Elliott is a goal line/short yardage back

[Coogiguy03]

Crazy how a rb with decent speed can make this line look that much better. NFL holes are fickle things and when they open you got to get through them quick. Zeke can’t do it.

Yet people still feel he's great or whatever, I love seeing other backs run it, just to show how effective we are without him

 

[Coogiguy03]

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.

See but that's the problem he thinks every run he needs to run over people which is slowing him down, just run!!!

When can the homerism end and we all state the obvious, Elliot is the most overrated back in the league. His nickname should be when falling forward looks good. He was the second best back for the Cowboys again, but getting paid elite money.

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

He either reworks his contract this off-season or he's gone, unless Jerry has fallen in love with him as a player.

Why is there an argument for a declining asset, who made you vastly overpay in the beginning?

I think most here don't think Zeke is worth the contract.
Hopefully the front office feels the same.

It's very jekyll and hyde on this board with Zeke week to week. I didn't think the run blocking was particularly good today, and outside of a couple first down runs, the td, and blitz pickups Zeke really didn't contribute much with the running room given.

Im in the camp of I like Zeke and think he's a great pairing with Pollard but for what he brings to the table he can't be back making 14+ million a year.

Most the people that get it aren't Jekyll and Hyde. I have claimed that he was the second best back on the roster for years, not weeks.

Quite the credentials for a guy paid $12 mil this year to run the rock at an elite level. As a runner he's a JAG at this point.

Just worried about another man's money. Lol!

Anything about the OL? TPollard this, TPollard that. Love some TPollard, but some of this is like he is Barry Sanders 2.0. And the complete disregard to examine the OL is a freebie for Philbin and Air Coryell Jr addressing the run issue beyond examining or finger-pointing just Zeke.
