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

[Idgit]

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 do you suppose players from other teams, when they come to Dallas, frequently mention the pace of practice and the conditioning as being on a different level from their former teams'? Cedric Thornton being a recent example.

I suspect players are tired early in camp because they're working hard in camp, but that's just me.

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.

Everybody is sloppy in those first three games, but you're right that you'd think with our veteran team and our simplified defense and Tony pulling all the strings that we'd probably be ahead of the curve early on. Judging by the eyeball test, it doesn't really seem like we are any better off than anybody else, usually. But maybe that has something to do with the suspensions and injuries we've had early in the season recently.

Why now?

Because Zeke is hurt.

We still have over a month to go before Game 1......camp is there to get into shape

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!

Ragland is gonna miss significant time. You obviously didn't see the video of Henry's footwork drills. Paxton Lynch can't beat out mark Sanchez. I'll take Zeke all day. Especially with Jayson Smith when he's healthy.

He's not hurt. He will be back by Monday. He has a sore hamstring.

I was just giving examples of combinations players available that could sub for the 4th pick. Insert whoever you want.

I'm sure in the end, like every year at this time, some here will think no other players drafted except the ones we took will be worth a damn.

I'm a Zeke fan, so I'm good. The post was just to illustrate cost/value.

Not sure what Jaylon Smith has to do with it.

Henry is getting great reviews from the Titan coaching staff.

I was saying next season the Elliott/Smith picks will look great. Thats all.
