Twitter: Elliott speaks on being benched

[Jake]

That's the way the draft has made the current nfl fandom. People want their team to win and also be the next Mel kiper

I'd like this if I could. I'm guessing I don't have enough posts to be able to do that, yet.

Cowboys OC Scott Linehan: Ezekiel Elliott's fumbles 'lit a little fire there that we've got to put out' - Jon Machota, Dallas Morning News

Rookie Ezekiel Elliott fumbled a couple times against Washington and that has Coaches Linehan and Garrett stressing ball security to everyone on the offense.


"Well, we've got to coach and keeping coaching it," Linehan said Thursday. "It's got to be the most important thing we do on offense while we're running our schemes and our plays. Protecting the football is paramount for everything we do."

Makes you wonder how long it will be before somebody is carrying a football everywhere he goes around the Star, doesn't it?

I was curios on the first fumble when Norman literally wound up and punched the ball out of his hands what would have happened if he missed and hit Elliot? Is that a penalty?

I don't think he is that good that we should be thinking 100+ yds automatically. I mean to say I think he's a good RB but I don't see elite....yet. Boy, I so hope I'm wrong esp given we have all of two games to go on.

Yes..it's early.

One sign he's progressing is when he stops rolling up his shirt to display the abs for the girls.

High school stuff.

I think Zeke entered the season with his head inflated bigger than his hat size talking about breaking Eric Dickerson's rushing record. I think he also fell for all the hype the OL has been getting ever since Murray's big season in 2014. He needs to knockoff the fumbling and start producing or he may end up getting benched again. Hopefully he's been humbled some.

I predict he will break one for at least 50 yards on Sunday.

If he hit him in the head.

Ezekiel Elliott on responding to being benched:

You think he'd say he was bitter?
Blimey!
Now await the typical "he sounds like a great kid to me!" responses. We are like pavlovian dogs!

30 carries, 140 yards, Cowboys win by 14.

I'm sure that won't be enough for some fans, either.
