They don't have that kind of time.Work out for him today it appears. If he passes muster it's all about compensation. PS. They should have him run a 40 against Zeke.

Norv Turner was literally running the Coryell offense.Zeke leading Rico through the middle of the line composed of Tyler Smith, Zack Martin, and Cooper Beebe.
The Cowboys wouldn't do that all the time or even in every game. However, depending on the opponent, they could do that in the redzone or they could use it to protect a lead late in the 4th quarter.
Defenses today aren't built to stop a power running attack featuring a two-back formation. There would also be opportunistic passing plays that could take advantage of defenses built for speed and not size and strength.
To win in the NFL, a team has to look at the most popular offensive trends along with the types of defenses built to stop it. Then they build an offense that is the opposite of that trend and for which NFL defenses are not built to stop.
In the late 80's, early 90's, it was all about the 49er style sophisticated offensive gameplan with multiple dynamic scoring threats. The defenses needed quicker OLB's and DE, sacrificing size for speed.
Jimmy Johnson built a monster O-line with the toughest, hardnosed RB in the game and rammed him right up the defense's gut. Then the moment the safeties had to get closer to the line to defend the run, it was time for the Playmaker and his squad to run free.
There was no complex designer plays, it wasn't a game of chess. The opponent knew what the Cowboys were going to do. Sometimes the Cowboys told them. They still couldn't stop the Cowboys. It was pure brute strength and guys like Gogan, Allen, Newton, Tuinei and Williams were unapologetic bullies.
They set the west coast offense, Coryell offense and any other prolific passing style on pause for a decade.
No better time…Well at least it means they're kicking the tires on any and all available RB's. So I'm ok with that.
He's washed up. He's been washed up for a few years.Well spade you’re wrong Zeke is not washed up

You could have stopped there. Zeke had 2 30+ yard runs called back by penalties last season not to mention a 75 yard TD reception. I think he can go the distance just fine. The line just has to block (not hold) and he will be fine.I don't think Zeke can even run 19 yards anymore. Lol
If you haven't heard it's because you weren't listening. It was reported that during the first joint practice he had multiple house call runs.. Pretty much after seeing him rip the Rams defense a new one the coaching staff decided they had seen enough and decided to put him in bubble wrap until September 8th. They might just have been hiding him from prying eyes so they can cut him loose on the Browns.I’m wondering about that same thing.
I have yet to hear a good report about Zeke and from what I have heard, they even hide him during open practice.

If it is 3rd down and the Cowboys need 2 yards, Zeke will get 2 yards.

Nothin wrong with kickin the tires on a guy.If they're still in the market for a RB why not just keep Freeman? Freeman looked good in the PS games!
Lol.Gotcha. So Zeke can break long runs if the blockers are holding.
Thanks for clearing that up.
There’s like an extra emphasis on reminding us he’s washed like it’s personal. We get it. I don’t know Im just sensitive when it comes to certain guys. People did it with Witten to. These are our legends but you know it is you don’t get respect unless you die or retire.
