If your pom poms make you feel good about one of the highest paid running backs in NFL being outplayed by his backup.
I know right?...how dare I cheer on my team...even during adversity. The nerve.
The thing is I don't believe zeke was "outplayed" by Tony. I think Tony is an excellent #2 "change of pace RB. But the FACT is...I've never seen him, even in college, even HAVE a #1 RB role let alone outplay anyone with it.
Neither have you.
Tony runs different plays then zeke. Tony...as "#2 CoP...get more flash plays, especially in space, and doesn't pound the middle like we ask of zeke. Tony in that role is SUPPOSED to get those big flashy stats, like all of our #2's have done. Until they assume #1, then they flake out.
I'm not saying Tony will do that...nor am I saying he can't be a #1. I am saying I won't proclaim something that isn;t true or hasn;t happened yet.
Then add in the coaching dysfunction...for example running zeke three straight delay handoffs up the clogged middle (Dak literally tripping over center's feet)...then acting like our running game is broke better pass the rest of th game...is STUPID! Lack of serious commitment to the power run game.
Claiming (as a fact) Tony "outplayed" Zeke is extremely simplistic and superficial assessment. Have at it.
