Twitter: Ezekiel Elliot speaks on Tony Pollard

[Risen Star]

Jerry is bringing Zeke back next year and Stephen will low ball Pollard, who will sign with the Eagles.

What's your address?

LOL says the fat RB who makes all the money to the good RB who makes all the plays.

Zeke is a lot slimmer this season

Why would you come in and throw a wet blanket on all the Zeke love?
Hater.

Let's keep them both. Zeke give half your salary to TP and we're all good.

I would have no problem at all taking Bijon Robinson with out first pick. He’s got size, moves, speed and runs hard. Supposedly has a real good head on his shoulders too. Pollard will be priced out of us keeping him.

Very mature response from Zeke. He's become a team leader.

Cannot be easy for Zeke, but it is the truth. Team needs to be selfless and if Zeke takes the high road he proves he is leader.

I hope we can restructure and keep both next year. They make a great duo

I think it's a possibility, but Elliott is going to need to actually take a pay cut IMO. I'm sure the front office recognizes that his production isn't equal to his pay.

 

[Darthkuriboh]

Even if both remain on the team next year, I'd like to see a RB drafted in rounds 2, 3 or 4.

No. Malik Davis is fine

Zeke is a team player. Yes he gets paid a lot but that’s JG’s fault. JG was in his last leg and had to have Zeke to survive. So they caved and paid him a ridiculous contract. But I’ve never questioned Zeke the player. He does stuff most backs won’t do. The dirty stuff.

Think the key is how much of a pay cut they want him to take and/or how much he's willing to accept.

Yeah you will have a long long wait looking for highlights of most of the other workhorse backs taking a linebacker's head off the way Zeke does, then turning around and hurdling an ankle biting DB on the next snap. He's such a complete football player the calls to get rid of him have never made any sense and never will. Sure they will have to redo his contract to keep him beyond this season.. That's the business.. I suspect Zeke understands that as well as anyone.. certainly better most of these idiot fans.

Zeke was also a lead blocker for Pollard on a play, and was *good* at it.

I'm a big fan of two back sets. Zeke's willingness and ability to lead block is a huge asset for making that work.

Put these guys in the I and send them in different directions, one or the other getting the ball, and sometimes send them in the same direction with Zeke lead blocking for Pollard.

Our oline is best at run blocking, and we have two complementary backs. They should both get used *at the same time*.

 

[3rdEyewarrior]

The RB combo with good OL can take this team on a deep playoff run.

Zeke will still dominate with the touches. Let us get healthy. He had two 80 yard games. One against our best opponent.

 

[Dak_Attack_09]

Man is a beast, but he will go in the top RB selections, maybe 1st rb off the board.
We won't make that pick, but very deep draft for RBs in this upcoming draft.

He is overrated.

 

[Typhus]

He is overrated.

Robinson is the best player on the Longhorns roster and one of if not the top rated RBs in the nation.
You must not watch much College football.

Zeke is a very good lead blocker. On the one sweep where Pollard cut back in had he stayed on Zeke's hip he probably scores..

If falls late in the first he'd be a good pick.

It's the group of fans who for some reason can't handle both on the roster. The players are fine.
My stance stays the same. We need both. I'd actually give Davis a couple plays.
