Elliott Won Rushing Title But Feels He “Left A Lot Of Yards On The Field”

[Risen Star]

• FRISCO, Texas – Last year Ezekiel Elliott led the NFL in rushing yards. He was, by just about any standard, one of the most exciting players in football.

But according to him, it wasn’t enough. And if he’s successful with what he’s looking to improve on, then he’s about to be even more exciting.

“I think I left a lot of yards on the field [last season],” Elliott said Wednesday.

Elliott said he’s already comfortable in the offensive system coming into the upcoming season, so his focus is on improving the part of his runs after he’s already run through the holes his offensive line creates.

"Where I think I can make the biggest improvement is becoming an elite runner in the second level,” Elliott said. “That’s what’s going to propel you from 1,600 to 1,800 to 1,900 yards. And making sure I make all those plays count, not leaving any yards on the field.”

Well that and having a man as a head coach who isn't afraid to let you play all downs and an entire season, Zeke.

I can think of about 200 that were called back due to bogus holding calls

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. There's still plenty of meat on that bone. Now you take this home, throw it in a pot, add some broth, a potato. Baby, you got a stew going."

I think Risen would rather jump off a bridge than watch Garrettop hoist a Lombardi.

Well, my take on Garrett and your take on Garrett is usually separated by somewhat of a gap... if you can call the Grand Canyon a gap.

However, in this case I think they should've let Elliott go for Dickerson's rookie record... and I wish they would have played the starters for that last game at Philly.

It's football and momentum is a big part.

Rookie records and stats are not the real issue.

When you sub in an inferior talent like Lance Dunbar, that is the problem.

Hopefully Garrett has figured that out.

Next zeke will be running out of a macy's with unpaid merchandise.

Oh, rookie records and stats are exactly the real issue!

Wait.... nope... no you're right.

Good call.
