@Proof...the Cowboys RB League wide is seen SO much differently than on this board. Bad dude! HOF type dude...just hope the clown show gets it right and enables him to guide them to a chip like his HOF predecessors at his position from the Cowboys.

A championchip?? :huh:

Zeke hits harder than Henry....Henry is just big and has a mean stiff arm...

If you watch them run Henry will actually attempt to run away from tacklers where Zeke will crash into defenders

That’s what I wish Zeke would do. Run away from defenders and turn open field opportunities into foot races for TDs instead of target practice on DBs.

I would like to think it is a colloquial term but realize it could just fall into the category of slang. Yes...I am aware that slang can be colloquial BUT based on your response I suspect it falls into the slang category.

Apologies if you never have seen, read or heard the expression.

I've heard it, just think it is stupid.

A bit off topic but.....I saw tape of Zeke in 2016 and Zeke this past season......folks it doesn't even seem like the same RB....just say'n.

Part of it might be that he got fat in Cabo while missing all of Camps and Preseason.

If he works out this year at a normal rate with TC and Preseason he should be fine. I bet he wants to prove it to MM too.

DUHHHHHH

This is obvious.

Only because he could never make contact with Pollard.

Pollard's elusiveness combined with his playing time make him nearly impossible to lay a hand on.

Zeke is also almost unstoppable at keeping him off the sidelines after being winded by 2 runs in a row. Load Management.

TNCowboy · Jan 20, 2020

at this guy. Zeke has played against him exactly one time, and had a middling kind of game against them.

Zeke is just like Dak. He can roll up big #s in garbage time, or against a garbage team like the Commanders or Giants. But when the season's on the line? 47 yards against Philly.

When he's got his all-pro line in front of him healthy, sure he's good then. Put him on a team with an OL like the Dolphins, and he'd be exposed for the JAG he is.

He see's him twice a year.

TheHerd · Jan 20, 2020

Zeke is a talent, certainly a top echelon elite back. I hope not many of here truly doubt that. What we are more concerned about is the amount of cap dedicated to a RB.

My take is that much of what makes a RB effective is the OL and scheme. The dropoff to the next level of back isn't that dramatic, but the cap required to keep an elite back is dramatically higher than a tier 2 back. I'd rather see a massive cap investment on pass rushers and defensive playmakers.

But Zeke wears the star and he's signed so I'm all for him. Anyone trying to sell that he's not elite is not paying attention.

Zeke 300 carries; Henry first at 303 wow what a huge variance form the first lace leader..THREE(3) carries..

yea right load management BS narrative.. Hes allowed to pull himself for blow or to shake off a big hit and then right back in vs a RBBC where the coaches pull you in and out.. he still was nearly first in the league in carries.. funny how he is out all the time..newsfaksh other backs are on the sideline more , a lot more.. zeke had the second most carried in the league..

ignorance..

Henry is strong like bull, but runs a little high. You can get to his body if you can avoid his stiff-arms.

With Zeke, he comes in low and hard, so if you take him on high, he's going to knock you back. You've got to get even lower than he does. As Leonard said, he gets behind his pads.

This is 100% accurate.

SportsGuru80 · Jan 30, 2020

Now that's respect because that young man can play. Zeke's low center of gravity make him harder to tackle. Henry is a brute but he runs very upright therefore exposing more to tackle.
