Cowboys Running Backs

[Hawkeye0202]

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.

Nailed it...........

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

Yep they didn’t play for OSU and he did? I’m bn sarcastic I know there’s a talent gap

 

[Verdict]

Conclusions?

 

[America's Cowboy]

Zeke had best hope these guys don't perform well in camp and especially preseason games. He might become expendable.

I'd take the might out of it. Bring in Ajayi and watch him do work while Zeke stews like he did during his 6 game suspension.

Weber did play for OSU

What's the 2nd "20 Yrd"?

 

[Hardline]

No one on this list is going to replace Zeke's production.
Having a pro bowl offensive line does not make an average RB put up great numbers.
Zeke will be on the field when the real bullets start flying anyway.

 

[Rayman70]

Weber was a good rb at OSU. He will make it hard for the team to cut him.

 

[Rayman70]

Weber and Pollard will have outstanding camps and preseason.

Yep, in theory this is a team; and the scheme, game-planning and whatnot are sufficient to make a good team .

That relies on coaching ;
buuuut ... Garrett is terrible .
& Thats why WE rely on SUPERSTARS making superstar plays that are unique and disregard playbook or scheming .

 

[Melonfeud]

............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.

The major down side of having no #21 ,would be in the absence of his superior backfield Q.B. pass protection, of which he's quite good at

 

[xwalker]

What's the 2nd "20 Yrd"?

20 yard shuttle as called the short shuttle.

 

[Melonfeud]

Would've Zeke even been drafted in the top 10 of that 2016 draft ?,were it not for the D.C?

*I'm asking you,cuz' I don't know,,, er,,,or recall the general buzz of the first 10 teams to draft that year,,,but on the surface, gleaned from a casual glance, there's valid ground to stand upon in the pointed claims as to him being a less than the best choice in the expenditure of that rarely obtained & highly coveted draft capital that was spent in his acquisition.

I think Pollard has skills/speed to be pretty good.

 

[Melonfeud]

Weber did play for OSU

There's an Oklahoma State U. ,,,so,I'm in the current quandary of not really even caring ,,,as after I'd cast a glance upon the O.P.'s posted up graphic & immediately determined it was of to small of print for my efforted dissimilation,,,,I'm only here in the thread, as my official FEUDIAN capacity dictates

Weber and Pollard will have outstanding camps and preseason.

Pollard is not a guy you want carrying more than 10-12 times a game if that. Weber's decent but he was easily overtaken by JK Dobbins in that OSU backfield.

Pollard will be used out wide in the backfield to catch passes along with his rb carries. He can also line up with Zeke in the backfield to keep defenses guessing.

 

[Hadenough]

I saw a video on you tube that was talking about Pollard being a very good return guy also. He is smooth runner and with that 4.38 speed is sneaky fast.

 

[Hadenough]

10-12 touches would be perfect to compliment Zeke.
