Roy, we didn't stack the box buddy, we ran a base D most all night... reason Cook was able to get to 2nd level and beyond on most runs.

We run the same dumb defense no matter what. When we want to stop the run, we bring a safety down into the box. The reason cook gets to the next level is because he has the speed and actually breaks tackles and makes guys miss.

I guess with no blocking any back can make it happen on there own. It was easy for Cook, h--- I could gain 100 yards against our D if no one will touch me till after 6 yards each carry, that is just there OL blowing up our DL like the colts and rams, nothing has changed with this D. S--- we made Sam D. look like Joe Montana and since he has seen Ghosts till the gnats game.

And then gets hurt and misses huge chunks of the season and is completely unreliable.

..might be fair to say, this might not be his best year. Hey, they happen.

Zeke goes out the game in the middle of drives waaaaay more than emmitt ever did. He looks like he gases quick this year. To me at least.

Its the reason I would never take him in my fantasy draft. I have been waiting for him to get injured all year long.

However, its a great example of a back with speed, moves, breaking tackles and vision. You can see the difference between a guy like Cook and Zeke.

In a vacuum, yeah. You're using this season to grade guys who've been in the league for a while. I know you all want this flashy, shiny, whirling durvish, but even at his best Zeke was never that.

He's still a better back than Cook, he's just not having as good of a season.

Kingofholland · Nov 12, 2019

Zeke is on pace for 1400 rushing yards and 10 tds. That's a pretty good season for an RB these days. Is he the best RB in the league this season? Probably not, but he was the last 4 seasons and has to still be in discussion in the top 3.

We're finding out that Zeke isn't as much of a big play threat as he was in prior seasons. He has 1 run over 20 yards. Last year he had 11. He does look a step slower, maybe it goes back to missing training camp or maybe his physical style play has taken away some speed. Regardless he should continue to be a productive power back for quite a few more seasons.

He is 100% NOT a better back than cook. This was 100% obvious watching the two of them. Zeke is a more durable back, thats all he is.

As I would NEVER pay a back 15 million a year, give me Cook and a guy like Pollard all year, every year over Zeke and 15 million.

However, you are entitled to your opinion.

Huh? elliots better but cook is just having a better season?? :lmao2:

no one is saying cook was better last year or next year lol , we or most of us are talking about THIS YEAR!
quite a few backs are better than elliot this year, and could be next year too.
This year is what matter dude, not last year or 2016 or 2025 etc lol.

And look, one shows up!!

All great backs play against stacked boxes. Aaron Jones leads the league with 9 TD's vs stacked boxes.

Cooks played against stacked boxes as well and he torched us.

You received a perfect lesson in what a REAL RB with speed, quickness, vision, and moves is able to do vs a turd that can only run into the middle of the line.

Your Lack of football knowledge is impressive ...Noone stacks the box in GB they are scared of Rodgers, Dallas didn't stack the box vs Vikings...We were in Base defense...we didn't blitz our S or LBs...I'm done trying to explain chess to a chimp...

Zeke isnt gonna have 100+ every game. He had absolutely no where to go sunday

I agree. No point in talking with kids who dont understand the Chess game of football...they look at stats only

kskboys · Nov 14, 2019

Possibly.

Why, people kneejerking and coming to conclusions based on incomplete data again??

dragon_mikal · Nov 14, 2019

Good players have bad games...sometimes even bad seasons.

Zeke has proven he can be the best so I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt for now.

Is the best back in the nfl?

Anyone out there still thinks it was smart to pay him 15 million?

I do as without him you've already seen how life is for us.
Do I really need to remind you bud?
2-11 when Zeke is under 75 yards....

Yeah, I haven't been impressed w/ Zeke this year, seems to lack passion, but that doesn't mean he won't wake up and start running hard again.

You mean like how many people use Zeke’s total rushing yards for the past 3 years to definitively claim why he’s the best? I don’t recall Barkley ever getting the excuse that he had nowhere to run last year but yet again, when Zeke has a good game it’s because he’s so awesome with no mention of the O line (see Eagles game) but when he has a bad game it’s all the O lines fault.

Anyone left thinks Zeke is the best back in the league?
