Everybody getting so defensive over somebody's opinion lol.

I thought he looked a little sluggish and thicker, but it didn't seem to hamper his performance.

I wonder if he put on a little mass to better endure the beating throughout the season.

He looks like he look at the beginning of last year, then he just seemed to look leaner as the season went not worried bout it.

If zeke is out of shape, what can we say about the supposed best RB in the league, Leveon Bell ??

I thought he looked a little slow on that screen pass to the left that he took down the sideline, but then later in q4 I saw his old speed back. I'm sure just a matter of not playing all preseason am's then having to play a full rough and tumble game. Give it a couple more games and everyone will be in peak condition barring any injuries of course.

I think he slowed down a bit to see how the blockers were lining up on the tackle. What he did was baited one to go a bit wide and he cut back in then went to the ground. Stayed in bounds, kept the clock running. Used what, another 35 seconds, kept the NY D on the field longer. Smart play.

McFlabb is a hater, I do not recall him saying anything good at all last year, even after we clinched the division.

As for Zeke, as well as the entire team. This was his first time with that much work all through the PS games and such. Of course to some he will look that way. Especially to those will high expectations. Heck, even Dak was off.

All is good, no concerns going forward.

Exactly that's what I noticed. If that is Zeke 3 to 4 games in he could have took that play much farther.

not so sure, looked like about 4 NY players there and no blockers from Dallas to take them out. Zeke did what he was supposed to do. Get the 1st down, stay in bounds. he had no where to cut back inside, except for the one defender, when he then went to the ground.

McFlabb would know out of shape. I'm sure he was someone out of the speed of the game since he was very limited in preseason so out of football shape maybe
"That's not fat, that's muscle!" I remember McFlabb saying something like that about himself.

Honestly I thought he looked bigger and slower. But I've never thought he was very explosive. Seems like just a bruiser. It works great for what we do. Considering we drafted him 4th overall, i expected some more big time big play ability. And of course I expected him to stay out of trouble but whatever.
