Dak on possibility of Zeke return: "That sure would be nice."

[Kwyn]

He's not. He's a Seahawks fan. It's in his bio.

Ok. Thanks for that. Seahawks fan on a Cowboy forum?

It would never cross my mind to go to a board outside the NFC East, and even then, I would be respectful.

I hope it happens just to see CowboyRoy's meltdown

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

Move on. It's about a SB. Apparently the Cowboys never got the message in over 28 years.

Without Zeke we are super bowl winners! Yeehaw!

 

[Kwyn]

Pollard much better than fat boy.

Pollard is hurt and, to be fair, is absolutely a crap shoot as an RB1.

Those carries and that yards per get a *lot* harder when you aren’t the “change of pace” guy subbing in after a series or two.

Pollard > Zeke.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Good the team needs him.

For what exactly?

Serious question.

We were all screaming for Pollard to get more carries last year. If he would have averaged 3 more carries per game, only 8 RB's would have had more carries than Pollard. He could have handled those extra carries with NO problem.

Add Pollard to draft pick, Malik Davis, Ronald Jones and Rico Dowdle to form a pretty good RB corp next year.

Has anyone said different?

I think all my points stand.

To be honest, I was not “screaming for more carries”.

I recognize him for what he is.

I feel that most fans are out of step with that.

I hope I’m wrong.

Time will tell.

Depending on when we draft a back, I'm not against it. We have no idea how a later-round back will turn out. We certainly have no idea how cheap signee Ronald Jones will play. And we even have no idea how Pollard will play coming off injury.

I'll say what I've said before, Elliott and Pollard were a strong tandem until near the end of the season when a) both got hurt and b) Elliott was asked to carry a heavier load because Pollard's injury (then the San Fran injury) sidelined him. Through the Texans game (Dec. 11), Elliott had 172 carries for 706 yards (4.01 per carry). Not great numbers, but good numbers for a No. 2 back. He also scored a TD in nine straight games.

Obviously, the question is whether when he hit the wall late in the season, it meant it's all downhill from here. For a vet minimum deal, I wouldn't mind at least letting him compete with Jones, a rookie and Davis to be the backup. The only sticking point I see with that is the team not being willing to cut him if the others are clearly better.

The heck is he supposed to say lmao

"I never like him anyways" lol

All facts!!

 

[Jake]

Nice for what?

Progress stopper and wasted roster space IMO.

I'd take Zeke over Ronald Jones in a heartbeat. Zeke scored 12 TDs and picked up 3rd and 1s. Jones got benched for a 7th round rookie in KC. He brings nothing.

 

[cowboyec]

on a team friendly deal...i'd have 0 problem with it.
i love reunions but i doubt it'll happen.
be cool as hell,tho.

Ronald Jones probably won't make the 53. I honestly don't care about how many TD's Zeke scored or 3rd and 1's converted. They were all very short runs. I'll bet half were 1 yarders. A rookie could do that at a significantly lower cost.

Pollard, draft pick, Davis, Dowdle. Better RB corp than last year.

 

[Techsass]

So are we talking about signing him for the $6m in dead money?

Pollard couldn't do it. That's why they used Zeke. Pollard is not a short yardage back. Davis or Dowdle? Come on.

As for cost, the Cowboys are already out of that contract. If he came back, it would be on the cheap. The Cowboys don't have a proven short yardage RB on their roster. Maybe they'll draft one, but if your answers are Pollard, Davis and Dowdle...yeah, okay. Good luck with that.

Quarterbacks score 12 rushing TDS now, and pick up “3rd and 1s.”. Zeke should see if Jurassic Park has a football team.
