Elliott/Pollard. Both over 800 yards rushing

[Established1971]

There's an outside chance both end up with 1000 rushing yards, which would be a Cowboys' first.

Pollard (988) will get there, it will take two big games for Zeke (currently at 829) to do it.

How often has that happened? Maybe 4 other times?

 

[Established1971]

Okay, I see. When it comes to Zeke you are like Risen, MountaineerCowboy, leeblair and dozens of others who hate on Dak for any reason.

No use in arguing/debating with haters of any type.

I am a fan and I like him because he's very likable. That's why I like him.

Carry on with your hate...

you are very fond of the word "hate" I see. Its a lazy word

What exactly is likeable about Zeke?

Because he plays for the Cowboys which is all of our favorite team. His teammates seem to love him. Is he overpaid most definitely but that’s Jerry and Stephen’s fault. Your hate for Zeke is no different than than the people that hate on Dak. You’re doing the same thing they do but with a different player.

Two guys over 800 yards? Dumbest thing I ever heard.

Now all of a sudden the Zeke apologists want to make it "the great duo"!!!

Who is the guy with 1360 yards from scrimmage and 12 TD's? The same guy that made the pro bowl!!

Tony Pollard!!!!

Zeke and Pollard are as different as Shultz and Ceedee Lamb. Anyone who compares the 2 knows nothing about football and their roles on this team. Complaining about either makes you nothing else but a hater.

 

[starman22]

Guessing off the top of my head...the other duos are Dorsett & Herschel Walker, Calvin Hill & Duane Thomas?

Maybe Jones and Barber?

 

[stilltheguru]

Pollard is better

Ok

Dak does his job. Zeke is a shadow. HUGE difference.

Nothing to like about Zeke. Who cares that he has a star? What are you a blind homer? He holds back the offense and held back Pollard for years.

One is great and the other is an overpaid has been. I completely agree.

 

[Dallasfann]

The list of sophomore/rookie 1st and 2nd round RB's that are averaging less per carry then Zeke is crazy. There are only 25 RB's in the league with a higher YPC out of 100+. You just don't understand how football works and it's not a knock on you. I don't understand how landing on the moon works.

 

[fivetwos]

I remember Cleveland had a pair of 1k backs.

Probably Mack and Byner. Not looking it up.

Neither Pollard or Zeke is likely to hit it unless miracles happen. The Washington game is probably mostly Malik Davis.

 

[rags747]

Zeke has been great for the team this year, love having them both.

 

[ClappingCarrot]

It's also worth noting that neither one of these guys has fumbled once this season.

Just an incredibly reliable tandem, when the OC opts to use them.

25? LOL And I suppose thats not a big number to you?

Do you suppose some backs dont run behind the great Oline that Zeke does? Or run in the # offense in football like Zeke does? Or dont you know how football works? Obviously you dont.

Probably 40 backs that can average 4 ypc or better behind THIS line in THIS offense.

Hypocrisy and its finest.

 

[darthseinfeld]

Thats quite a long list. Which player or coach are we talking about?

No one cares what posters think their I'm Right percentage is

 

[diamonddelts]

Whoever had that Zeke gets 1k yards bet would’ve won without injury. He may still get it but wouldn’t have been a question had he not missed those games.

Useless stat in a 17 game season

 

[817Gill]

Useless stat in a 17 game season

For some, but for career resumes those things matter. The league can go to 18 game seasons, RB’s and WR’s will still measure themselves with 1k yards.

100 yards in a game and 1000 yards in a season, even if just due to the neatness of the number, will always be mentioned as a complement to the player.

 

[GMO415]

We should have acquired K Hunt. Then we'd like unstoppable.

Unstoppable abuse cases.

 

[CT Dal Fan]

What exactly is likeable about Zeke?

1. He's a Dallas Cowboy.
2. He is a team first player that doesn't mind Pollard getting more touches.
3. He is tough and plays hurt and gives it his all on every snap.
4. He sacrifices his body in blitz pickup blocking.
5. He has a nose for the goal line.

I mean if the only reason to hate Zeke is his contract than I guess the only people on any team we can like are on the practice squad. I mean it's not our money anyway.
