Did Zeke have any lingering injuries?

I know exactly what I am talking about. You need to get a clue about play calling in the running game.

Lol no you don't, Zeke is done

Just the knee. There is a ton of miles on him. Very little tread left. Still has good vision but the speed and burst are gone.

In high school, the junior and senior years he had 3957 yards.

At OSU he had 4410 total yards.

At Dallas he has 8262 yards plus 2,336 receiving another 393 + 65 in the playoffs.

That's 19,423 total yards.

I'm wore out just thinking about all that.

I don't buy the worn out theory. Why is he different than any other running back in NFL history? The players are bigger and hit harder? HS. Go back and watch some games from the 80s and 90s, they're hitting harder because the rules were a lot more lax. There is no reason why a 23 year old should lose his burst. Absolutely no reason.

Imagine defending a rb that had less than 900 yards rushing and 3.8 yards a carry

So Moore was the problem for Zeke…but not Pollard? How does that make sense in your brain?

And also, every RB (or player in general) in the NFL has nagging injuries by the end of the season. The problem with Zeke is he’s already a step slow so nagging injuries + a step slow = 2 steps slow and no longer affective

I guess you don't have a sense of humor. My brain works perfectly fine.
Didn't the give you a clue?

I have not been happy with the run game for most of the season. Zeke is no doubt heading over the hill, but Pollard was not really doing great things either. Granted, he put up better numbers than Zeke, but I think that was because of his speed and quickness more than anything. I just feel the run blocking schemes were at least part of the problem.
