.

The other part I didn't like was that it was an option pitch rather than a power toss. The option pitch is more lateral and harder to catch, requiring more concentration on the ball and less on getting upfield. But I guess the option was used to hold the DE and the playside LB for a beat. Mainly I think Zeke took too long to recognize that Jarwin had whiffed and as such had no momentum when he finally did decide to attack the goal line. By then the DB was up in his grill. If he doesn't hesitate and attacks the DB's outside shoulder he probably carries him into the end zone. So Zeke is correct to take some of the heat for that play failing. He even leaves his feet trying to make the spin cut back inside giving up what little momentum he had. Bad play by both guys.. that's my final answer.

Ice tell me ..Jarwin been here since 2017....i dont understand how some people learn to block and others dont????....spend one offseason and hit and grind on blocking techniques...easier to learn to block

then run really good receiver Tree routes.....good blocking= good form and will to take close in hits and keeping lower body square....much easier than learning pro receiver route tree with all its nuances

depending on defender.....make me so upset...Zeke is Monster blocker in passing game since teen in college..why? cause he wanted to be...Jarwin so wussed out...made me sick

Like everything else in football or life. You gotta want it. Clearly Jarwin didn't. Another NFL business decision

Where was all that supposed Elliott speed and quickness we heard so much about. A back with speed gets to the pylon.

Would Kamara have scored on the same play? Henry? McCaffrey? Pollard?

Yeah, the block was bad by Jarwin. The run by Elliott was just as bad. Even Dak should have ran more to the left with Elliott forcing the DB to pick one or the other.

Had Jarwin just released for a pass the DB would have most likely followed.

The play was there. The execution by Dak ($40M), Elliott ($15M), and Jarwin ($5M) was horrible.

Both are right.

Jarwin should have made a better block and Zeke should have been able to fight off a DB.

Blocking is very much about want to. Jarwin clearly doesn't want to. He runs up to a guy who he outweighs by 30-40 pounds and basically puts his hands out and tries to push him.. At first I thought he had just gotten out maneuvered and missed the guy but on the replay you clearly see the guy stands there waiting to take on the block .. If Jarwin just drives into him and knocks him back one freaking step it's high step in TD for Zeke. I'm gonna give him a partial pass because he hadn't played in almost a year.. but that's a block every receiver and tight end has had to practice thousands of times since Pop Warner.. It should be second nature.. You go to your man.. put your helmet in his chest and drive..
