When was the last time Zeke made a defender miss?

I'll say this, Zeke doesn't look explosive.

Powerful? Oh yeah, he's certainly strong, and he continues to move the pile forward upon contact.

But explosive? Shifty? Capable of making the big play?

I'm not seeing that.

Agreed. His quickness and agility are noticeably down this season. I’m hoping he’s still getting into playing shape? Preseason does serve some purpose...

Plenty of broken tackles in this video. Funny how people can't or dont want to remember just a week ago.

Watch the top 5-6 RBs in the league and it’s night and day how much more agile and explosive they are.

Kamara makes Zeke look like a 2nd stringer. Even James Connor shows more power and ability to break tackles.

Zeke doesn’t make anyone miss. Stats prove it. 2 broken tackles through 4 games. Worse than most backups

I disagree.
In order for a RB to get in a one on one scenario, the O line would have to provide some sort of hole to run through.
Stupid stat to use.

Especially when the entire offense underachieved. Good God, you can't even admit that.

Pollard and Zeke have forced the same missed tackles this year.

I was afraid this would happen to Zeke. Doesn't Zeke want to be the best? So far, nope. BTW, San Luis Obispo is beautiful. But I got kinda of lost getting to the Mission San Luis Obispo.

How about last week? And in Week 2 against the Skins he left 2 DBs in the dust for a long game to close out the game. People here have short memories.

no they are just idiots, they always have to blame someone, not the team because it’s the ultimate team sport, but they have to single out 1 person maybe 2/3. Zeke deserves the little money he got, he is a complete RB. If I were you I would just laugh at all the idiots that say differently

Yeah, it’s downtown but sorta tucked away behind Higuera St. (the main commercial street).

He made Jerry miss on that contract negotiation. That count?

I’ll admit I’m a little worried that zeke is or will turn into an average running back. And a lot of it has to do with his agility just doesn’t seem elite and seems noticeably worse.

JohnsKey19 · Oct 1, 2019

Still a great RB but not the same athlete we saw in 2016. It started with the noticeable change in physique in 2017 and now it's probably a combination of that and wear/tear.

The coaches need to learn to mix Pollard effectively into the game.

He's too caught up with his raging party scene, nose rings, Q-tip hair, and feed-me showboating. His lifestyle is taking a fast toll on his athleticism.

Trust me, you're the one coming off as an idiot.

The problem is even though Kellen Moore is calling the plays and may add a few wrinkles to the look. Dallas is running the exact same plays they have been under Garrett. There is no game planning or scheming to get players the ball in space.They dont even create plays to move the pocket and have Dak throw from outside the pocket. Why isnt Zeke being used in the passing game. We watch Kamara line up all over the field and he will run those drag routes underneath the LBs and then turn in up field. Nothing is different with this offense! Garrett is a lazy coach who doesnt believe in preparing and adjusting this offense for the opponent.

You can believe PFF or you can watch a 2 minutes clip from the Commanders game and count about 6 broken tackles in about 10 carries.

You choose.

You guys can keep repeating the same picked, single picked stat and ignoring the offensive unit as a whole, I couldn't care less. The O line issues are real. Just like Elliott being unproductive minus a game this season.

AmericanCowboy · Oct 1, 2019

When we signed Zeke, I said we paid him and allowed him to have an extended vacation.

Some people were upset I said that- because apparently Zeke is incapable of lying so when he says he was training hard, you better believe he has!

The fact is he has looked terrible this year. Jaylen Samuels last night looked like a much better player than Zeke. And the two shouldnt even be remotely close, and yet that is what my eyes are telling me.

We? That was all Jerry. I would have preferred leaving him in Cabo. The team would have been fine moving on from that greedy, lazy punk and letting Pollard carry the load.

I think we will look back a few years from now and realize we didn't get the value from that contract extension.

So wait. It's not fair to point out the poor play of Zeke because the whole offense stunk?

Then why are we paying our TB the most money ever for a TB? At that price, Zeke has to be the guy that carries this offense. If he suddenly can't be very good because of the OL or the QB or whatever, guess what? We were then dumb to give a TB all that money.
