Can someone tell me what Alfred Morris has done to be our starting HB?

[darthseinfeld]

Lots of people calling for Elliott to get benched for Morris. Im just curious as to what Morris has done so far this season that you feel better with him as opposed to Elliott

 

[erod]

Nothing. It's dumb.

He had 7 yards today on 5 carries.

 

[CATCH17]

He's young, a former pro bowler, and almost broke Dickersons rookie rushing total as a rookie.

Zeke is fumbling.

 

[CowboyStar88]

Nothing, Morris is a good back but we need to let Zeke work through this.

It's not just Zeke the oline isn't getting the push they should be getting. I don't know what's going on with this unit.

I'm sure the time Zeke missed in TC is also playing a factor. He needed those snaps to build that chemistry with the line. This is why you can't limit Preseason its crucial.

Zeke is fumbling.

But what has he done this year?

 

[CATCH17]

But what has he done this year?

What has Zeke done?


I'm pretty sure we didn't need to use pick 4 to get this type of production.

 

[Risen Star]

It's just what fans do. No patience. No consistency. Just from one extreme to the other week to week.

Apparently their plan was to enthusiastically support starting a rookie until he has some adversity in the league then lead the campaign to bench him.

 

[DallasDomination]

I get it. Let zeke work through it.

But at what cost? If Zeke is fumbling and running into a pile over and over you gotta let Morris get at least half the touches.

 

[John813]

Scores game winning TDs while Zeke tries his best to blow the game.



/S

Honestly, don't care who starts. Zeke looked better(Giants vs Skins) minus the two fumbles.
Just think he should get more than 5 carries a game.

 

[darthseinfeld]

What has Zeke done?

Improved from week 1 to week 2

 

[CATCH17]

Improved from week 1 to week 2

2 fumbles is improving?

Most people that are saying that probably didn't like the pick of EE back in May. People like to try to prove themselves to be correct even when they have no real evidence.

Nonsense... Zeke didn't win the starting job he was given the job because of his draft status. I'm a huge zeke fan btw. But you gotta keep both backs active not just keep pounding the rookie when he's clearly not there confidence wise.

 

[ShiningStar]

2 fumbles is improving?

yes, didnt you know that, fumbling and running into piles is improvement. Making use of your touches is frowned upon. now shut up and take it. next week we need 3 fumbles, piles and losses instead of gains. that 4 on Zeke and passing on Myles Jack is paying off bro. get with it. ya gotta be cheery because its the cowboys and everything the do is pro bowl material.

 

[KJJ]

But what has he done this year?

He scored the go-ahead TD today.

 

[ShiningStar]

my question is, what do you do with McFadden who has a big ol smile on his face.

Huge zeke fan here... but you know who I like more than my pet cats? The Cowboys. And Morris has earned more touches has he not?

He hasn't fumbled the ball.
Doubt anyone wants Zeke benched but he hasn't done enough to warrant carrying the load himself ( yet ), so he should be sharing the load with Morris til he can.
There's nothing wrong with that either, so long as it equals Wins in the end.

He had 5 carries for 7 yards (1.4 average).

EE had 21 for 83 yards (4.0 average) and a TD.

He is a guy whose fumble rate in college was once every 162 touches.. That's something that typically carries over to the NFL. Until he proves its an issue Ill consider todays game an anomaly
