Lame

There is only one person that can solve this fat or PHAT issue.
I demand that Tiffany Thompson release that video now

Dude!

Can Garrett drive home that message? That's the question

Rubber meet road. Let's see how we come out in the game with AZ. If we're flat and players look dejected and we ultimately lose the game, look out. JG will be back on the hot seat with the media as his mantra may be wearing thin. I doubt this happens but will be interesting to see.

Or he could try to motivate teammates like Dez Bryant used to do on the sidelines and have all the media say he is unhinged and blaming everyone else while dividing the locker room.

Lol at Dez being an effective motivator
Guy takes plays off when he's not the target
"Motivate" yourself first before expecting others to follow you

 

[Tass]

all because he didn't chase a guy 30 yards away on an int.

Dude! Does that look like thirty yards to you??? He was the closest Cowboy player standing!

 

[Ranching]

The problem is can you count on him to "play football"................... that's the question that has come up given his actions.

If it really wasn't an issue that concerned the team, Garrett wouldn't be out there saying what he said about having to talk to Elliott and then Jones wouldn't be trying to play damage control later. I think it's pretty obvious the front office and coaching staff has concerns over Elliott at this point.

Doesn't mean he won't straighten out and get back to killing people on the football field.

He'll play football, i'm not worried about that. As for Garrett having a talk with him, what else is he gonna tell the media? Garrett's been around the block, he's seen stuff like this before, as a player and a coach. I'm sure he isn't as worried as some of us. Let's give him a chance to make up for his immaturity. I just hope the courts do.

Zeke isn't fat.

Not a good picture to illustrate your point, he's got some body fat in that photo. He's not in danger of turning into an offensive lineman, but for a running back, he could be leaner.

What happened to the RACK of liquor bottles???? Not that this pic isn't any good....lol

 

[TheHerd]

I need to know that formula.

It's prioritizing leaness above other things. It can be tough for us citizens for so many reasons, but elite athletes don't have the same constraints and priorities we have.

If your living was predicated on your physical capabilities, it seems like it should be easy to stay in tremendous shape. Some of us seem to do it pretty well for no really good reason. I look a lot worse than the fat pic of Zeke in the winter, but by the time race days come around even I have a pretty good look, if I say so myself.

LOL, you just can't win around here.

Meh...just in more of a GUN rack mood.

Pretty simple. Just tell the media it's no big deal. It happens. Move on from the question.

Garrett didn't do that. He very pointedly said they need to speak to Elliott about that and it's not what they expect from a player. I think people are being naïve if they believe the front office and coaches have absolutely no concerns over Elliott at this time.

Pretty funny how people can take a picture of a guy exhaling and call him fat.

The guy was just in the ESPN body magazin a few months ago, I don’t want to share those pics though.

I agree that it's taken out of proportion but I do think the stress of what's gone on has made him a little larger. Exhaling doesn't just make a 6 pack go away. He's obviously still fit but I think he stomach and arms do look bigger overall. I'm just not freaking out right now. I think the fear for some is a Lacy situation

I literally said in another post he was t the 48 and the ball was behind him when his momentum stopped at the 41.

maybe read the whole thread?

Im convinced most of y'all don't know what the expletive y'all are posting about. He isn't a bodybuilder he's a football player and that is cool for what he does. Have you ever saw Marshall Faulk body? I guess if you had you wouldn't be worried about fat Zeke.

Yeah, I should have. Sorry to bust your balls.

The fat picture floating around is from last season. Where everyone thought he was one of the best players in the league.

LOL are you friggin kidding me??

The weight is a issue that can easily be corrected

I'm not even sure if the weight should be described as an issue.

I honestly think Zeke carries more weight at the beginning of the season by design. As the season progresses, he will trim down. I think his hope is by playoffs he will have burned down to his ideal playing weight. If he started out at his ideal playing weight, he runs the risk of burning muscle as the season progresses and becoming weaker. For a player that provides the perfect balance between overall speed and his ability to get that inch, that is a very important consideration.

He looks and plays out of shape...Too much nightlife, not enough dedication to your job...
