Who cares what bias people say? People pout all the time on the sidelines I'm guessing when things aren't going well. Also people in general are too flipping wish washy. One day it's players too happy when a team is losing, next day it's why they looking so down when losing. Get out of here with that junk. He doesn't have waaay too many anything some of y'all are just haters and jealous period. The only issue that is a real problem is the DV if that can be proven to be true. Everything else is just some people looking for reasons to be superior to someone else in being a better person. All this trouble please.

As far as being out of shape I can see how some would say that compared to last year but he isn't walking around like fat B or anything. He still did his thing against NY and if you disagree list the plays where this alleged out of shape business held him back. He don't need a strong message unless he committed DV the rest please

I do think Zeke is so unused to losing like we did Sunday that he was in a real funk. And lets face it, all this NFL crap has GOT to be on his mind. He would not be human if it was not.

He is definitely immature but then a lot of College Stars are; they are a product of the system which coddles and protects them from Jr High on. Some adapt right away like Dak and some don't like Zeke.

Yes he has got to grow up but all this over reaction is just as stupid. Yes he should have hustled but from every angle I have seen there is no way he could have made a play.

It feels like the whole NFL, media, and even some fans are circling around this team like a bunch of vultures ready to see it get taken down. Society loves to build something up, but it loves to tear it down more.

Nobody is blaming him for not "making a play". They're blaming him for not even bothering to try.

Agree
Garrett needs to have a private conversation with him which I hope he's already had

Time to move on to Arizona so we can beat the crap out of them and show everyone

the press and media love to build someone up make them larger than life but then when they prove they are human they enjoy even more tearing them down and joe Thomas knows all about losing

It's Wednesday, lets move on to the Cardinals. He pouted while the team was getting spanked. OK, I get it. He had off the field issues when we drafted him. We still drafted him. Why, cause he can play football. Let's let him play football.

The problem is can you count on him to "play football"................... that's the question that has come up given his actions.

If it really wasn't an issue that concerned the team, Garrett wouldn't be out there saying what he said about having to talk to Elliott and then Jones wouldn't be trying to play damage control later. I think it's pretty obvious the front office and coaching staff has concerns over Elliott at this point.

Doesn't mean he won't straighten out and get back to killing people on the football field.

He didn't look like he lacked burst to me against the giants and sunday he had zero daylight to run to.

wasn't the int about 30 yards away? How far was it? Like I said I would like to see more hustle on that play but I am not getting worked up over it in anyway.

I bet the guy comes out and plays a monster game sunday.

It was like 5-7 yards from him, not 30.

Anyone have a link to this fat pic?

I do think he definitely looks a touch heavier than last season, but not to the degree that it's anything worth worrying about at this point.

So what if it is. There are a lot of players that do that. They just aren't pasted on ESPN every other minute. It's not really a big deal, I'd rather see him pout during a butt kicking than acting indifferent, eating a Hot Dog
Or he could try to motivate teammates like Dez Bryant used to do on the sidelines and have all the media say he is unhinged and blaming everyone else while dividing the locker room.
