Complacency + average OL play.
Also a change in offensive coordinator who doesn’t seem interested in the run game. Majority of runs go up A gap with the running back getting handoff standing still beside QB in shotgun

I can't believe he was playing when Pollard and the other running backs hit the hole so much harder and quicker.

It made no sense. I think it comes from Jerry so I don't want to hear him on the radio complaining that he's losing games when he's putting players in positions where they don't need to be. Zeke did not need to be playing.

I think really it was because how badly the O-line was performing. They needed Zeke to block more and Pollard isn't as good blocking. Fix the O-line and we might see Pollard a lot more.

For Zeke, the NFL was always about the money and getting his family in better conditions. Not like when Emmitt came in and his goal was to be the all time leading rusher. Sure money comes in it too, but his mindset was to be the best. Not that there is anything wrong with Zeke's mindset....in this era, I would think most players are money driven. Get that big second contract, and then who knows after that depending on their health. So I don't see Zeke playing for lesser money or the love of the game.
different time different mindset

That too. Our run schemes have been atrocious.

A new Bell Cow would be nice, but we have other needs. A new OC and OL Coach, and concentrate on the trenches. If our OL is fixed, we’ve got Zeke, Pollard, Clement, Ito, Knox and Hardy—plenty!

Zero reason to draft any RB before Day 3 in this day and age.

Pollard has 1 year left on his deal and Zeke should be cut after next season.


It’s time to scrap paying RBs and make sure you have fresh legs in the backfield.

Don’t pay RBs big money.

Who is the best RB left in the post season and how much are they getting paid?


Everyone still playing right now is in it because they have a legit QB besides the 9ers.

Dallas probably needs to copy what the 9ers do.

And my point remains. We have other needs that are more urgent. I never mentioned big salaries, or QBs, but now that you mention it, what did Rodgers and his team do? It’s a team game that begins in the trenches.

What did Burrow do after being sacked 9 times after his trenches failed?

Stop with cliches please. No championships were won yesterday.

If you watched the 9ers game at all you would’ve seen plenty of times their OLine got their butt whipped. The game was won by a blocked punt. They couldn’t even score a TD lol.



The NFL is built to be 50/50. Parity.That’s why they pay QBs so much more than everyone else. Most teams are the same and QBs are the difference.

I don't think Zeke's parents were really destitute. I was told that His mother owns a decent size farm in IA. Which she inherited.

Even if this is true, ESPN and sports media will still portray him as if they were on relief…….and more importantly, no matter how many millions are made, they will never be labeled as part of the 1% in their gated communities.

I’m not sure what the reasoning is behind this, but they are consistent with it.

I simply disagree. Accept it.
