ESPN: Jason Garrett to discuss Zeke Elliott's play: it was not up to our standard

[kevm3]

I don't know what got into Zeke last week, but he really looked out of it. The court stuff must really be getting to him. With that said, he needs to get out of pout mode and get back to being the Zeke we expected.

Since JG allowed a private intent to get public......eyebrows are raised again about his ability to instill discipline on his team. They're winning despite him, and everyone knows that. He's a coaching misfit that is coaching due to entitlement.....the offensive guru mantle faded, now he's known as a clapper/smiling coach......C'mon JG....the Captain is suppose to jump ship last....not first. Again....see 1st yr Coach Sean McVay.

The coaches are more to blame. The team wasn't ready to play from the get go...That is totally on the clappers account.

It just seems to me that with this staff, if the run doesn't work right away, they get flummoxed and a bit of panic sets in.

JG basically quit on them as well when he punted on 4th and 3 down by 17

Also clapping when down by a lathe margin.

Seems like the clapper revving up the bus for a run at Elliott. He best be careful, he needs Prescott and Elliott a heck of a lot more than they need him. He is just barely a figurehead coach with no real abilities beyond the players and a couple of assistants.

Agreed. Many of the same people complaining about Garrett calling out Zeke would be complaining about not holding players accountable if Garrett did not say anything.

Garrett absolutely did the right thing in calling out Zeke. Where we have an issue with Garrett is he NEVER accepts any blame himself even when it is obvious he did not have the team mentally ready to play.
