Say what you want. Zeke has been a war horse. Tough as nails. Pretty darn durable. A blocking sled with hair. But it all came with a cost. It robbed him of any speed he had left. Now we are all looking for the next gamebreaking back to come to Dallas. A rinse and repeat feature.

....thats a great stat to acquire. Glad for Zeke

From what I've seen he probably has another 3-4 yrs in the tank.

With the 17 game added, getting 1k a year shouldn't be to hard of of task.

Yeah he's on pace for close to 1100 currently. His snap count has gone up last 3 weeks compared to the first 3 weeks

Curious if he makes the 10k club which is getting really rare for this current generation (post Frank gore/Peterson the formula has been over work/burnout running backs like Foster/Bell/Charles/Gurley....ect for 3 or 4 seasons then dump them).

After this season he'll need like 2 years 1600-1700 yards. I think he takes a huge paycut because he knows Dallas will give him enough carries to do so (he said recently on a podcast when asked "biggest goal besides superbowl" his answer was "I really really want to join the 10k club, especially since it's getting rare post 2010")

I like Zeke...he's an all around back...may not be a breakaway back anymore, but he does the little things right. I hope Jerry can renegotiate and we keep him for a couple of more years. He love the game and has become a good leader

Comparison showing only rushing yardage accumulated by Elliott, Emmitt Smith and Tony Dorsett during their first six seasons.

Special player that has been run into the ground


Shame because he had a HOF trajectory up until KM took the reigns

...I also see him getting paycut to remain in Dallas. I just dont see him moving on. Him and Dak.

Pretty cool. I don't know if he'll get the chance to surpass Dorsett here, but he's had a pretty decent career as a Cowboy despite what some think.
He's done after this season no matter what numbers he flashes. He would have been gone before this season but Dallas would have taken a huge bite in cap.

So, they had to hold on to him for one more season. He's not worth $14 million per season. I won't miss him. He's not even ranked in the top 15 RB's. Talk about going downhill after the big pay day. And fans complain about Prescott. Hilarious!
