I really wouldn't call it a sophomore slump. I think that's too easy. I'd probably call it second year growing pains or getting a whiff of reality. Yes, Zeke is a comfort blanket back behind him. Very versatile in what he can do. What I saw in Dak in 2016 I didn't see in 2017. In 2016 if he made a mistake, had a bad half or quarter or series he put it behind him and lead the team right back. Including the last game with the Packers in 2016. It was very impressive. I didn't see as much of that "put it behind you mentality in 2017". It really showed when Zeke and Tyron were out. I guess 8 sacks in one game and 16 or 18 in 3 will do that... shake your confidence. Have to hope that we get Tyrons back issues figured out this off season and hope Zeke keeps his nose clean. I still have confidence in Dak to take us further
