So he played on a torn pcl in the week 18 match-up why? Any rest to give his bum knee some juice today would have helped

So why didn't KM use TP in this game knowing Zeke's condition? Is KM too afraid to tell Zeke to sit?

I can not find fault Zeke for fighting through this. I find fault with the coaching staff for watching pollard outperform Zeke and not staying with the guy who is running much much better. Putting Zeke in as a blocker then running him sparingly would increase his production while utilizing his strength.

I wholeheartedly admire Zeke’s toughness, but question a coaching staff that continued riding the clearly injured back in lieu of his explosive backup who outperformed him.
Agree. Total incompetence in the coaching room. Our backup is great and we would rather play an injured has been. Geez

And let's be clear here............ what we see now, a TB that has broken down and gotten injured, wasn't that hard to project. In fact, what makes this worse is the Cowboys had all this data about how RBs break down after certain usage when they decided to cap their offer to Murray back in 2015. When he signed with Philly, Jerry and Stephen came out and laid out all this talk about what their data and analytics people said and hence why they couldn't just outbid everyone for Murray.

So they had this information. They had the same data most of us who did not want to resign Elliott had. They also had the benefit of seeing how big contracts burned Philly and how the Rams couldn't wait to dump Gurley after his extension.

And yet, those two dipwads thought they were smarter than everyone else and went against the data and trends and handed a TB the largest TB contract in history. And now they are choking on it. Jerry got dazzled by the allure of Elliott. And it's kicking us right in the ***.

Some people will try to credit Zeke for being tough. No, he’s part of the problem. Same pattern of being stupid.

I mean Aaron Rodgers did call him an idiot for a reason. Pretty sure he wasn’t just trying to bully him.

KM and MM should be walked off the plank for not letting Pollard have 15+ touches a game.

You could explain the situation to someone who has no understanding of football and they would laugh at you running zeke as the number one back

Is been said over and over. Pollard can't block. Only reason zeke was still playing.

Huh. It’s almost like they should have used Pollatd more.

Weird.
