Cowboys Running Backs

[JoeKing]

Zeke is fat.

 

[Garrettop]

Pollard is a "scatback" tho, I was toadaso right here on this board.

 

[Oz-of-Cowboy-Country]

There is definitely some breakaway speed in that group.

............looking at that list. If I was Zeke I'd be a bit worried. 2 of those have the markings of churning into Grade A cowbell milk. All we need is someone to keep the offense open.

All this shows is why the scouting combine and workout numbers means almost nothing when it comes to success at this level.

This is a joke right?
please tell me I missed the sarcasm?

looking at workout numbers and size stats tells you absolutely nothing.
This is the same crap that gets the nerds all hyped up for Darius Jackson just to watch him get cut by multiple teams.

stop it!!!

 

[Ranching]

They are all small.

....I wasn't talking D. Jackson but Weber and Pollard. We've yet to see what they can do. Zeke wanting Hollywood money, can backfire.

Most RBs are in that size range.

If not, they are usually smaller (Sproles, Phillip Lindsey, Austin Ecklar)

Yep.

It is what is between a RB’s ears and what is in his chest that makes him an Ezekiel Elliott... or a Darius Jackson. Vision, toughness, instincts. It’s not about what you measure at the combine.

Yeah I don't see that. They seem to have average size to me.

I think Pollard is going to be pretty good. When people think of him as a "web back", I don't think they realize he's bigger than Weber. Same height as Zeke, just less weight. He's fast on the field, which is more important to me. And he's tough to bring down for DBs, with his reception and route running experience, that's a valuable asset. He's also quick and experienced enough to cause matchup problems against LBs. He's a valuable piece in the new age NFL.

He didn't do a lot of running between the tackles in college, but he still averaged over 7ypc on almost 110 carries his last two years. Also means he has more tread on the tires.

Obviously if Zeke misses time, who knows. I have no idea if Weber or Jackson will be able to do anything. But, as a backup, if we're serious about taking advantage of matchups and using more shifts/motion, disguising roles, Pollard will probably end up being pretty successful for us.

How much of that 225 does Zeke’s cranium take up.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

Thanks for posting x.

Hey, we all miss you on the “Media rumors are not FACTS” thread regarding Zeke’s non-holdout?

 

[Batman1980]

I imagine about 200 of it is that hair.

 

[Tangle_Foot]

And yet the numbers that's holding this whole thing up are the contract numbers

Yup. I wouldn't go above 25 for Dak, 16 for Zeke and 13 for Coop. It's not up to me, though.

Don’t you think there is a reason these guys were not drafted #4 overall and Zeke was?

 

[Batman1980]

The Zeke situation only proves to me why RBs aren't worth using a top 5 pick on.
