Anyone left thinks Zeke is the best back in the league?

[CWR]

Pollard is a great #2 type RB. Most likely wouldn't be great as the primary.

Yeah I kid, although I hesitate to limit him. He needs to be more involved. Its good for the offense and Zeke. Zeke needs that fire under him.

 

[nightrain]

I'm not sure Zeke is even the best RB on the roster.

 

[CowboyRoy]

Okay so our QB is killing it, out WRs are rolling. Does EVERYTHING to be perfect for Zeke to produce?

never seen a rb lose a step in his 4th year

 

[Westcoasthabsfan]

We stacked the box on cooks too.

or didn’t you watch the game?

who was the better back?

Cooks!!!!

Two different systems

 

[CowboyRoy]

Two different systems

Is that an excuse?

so you see no difference in the backs other than the system?

Seems every week, we want another team's RB.....Fantasy Football has skewed many thoughts about our RB with bad run blocking.

Funny, Barkley NEVER got the bad O line excuse last year.

Our run blocking is allegedly that bad but we’re ranked in the top 5 in several categories. Oh wait, let me guess, these stats don’t matter but Zekes total rushing yards make him the best running back

….but he is a different back (Barry Sanders like & bigger). We keep wanting Zeke to be like somebody else as opposed to who has been. We present no screens for Zeke, he gets ignored in the flat, and we keep watching other teams manhandle our run blocking. I don't know what else you want. When Barkley leads the league in rushing 1 time.....holla.

Is it an excuse or do we need to call LensCrafter?

It really has nothing to do with fantasy football, that's a really bad reach. Although fantasy football players watch the majority of games so they would have a better feel for the competition around the league other fans who only watch Cowboy's games.

Regardless, you can tell those that don't watch much football because they think Zeke is the best RB.

That wouldn't be me you describe. I'll take the high road in your assertion, Quincy.

I didn't say it was you, I'm describing a group of people.

Some people fall into that grouping, most don't though.

Exactly.

Not a single one of these Zeke Boyz would have accepted o-line blocking as a legit excuse if Barkley struggled.

Now they’re in here trotting it around like a parade float.

All good.….the bottom line is, as I've said all year....Zeke is the 2019 Fall Guy. We have one or two every year, instead of building a team with playmakers/coaches. Under JG too many have fallen as the scapegoat to disguise the dysfunction. HC, OC Apprentice, Old TE, no team speed, no ball hawks (0 turnovers against Driskel), slow starts, untimely mistakes, continued mistakes, playing down to the competition, red zone issues, predictable schemes, few in-game adjustments, icing Kickers, asking Kickers to nail 58 yarders, .....I could keep going. We find a scapegoat for all of that every year. See my avatar.

Now that's just blasphemous...downright blasphemous. When did that matter.....our TE ain't the best on the roster.

So total rushing yards equals best running back and O line play only matters when Zeke has abad game, not other running backs. Got it. Typical.

BTW, did you notice how misused Barkley was in both games we played against the Giants. Shurmur makes Garrett look like Bellichick.

 

[Playmaker3128]

Guy had two touchdowns today. Purpose of the game is to score. He more than made up for the early fumble.

Apparently it’s a legitimate excuse that only applies to Zeke, not any other running back.

Umm, no.

Scapegoat insinuates that people are blaming Zeke alone for all the team’s ills.
