I don't follow certain posters I just read the content and comment on things I disagree or agree with, so I have no idea who you are. My question to you. Who is your GM?

Unfortunately Jerry Jones who can't find a real coaching staff

No chance imo. If he signs and gets a practice in he gets full compliment of snaps with Pollard getting the 10-12.

For Zeke to get his normal workload AND Pollard get 10-12 carries, they would have to be running the ball a hell of a lot - more than in past years. And remember, it's not just that they have to worry about Zeke being in football shape, there is also the fact that the offense has been tweaked and adjusted and everyone else has had 6 weeks or so to learn and work with those things.

Can you even give him that much? With the changes to the offense, can he be trusted to really understand the terminology & timing with 1 practice or no practices? I get that some of it is the same base play with more motion, etc., but one collision in the backfield resulting in a turnover would be pretty damaging.

Maybe let him be more of a decoy, pass pro & catch a pass or two. Get some hits without taking risks of him botching an assignment.

That's a fair question. I assume they can find some basic things he can run, and I would think they want to at least run him enough to shake some rust off, but it would be interesting to see how it plays out.

Let me paraphrase better. Zeke will get his normal workload and Pollard will get 10-15 snaps.

That would be interesting to see. You could be right, but I think the fact that he hasn't been with the team for drills or learning the playbook and whatever tweaks and changes to the offense would have to limit him at least some.

Just my opinion but no way does he sign for what's being reported and he doesn't come in ready to go. Either way can't wait!

His agent fears Zeke being in Dallas.

The agent is worried that once Zeke is around his teammates that he will cave in.

(Yes, teammates hang out together outside of work...)

I think that his agent was the one who tried to influence Zeke to hold out as long as possible. His agent knows he'll get more money lining his pockets, with the bigger contract that Zeke get.

I'll be perfectly fine if Zeke plays on Sunday.

Many of us, myself included, said we will cheer for him on Sundays because we want the team to win.

It doesn’t mean we won’t or can’t criticize him, as we do with all players, but especially ones who sit out and demand that they are paid the highest at their position. He wants to be the highest paid, he better play like it every game and if he doesn’t guess what?

Predict the contract numbers:

Does a 5-year, $75 million extension sound like enough to finally get this deal done?

maybe not, 6 year $90 Mil is whats going around right now

Of course not ...... You aren't a stripper or a " massage therapist" ....... Zeke dates low caliber women ....... I mean come on the kid wears A nose ring.

But he is still a great running back.

True. For the record, I never said he wasn’t a great RB. I just don’t like him as a person and I don’t value the RB position as much as others. Combine the two and that sums up why I’m against giving Zeke that much money.

I will say he wouldn’t be nearly as “great” behind the majority of O lines in the NFL but that can be said for any RB’s success or lack thereof. He’s just been very, very fortunate since he was in college and if he ran behind AZ, NY, Miami, etc O line he wouldn’t have the stats to back up his demands.

That’s why it’s important to not blow the cap on a couple players but if I were to do that, it would be largely focused around the O line. Luckily for us and Zeke, the Cowboys have done a tremendous job of not only drafting but locking down our O linemen for years to come.

"I received some information that Zeke and his team are on their way back to Dallas. It's going to be a 7-year deal and it'll be a mega deal, one that's going to shock a lot of people… I do believe Zeke Elliott will carry the ball on Sunday for the Cowboys." — @ShannonSharpe

bet he doesn't

CPanther95 · Sep 3, 2019

Jerry's thinking, "With all the frequent flyer miles he's racking up, I bet we can knock off a couple million at the last second".

deadlines make deals has been my stand since the beginning.
