Won't get it, doesn't need too unless we were 5-11 than you give him the call each time to get something good out of it.

Every single team in the league now knows this is your best shot of beating cowboys. The last month has been full of 'ugly' wins because teams are just going full run prevent. Dak is good but he has been found out a couple of times. Vikings all but nullified him by taking away the safety blanket of witten. It was only the individual brilliance of Dez on a couple of catches that won the game/saved Dak.

Going to be tough sledding for Zeke every game from here on out as teams don't even bother protecting passing game for the first half.

LOL not every defense in the NFL is as talented as the Vikings.

Well considering our emasculated coaching staff has felt the need to replace on all 3rd downs with a complete stiff yeah I doubt he gets there.
WTH is with replacing Zeke with Dumbar.......we are very much like the 90s Lions in this respect. 3rd down and we take the best player off the field, even if all he is going to be, is a decoy on the play. Barry Sanders feels your pain Zeke.

I knew it had been awhile. No complaints, but I knew he wasn't posting those fantastical numbers he once was.

H-m-m, looks like it'll be up to him to prove he hasn't hit the "rookie wall," huh? He's been denying it lately . . .

It's disgusting. Everyone involved in that decision should be immediately fired. It's that bad.

Imagine if it costs them a playoff game.

I don't think he's hit the rookie wall. I think teams have keyed on him so much, yards are harder to get. It doesn't help when he his big runs are called back. :(

Absolutely -- he's lost some of his very best runs to penalties. Actually, I'm hoping he proves there's no rookie wall, since it's been brought up by some in the media lately. He's really not the type to succumb to that type of thing. Also, other teams have been stacking the LOS, that's for sure.

I think the opportunity to break the record is all but gone unless Zeke has a monster game tomorrow...like 200+ yards.

Depending on what else happens in the NFC, the Cowboys may not need to give Elliot a huge workload over the last 3 weeks. I think he'll see significant playing time in the Tampa Bay game, but if HFA is wrapped up...I think we'll see more of Alfred Morris against Detroit and Philly.

He's had 4 100-yard games taken away from him because of penalties........against the Eagles, Ravens, Commanders, and Vikings.

After 12 games, Zeke has 1,285 yards rushing. Dickerson's rookie rushing record of 1,808 is in sight.

524 more yards over 4 games.

Doable. But needs to average 131 per game to hit 1,809.

Here's hoping that Zeke lights up the Giants for 200! :thumbup:

Hey Phoenix...a Cowboys victory tonight.:starspin:
