Ezekiel Elliott: Dallas Cowboys running back out for "some time" after injury

[Hardline]

That Alfred Morris signing looks pretty damn good now.

 

[Sydla]

Wait a second!

A RB got injured? That's surprising.

 

[theebs]

That's be pretty sad if the team was actually that concerned about what ESPN puts on TV.

doesn't matter because I think the guy has a sore hamstring and being out of shape sounds like something someone said in passing and others retweeted it or something.

There are so many pretend insiders who write for blogs/websites/ radio stations that cover this team and they all have like 10k plus followers on twitter which I never understand. Most of them live far away from the team and always mis report everything.

I'm a Zeke fan
but my question will always be value with him at 4th overall
I'll assume he'll be a super star, but the comparison (for me anyway) will usually be Zeke compared to two (or more) players that could be had for that pick.

Zeke vs

Leonard Floyd AND Derrick henry
or
Shaq Lawson AND Paxon Lynch
or
Vernon Hargreaves AND Reggie Ragland
or
Sheldon Rankins AND Michael Thomas AND Kenneth Dixon

etc
etc

Just a ton to give up for one player and especially a RB

So Zeke....time to dominate!

well floyd and lawson are banged up fwiw

True.
I was thinking more long term And really, no telling for sure how good those players will be.

well yes you are right in that regard. Pass rushers generally play longer than running backs.

 

[Jerryrage]

FIRE THE ENTIRE TRAINING STAFF.

I don't buy the out of shape BS...if he wasn't in shape, he wouldn't have passed the physical and conditioning tests. Therefore he would not have practices since day one.
Also it was reported in OTAs and mini camp he was in great shape, so how does he get out of shape in 5 weeks, when he was in sage all off season.

yes I can say this without proof as the saying he is out of shape shows no proof either.

Not buying it either. If he was out of shape, etc...he most likely wouldn't have been running with the 1st team. The 'biggest' free agent they signed, Cedric Thornton...has been running with the 2nd team essentially all offseason...while Zeke has been taking the majority of 1st team reps since DMC broke his elbow.

 

[DallasDomination]

What the hell is going on with our players being out of shape?

Why do we have to read about our players being constantly being questioned about their conditioning? Where the hell is the coaching staff ?

If Dez is tired after the 1st half again this year I'm gonna just lose it. No excuses for a professional athlete to be out of shape.

Only our coaching staff think it's ok for a player to get tired mid play and just fall to the ground. Yeah we all remember how Murray would just fall like a moron when he got tired. And that was ok? For all the hate Parcells got he wouldnt of allowed this crap.

Why now?

 

[Denim Chicken]

Elliot is listed as day to day by garret in his presser today

Whew! Now I feel better.

 

[DallasDW00ds0n]

Guy takes a couple hits, blows the hammy, great

[CATCH17]

lol

He said on the radio this morning that he's got a few pounds to lose.

 

[jazzcat22]

Guess we won't be seeing Zeke in the blue white scrimmage on Sunday...heck, do they have enough players that aren't day to day, to even have it this year......

How much would anyone bet, even if 100%, we won't see quite a few regular starters in the 1st preseason game.

He's gonna punish some LBs & DBs this year.

I think I just heard they all have the day off for rest purposes. We never see the starters with any significant time until week 3 and the past few seasons where most starters play into the 3rd quarter most of our guys are done in the 2nd quarter....gotta love the rest mentality we got going

Right.
And this hurts them every freaking year. So the first 2 or 3 games, are their real preseason games. Still getting things worked out....just play them more in the preseason and then they will be prepared for game one.

 

[CATCH17]

I would just like for them to come out a little sharper than they have in the past in week 1.

For a team that doesn't focus a lot on being physical all preseason you would think they would be excellent with the mental side of it but we are still all over the place and sloppy in that week 1 game.

 

[Silver N Blue]

Could not agree more.
