After tonights game, he has 223 carries for 866 yards and 12 tds for 3.8 ypc. He may not even reach 900 yards for the season, I honestly don't think he should be a featured back anymore, I don't see how Dallas can justify keeping him at his salary

You're crazy, Zeke is an elite short yardage RB.

If that. Its to the point where its just sad to watch. I would rather give the ball to Davis than Zeke.

This realization is several years old. Zeke is even worse than I thought.

He plays hurt and doesn't puss out

Elliott is a shell of himself, but what concerns me more is our run blocking. No running back can help you if they're getting stuffed at the line of scrimmage.

I’ve been saying for months there’s no evidence he’s good other than his name. You can get an undrafted guy like Malik Davis and even to someone watching a football game for the first time, he’s clearly more explosive and elusive than Zeke.

Being able to run over people for a three yard gain is only an asset in short yardage situations. I wouldn’t even want him back as backup. Maybe third string short yardage specialist for close to,the veterans minimum.
