Emmitt: Cowboys need to find a way to keep Pollard and Zeke

[G2]

Smith is concussed.

 

[jazzcat22]

Emmitt knows RB's.

 

[jgboys1]

I am sure Jerry listens to Emmitt, Michael and Troy. Doesn't make it right but I think Jerry is heavily influenced by them. Emmitt thinks Zeke is still in his prime and Michael and Troy like Dak so I expect Dak and Zeke to be around for a few more seasons.

 

[lukin2006]

My gosh is he blind? No to both…

Neither Super Bowl team had big name backs…what they both had were great o-lines. Build a great o-line and get 2 cheap running backs…

There certainly is not a shortest of advice........

Emmitt Smith: Cowboys need to find a way to keep Tony Pollard and Ezekiel Elliott​

C'mon Emmitt! You're better than that! Zeke? Really? I never want to hear Emmitt's name mentioned for a front office job with the Cowboys if he's actually serious about this.

Exactly! O line is the real trash.

 

[Vinnie2u]

Hips and film don’t lie.. Ask Shakira.. Zeke is a prime example of the Law of Diminishing returns. Cut bait..

 

[GMO415]

21 is a has been at $10 million. Slide his money over to Pollard.

 

[starfan1]

Emmitt has early signs of CTE setting in. (Just a joke please dont cancel me lol)

 

[CouchCoach]

Who cares about what Emmitt thinks?

 

[Silver N Blue]

I like Emmitt but he must be smoking something or broken into Jerry’s liquor cabinet.

 

[JayFord]

Is Elliott willing to take a paycut?

idc what fans say we had a 800 yard and 1000 yard back with 0 fumbles between the 2

that means we had A ELITE rushing attack.....i know we hate saying our players did good

now if you can get a better back that Elliott to contribute then you do that....yeah the rushing attack was amazing last year but Elliott at that much rushing for 800 aint a good look

 

[blueblood70]

21 is a has been at $10 million. Slide his money over to Pollard.

you cut 21 and you owe him 2 years 12mil.. you can keep him and restructure to that number, if he takes that he is usable, 900yards and 12tds in 15 games, yes 3.8 YPC not great. 12tds 5th in the league in rushing tds. The OL and OC had a lot more to do with the fall off. ES22 year 7 12tds and 3.7 YPC guarantee ES22 was close to the highest paid RB nearly all his career, Like i said i get it but for the right restructure you could keep him and pay him the same as cutting him, maybe you do so.

 

[Sydla]

Ahhh Jesus with a popsicle stick.

Jerry gonna see this and demand we keep Elliott.

 

[Calvin2Tony2Emmitt2Julius]

Aww Somebody spoke against you're own team hating diatribe and you're Azzhurt about it !

Cue the Emmitt hate !!!!!!

 

[shabazz]

Did anybody expect Emmitt to say Zeke has to go?

Emmitt knows better than to speak ILL of any current cowboys players…..especially running backs.

im pretty sure he would be more candid about it with family and close friends that he could speak freely with

 

[TwistedL0g1k]

Elliot alone has a 2023 cap hit of $16.72M per spotrac. That is a catastrophic number. If the team cuts him, his dead money will still count $11.86M against the cap.

Either way, it's a tragedy.

Think of what the team could do with that money! That money could bring in a game changing FA, or 2-3 really solid players.

This perfectly illustrates the kind of management decisions that yield mediocrity.

Poor guy must really be losing it.

 

[CowboyRoy]

I respect what Zeke has done, but football is a business.
He has no business being on the team with that salary.
So Jerry is going to have to man up and make the tough call.

I don’t
