Yea. It’s average. Out of 17 carries only 2 were for more than 5 yards. That’s VERY AVERAGE. He had 109 yards with 94 coming off 2 carries. 15 yards on the other 15 carries. What don’t you understand about that? His 68 yard run came when the defense was playing pass on 2nd & 20. I’ll admit. It was a great call by the coach. But nothing spectacular by an NFL running back. They all can do that.
Where did you see me post anything about a prevent defense? I said we were fooled by the run call because we were expecting a pass and that’s exactly what happened. It’s you who is making stuff up. Not me. I’ve played and coached football. I know what I see. You y’all like Barkley just beat us up with his savage runs all game. Out of 17 carries, how many were for more than 4 yards?
Barkley might have more raw ability. It would be interesting to see what he could do behind this OL.
I realize it’s a long ways to go but if Barkley keeps doing what he’s been doing then he will be in the same category as OJ and Sanders.
So based on your comment, total yards is what determines the best running back? BTW, he wasn’t drafted number one.
I have to give it to you Aria. I didn't realize Barkley had no fumbles and didn't realize that Zeke had six. That is an impressive stat. I commented in another thread about Zeke's durability but Barkley certainly is impressive. I knew both coming in would be amongst the top backs. I'm hoping that if Zeke gets to play all year that he will score more touchdowns. Hoping for 12+ at least. We shall see. I love watching both run even if Barkley plays for the enemy.
I get so sick of people calling me a troll or anti Cowboy because I don’t like Zeke. I’ve stated several times I don’t like him as a person but that doesn’t mean I don’t cheer for him on game day. I’ve also said I think he his the 2nd or 3rd best RB in the league but some people think because I think Barkley is slightly better then I’m not a Cowboys fan. It gets old.
It's nice to see someone else give credit where it is due. Aria brings facts and stats to a debate which is a freaking breath of fresh air.
I just hope with Fredbeard returning this year we have a much better line. Zeke needs it and Dak needs it. Isn't it amazing, a rational discussion about a player? They're both amazing players. Let's hope ours gets his crap together.
Love it brotha. We're all Cowboy fans and I appreciate the comment.
Not me.
Possibly, but EZ is even closer to that conversation!!!!
While I don't think Barkley has played long enough yet to put him that high, I can agree w/ what you're saying.
