EE 60 yard Highlight Multiple Angles

[Clove]

15 carries, he averaged over 8 yards per carry, he scored two Touchdown's and the Cowboys won. Ideal scenario... unless you own him on your fantasy team. And you didn't answer the question...nor do you have to...

Could you explain to me what we're saving him for? The guy's only 21 and only have 15 carries. In my opinion he should have at least 25 carries no less than twenty a game.

Why does it matter so much if the Cowboys are winning? Will the lack of carries haunt the Cowboys later?

Have a cut throat mentality or get cut. Leave no doubt... This is how New England plays, this is how they win. When you are down, they stomp on your carcus. We ease up.

I wish I could have heard the Bengals announcers in this game. Their color commentator is an annoying imbecile who grunts, yells and cheers (Yeah! Get him! Etc.).

The dreaded "over 370 carries" in a single season is real. Most backs don't survive it. I wouldn't want to take the chance. Especially, with a talent like Morris behind him and needing some carries.

I think it's a smart well thought out move to lesson his carries a little.

I love how smooth and effortless his stride/acceleration looked. Was like an Eric Dickerson/LT hybrid.

He's got that smooth, gliding yet powerful stride. Dickerson-like. I'm guessing his track background helps here. You can take a look around the league at all the RBs and WRs, and only a handful will have similar strides.

 

[Tommy]

He had 15 carries dude. Get real

What's wrong with 15 carries in a blowout win?

Dang it! Did we win wrong again?

 

[Macnalty]

16 game schedule no one escapes the injury bug. When you have Alfred Morris as a backup keep your #1 fresh.

 

[tyke1doe]

he went 0-60 and touchdown from our 35 in 8.5 seconds?

So. He isn't as fast as Dorsett. Did you see Dorsett play? Dorsett had Deion speed. Elliott is not that fast.

 

[Staubacher]

I like how they are using Morris. He is an above average NFL back and it keeps Zeke fresh.

 

[aikemirv]

I don't like seeing him come out but it is the smart move. Its not like Morris averaged 2 yards a carry either!

I got a feeling that that play was designed to go for around 10 yards or close to the first down,the hole was so huge because 2 guys decided to follow old man Witten for some reason and vacated the middle completely.

The hole was huge but the way he cut into it took some skill.

It was perfectly timed by him. Great playcall.

I guess the question is will EE hit the rookie wall ? A game we put away early with him just getting 15 carries maybe it is smart to let morris get more of the load. What can it hurt ? I would rather have a fresh EE for the playoffs and not take the risk of hitting the infamous rookie wall.

Secretly I would like to see him take dickersons record! but not at the risk of losing him for the playoffs !

Fine Line Tough Decisions - do we unleash the beast or hold him back ? glad i'm not the coach

Admittedly, I do hate their tendency to let up on the gas pedal with a lead. But I still like the way they used Zeke against the Bengals. His reps were limited, but the quality of those reps overshadows the quantity in this case and was really the best case scenario of their gameplan.

Wow, I had not noticed that until I saw this video. Great play design, teams have been starting to sit on that flat route to the TE, in case Prescott bootlegs, this play is a great counter punch to that strategy.

 

[erod]

If that was Demarco Murray, Alfred Morris, or Darren McFadden, it would have been a really nice 20-yard run.

THAT is why you draft Zeke over Jalen Ramsey. That right there. And it will happen multiple times this season and going forward. Period.

He was just pulling away from those safeties like they were linebackers. Beautiful.
