Ezekiel Elliott's ability to block the opposing blitzers is awesome to watch

Man..they were not kidding how adept he is at that..

He's been doing it all year ..but there was one play yesterday that really stood out to me....

unfortunately ..i can't remember which one...any help much appreciated.

49 years old...help me out...

might have been the deep pass to t-will?

The best part about turning the announcers off is that you really get to hear the players talking and hitting. There was one play where Zeke picked up the blitz and you could clearly hear the crunch when he met the LB in the hole. It was beautiful.

This dude is a complete back. You can tell he works in his craft and being the best at everything he does is extremely important. This was the right pick. Glad #21 is a Cowboy
That's a big 10-4

5:27 to play, third and 5. Prescott completes the pass to Witten for the first down. The Pack sent number 50 on a blitz, Zeke picked it up perfectly. Just re-watched it and because of the announcers you can't hear the crunch much, but that's the play I was referencing. Man do I hate announcers.

Murray was great at that as well. But not so early. Takes excellent understanding of protections. Unreal to get that out of a rookie.

I think it was the clutch sideline throw to Witten that you might be thinking of (at least that's the one I noticed) - with about 5 minutes left...Packers sold out to try and get the ball back and Dak hit a quick out to Jason that basically ended the game...Zeke picked up a blitzing LB up the middle and basically stoned him. His block was key to the play.

It's the part of his game that most reminds me of Emmitt...
