I don't get you guys blaming Ezekiel Elliott

J817 · Nov 12, 2019

It has been established on this site that the Dallas Cowboys are in a terrible situation when it comes to their coaching situation. Garrett and his coaching staff needs to go.

Why are we bashing Ezekiel Elliott when we all know Garrett’s scheme (the one Moore is calling) is trash. Why are we bashing Ezekiel when all of our grandmothers could predict when the Cowboys were going run last game?

Why do we bash Dak when we all know the playing calling is suspect. Why are we surprised with the occasional bad games from Dak when we all know this team lacks leadership and a quality HC?

We may not have seen how good these players are. This team has been held back for years. Why we complaining about star players (Zeke, DeMarcus, Dak, Romo, Dez, Cooper whoever) when the the constant is still clapping on the sidelines?

People love to bash somebody.

It does appear that Zeke is lacking speed/quickness this season to threaten the the outside edges of defenses which allows defenses to focus on inside runs.

I thought Zeke looked quicker in the Eagles game but not before or since.
He did play less snaps in that game which could be part of the issue.
Maybe he is conserving energy early in anticipation of playing 70 snaps.
Then is is tired late in the game from playing 70 snaps.
Pollard played more, Zeke played less in the Eagles game.

Regardless of snaps played, he still looks sluggish compared to games in past years when he was at his peak.

There have been periods of time in previous years where he looked sluggish but then he got back to his peak speed/quickness.

I don't know if he is carrying too much weight or if it's something else.

Demarco Murray slowed down from extreme over-hydration the 24 hours leading up to games. He was desperate to over-come his hamstring and other injury issues.

Maybe because chicks dig the bash?

This is all news to me!

Instead of bashing zeke we should be giving kudos to mike Zimmer for an excellent game plan. Our o-line had a horrible game against the vikes defense. The vikes always had at least one more defender than we had blockers the entire game. Can't complain about the passing game.

We bash Elliot for holding out in Cabo during training camp and being sluggish. He's only got 1 run of more than 20 yards this year...........and we just made him the highest paid rb in NFL history. Why wouldn't we demand he be at least as good as last year?

Dak bashing is slowing. He has been much better since Coopers arrival.

And Garret gets bashed on here more than all of them combined.

EzE looks like he's running in molasses

From what I have seen most on this board have been rightly putting it on the coaching staff. Even his loyal defenders seem to see Garrett as the problem now that another season is almost closed out nine games into the season.

Only other legit criticism I can think of is Zeke but only because he held out and runs behind the most expensive line in the league and can’t get 2 yards with two tries.

It's in our DNA. It's what we do.

Lutonio · Nov 12, 2019

He looks slow. Maybe that's also a coaching thing and they need to change his target playing weight.

GMO415 · Nov 12, 2019

He looks like a guy who got paid and now doesn't give two shhhhhh

Good point. Most of the heat he is catching is because of the dramatic difference in him and Cook. Cook was shot out of a cannon and Zeke looked sluggish.

To be fair Zeke runs with a more patient style and waits for blocks to be set up.

It just wasnt a good game for Zeke and we are all mad at almost everyone. Lol

Well written. I'd like to add for me the run blocking has been so atrocious, particularly for capital spent there. I hate to see anyone get hurt, but I do wonder if Williams going out will help things. I also wonder how Frederick this year is playing compared to Looney last year...

nightrain · Nov 12, 2019

I bash Jerry for making a stupid investment in a RB. Doesn't matter who the back is, you just can't pay that position top dollar on a LT deal.

Because there are a lot of miserable people out there and many of them populate this board. They hate on everything no matter.

Zman5 · Nov 12, 2019

I haven't seen him try to run outside this year. He used to out run a LB/Safety to the sidelines and turn the corner for a big gain regularly early in his career.
He doesn't do that anymore when there were opportunities to do so. Maybe he can't anymore.
