Zeke needs to wake up and earn his money. He had that great play late in the 4th quarter to get down there close enough for the Coop to Coop TD but he was absent the entire game before that. The defense was balling out giving 100% the entire game and I didn’t see that from Zeke. The offense was giving 100% the entire game except for Zeke. Someone needs to put some smelling salts under his nose or give him a blanket party late one night on the road to wake his *** up. If we can get Zeke to play all out, then the limit is the Super Bowl.
You never had any cred and now you are pushing Dak Attack for being the most laughed at poster on this board.

Zeke did a lot of things that won't show up on a box score. Blitz pick ups and help in pass protection. Lunch pail kind of day for both him and pollard. They weren't going to have monster numbers with rush at qb. Cowboys could have came out and tried to run it 40+ plus times but they didn't. When faced with a stacked box, they adjusted and trusted rush to make enough plays to keep them in the game. When they needed a play, they found a way. Amari made a bunch of key catches. Alexander was huge. Lamb did lamb things. Just be glad they won despite difficult conditions. Back up qb. Back up left tackle. Conner holding machine Williams. Wrong gap LVE.

A game they should have lost was won. On to the next game...

Zeke is earning his money, this crap gets old. Minn said going into the game their focus was on stopping the run and Zeke still went out and made plays. Without his play Dallas ends up in OT instead of winning this game.

So glad that I've seen Full Metal Jacket, or else I wouldn't know what a "blanket party" was.

The take of "Zeke" looks slow" is getting ridiculous. The past few years maybe I could understand but the burst is there. It is in comparison to Pollard. Pollard legitimately is a 4.3 guy (pro day) who only ran a 4.5 due to food poisoning (combine). News flash, I could count maybe 6-8 running backs in the NFL that has speed and burst equivalent to Pollard or better. A few of them have a track background too.

Say you don't know football without saying you don't know football.

Zeke ran for tough yards against a stacked box. Vikings game plan was stop Zeke and blitz cooper.
We won.
Always something to cry about though I suppose

He had 50 yards rushing and a 3.1 yards per carry. But it’s not the stats, it’s the effort. While the entire defense and offense were flying all over the field giving 100% Zeke was just getting 3 yards per carry. Three yards per carry in a game where every other player needed to step up, AND DID, to make up for Dak’s absence. Dak needs to stuff some smelling salts up Zeke’s nose and wake his *** up.

"It's not the stats..." oh but here's the stats to prove my point! moronic!

Bad take bro. We all create a bad take thread once in a while. Zeke was not a problem last night. He did well for his part helping gain several key first downs, keeping the Vikings D honest and most importantly sacrificing his body all game long blocking pass protecting for Cooper Rush.
I was wanting him to play the entire game like he did on that game winning drive.

I wonder if some people watch the game or understand it. First off, they put an extra in the box begging Rush to throw it. Secondly, you do know Zekes 3rd and 11 play pretty much won the game?

Yes that was a great play by Zeke. Just want to see him give that kind of effort throughout the game.

Sigh...
Come to the Zone to bask in the afterglow of an improbable victory only to find @Rockport bringing his gloom and negativity.

Damn Haters.

I mean, it's just the eye test but I saw the Vikings stack the box most of the night and make Rush beat them.

Rush beat them.

But I saw them keep their backfield close to the line a lot. I could be wrong.

Rush made a few plays. The defense was the big winner. Even if we had lost this game it would have convinced me that the Cowboys are the toughest team in the NFL right now. That defense is for real and only getting better.

As far as Zeke, he just is what he is. A guy that needs the line to dominate and open up big holes for him to get his yards. GREAT play by Zeke at the end there. Backs are paid to make guys miss and make big plays. Zeke simply doenst do that enough and needs too much help to get his yards.

My oh my...the hatred runs deep.

Zeke had a great game picking up blocks. I am sure several have mentioned that already. You don't have to rush for over a 100 yards and have TD's to have a good game.

2 games in a row Henry has not rush for a 100 yards and now could be lost for the season foot. Say what you want but he (Zeke) is durable.
