Dallas does miss Zeke

[RomoIsGod]

Yes, why aren't they using Luepke more often?

 

[erod]

YES BUT WE DON"T MISS HIS 16 MILLION DOLLAR PRICE TAGS FOR ONLY BEING A REDZONE TOUCHDOWN MACHINE! Anything else, he's doing what pollard is already doing before getting to the red zone, 1 yard gain, -2 yard gain, 2 yard gain, 1 yard gain

I definitely miss red zone touchdowns.

 

[Coogiguy03]

Agreed. Didn't need to wait til the 6th to draft Vaughn. The guy is just too small to play in the NFL. He's getting trucked out there.

facts

It's not that simple. If you want Zeke it costs you $18M a year.

So looking at it like that the answer is easily NO Dallas doesn't miss Zeke badly.

Additionally, did you watch the last 6 games last year? His 1.8 ypa isn't missed one bit.

This team can't score. It can't convert short yardage. It can't pick up blitzes.

They miss Zeke badly.

Yeah it's like these days we're scared of success down there, "get in the red zone, uhh nah coach, I don't want no parts in that!" lol

Say what you will but Dallas misses Zeke badly. His 12 tds sure helped shore up that redzone and helped make Pollard elite.

Need to trade for a big back. Or start running Pollard outside the tackles.

I'd really like to see them give Leupke more opportunities both in short-yardage and in the passing game.

It seems like McCarthy does, because he keeps running Pollard into the middle of the defense and expecting success like you could get from Zeke before he got worn down.

Dowdle runs strong up the middle - He should use him a bit more. Giving those carries to Pollard is useless and just wears him down. No reason Pollard should have 20 carries in a game.

LOL stop.

 

[aikemirv]

Where is Malik Davis?

I liked Malik last year. He is shifty up the middle and I thought he did well.

No you miss Zeke.
There hasn't been situations in the game where Zeke would make a difference, the redzone issues aren't on the RB. Also, I'd take Hunter Luepke over Zeke as a short yardage RB.

 

[Tabascocat]

They miss a RB1, not necessarily Zeke though.

No we can't do that, someone doesn't like this so we'll continue to do the same thing, sorry friend

good point

 

[Creeper]

We don't miss Zeke, although I do think Zeke would still be useful in some situations, just not for $15 million.

What they miss is an offensive line that can move people off the ball and create gaps for the RBs to run through. Pollard can run up the middle if you give him some room to run. But you watch the offensive line run block and they really aren't beating anyone. I watched the Chargers game again and focused on the OL. I have no idea what is wrong but there was no running room anywhere. The blocking has to get better.

That isn't why they aren't scoring.

 

[diamonddelts]

We don't miss one blade of grass per carry.

 

[nightrain]

I would suggest they missed an opportunity to get better at the position.

 

[maryquality]

Yes, why aren't they using Luepke more often?

I agree. Why doesn't McCarthy use Luepke more? Did he piss him off or something?

 

[The Natural]

Pollard averaging the same blade of grass per carry.
