Why does Zeke look so much more explosive and quick some games compared to others? Against the Eagles he was quick, decisive, fast and powerful. First time all year.

Don’t tell me it was just the oline, I watch the games.

And don’t tell me it was just Cabo, because it’s been a pattern every year.

what gives? Does he loaf some games? Why do his legs look so much fresher sometimes?

Was it just me, orbwas he running..funny?

He seemed to be much lighter on his feet. He always seemed to be falling, tripping or slipping. He just looked.. funny

Seriously. For a lack of a better term, funny is the best description I could come up with.

I don’t think Zeke see saws back and forth.

Zeke is a volume runner. The more he plays and carries, the better he gets.

Zeke also has a history of being a bit of a slow starter. He gets better as the season goes on. That’s been the case his whole career. Zeke has done the same
This year. That’s just who he is. But he is also always playing his best ball in December and January when big boy football is being played.

I’m not worried about it.

he looked much quicker from the first snap yesterday ...nothing to do with in-game volume. Agree on slow starts. Can’t that be figured out with a change in workout regimen? Waiting 3-6 games for your star RB to be at full capability seems pretty silly and a waste of money.

It's because the Eagles were gunning for Zeke's knees. Rewatch the game and pay close attention. They were trying to take him out.

I figured he slipped out and went to Bourbon Street in the Saints game.

The Jets game was also a road game...

Yeah if you look carefully at the video showing Jerry on bourbon street you can see Zeke in the background on the balcony pulling down some creole chick’s halter top. Hey I don’t blame him. I’d be right there w him.

Other seasons it takes about 2 games.

I think missing training camp slowed him
Down this year.

As far as the training goes, it’s quite possible. But again, a long holdout hurts.

Zeke also was playing well by the 3rd game against the dolphins. The saints game..... the offensive line got their butts whipped. The Packers game, Zeke was gashing them but the score forced us out of the run. The jets game, Zeke played well too. Not elite running but he had like 150 yards from scrimmage.

You must have missed my numerous posts on Zeke...let me rehash :muttley:

It takes Elliott 4-6 games to get into Zeke hurdle a defender shape.

Zeke gets zero meaningful live carries in training camp and Preseason. He doesn't have Saquon's off-season training discipline

I like Zeke a lot as a player.

But a few less Coronas in the off season would
Probably do him good.

It's clear pattern..from his 2nd and 3rd year. Zeke is a stud athletically because he's a track ( Sprint) athlete that can play football.
It takes him a couple of games for his wind to kick in...
