Does anyone know how fast Zeke is at the moment?

[diamonddelts]

Ah....insulting my man card eh? Classy.

I see you didnt watch the video i gave ya. Just as i surmised.

I did not mean to insult you. I apologize if it came across that way. And I will admit Zeke looked effective in that highlight reel. Though I did not see him move any piles.

I saw him get 1-2 yards after contact against cornerbacks. Which is effective. But cbs should be breakfast toast against any 220lb+ back with some power. I mainly saw him falling forward over cbs when he should be mauling them.

Luepke and Elliott ran the same 10 yard split per wiki.

What they currently run?

He's slow.

By NFL RB standards.

source?

Anyone with two eyes and a brain.

He clearly got slower and less explosive in his time in Dallas. So it seems pretty improbable that as he got even older outside of Dallas that he somehow got faster. Dowdle and Davis are faster at this point and those two are middling NFL TBs.

Be glad you specified RB. If you said slow for an NFL player you would be accused of being dishonest. Since Zeke is faster than DL and OL players.

You said nfl standards. That implies if not requires measurements.
Oh you measured if with your eye on tv. Ok.

Not accused. Is. Its on the reel

Zeke can outrun any Defensice tackle or offensive lineman in the league. He’s a speed demon.

Ah...I see what you did there. I missed it the first time.


I find it very interesting people have to make up this stuff to trash zeke. It's fun for a little bit, but doesn;t it get old?

 

[JW82]

He is slightly faster than Rich Eisen.

 

[cowboybish]

In the 10 yard sprint and the 40 yard sprint? What is his maximum running speed on longer runs?

Faster than Coach Mac to a hamburger and fries

Im surprised this one took so long. You guys need to up your game. We have all summer...come on!

I’m not making up anything or even trying to trash Zeke. All I ever said is he is now slow for an NFL RB.

I wouldn't be too sure about that. A lot of those DTs and OTs are running 4.7 or 4.8 40s these days. Mazi Smith at 320+ ran a 4.85 40.

I think people significantly underestimate how much speed is in the NFL. This is a big reason why RBs just don't last long in the league. As soon as these RBs lose that elite burst it's hard to stick around. Not saying these are not still elite level athletes and not saying these guys can't move, but the physical demands of what a running back needs to be able to do in todays game is ridiculous.

I remember several years ago when the NFL tried the veteran combine for free agents. There is a reason they only did that once as it shows just how much these guys deteriorate. Michael Bush was a running back who timed in at 4.91 on the 40. Felix Jones a 4.85

"He can only outrun DT's at OL"?

Yet I posted video of him outrunning LBers and DBers.

But whatever.

Yep...bigger faster...make it way harder on RBs these days. IMPACT!

We get it. You think Zeke is fast. Have at it man.

I also never once said he can “only” outrun DT’s and OL.

Now its you saying something i never said.
