Last year, Ezekiel Elliott had more than 1,000 yards rushing on first down alone.
That is just astounding. So basically, it was 2nd-and-4 or less all year long. That is easy peasy for an offense, and keeps defenses completely at bay. Avoiding 3rd downs keeps offenses moving better than anything.
It also speaks to Zeke's ability to take it the distance when it's there. His combination of power, vision, and breakaway speed is unique on this roster for sure.
This team desperately needs him on the field. He's the perfect back for that offensive line.
