Yeah as they think Elliott they are high on. As they know he will one day sooner or later be the fact of the franchise.

I think they'll put a lot of thought into how much to use. Zeke. He'll get plenty of touches. Not too many though. I don't think they'll use him as much as Demarco and I'm glade about that. Morris will get some touches. Dmc maybe too. Dunbar when he comes back should get some touches.

They don't need to kill Zeke early in his career and I think they'll find that balance.

I hated when Dex got hurt. Dex is like a top five WR. I hope Dex doesn't try and buy another monkey.

Get used to it. This is Zeke's offense.

I love it when Dex scores and then throws up the Z.

I'm always like....Go Cowboys!

People here thought the slop we had along the OL years ago was good enough.

People here thought burning 50 million and our top 2 picks in the draft on a couple of cornerbacks was sound thinking.

People here thought La'el Collins would have to backup Ronald Leary for a year and then maybe compete for a starting job in 2016.

Well I think the jones boys should think about making sure EE is healthy and ready for the playoff run.
If you wear him out, get him beat up, or hurt, and go into playoffs like that , is that smart ??

I would be more in favor of playing him in the 2nd and 4th qtr's, and letting the others play in 1st and 3rd.
EE playing in the 2nd and 4th qtr's, means he is more likely to break long runs, and not get hurt, as the
defense will be tired.
And only playing 2 qtrs a game means he wont be wore out by game 16.
In qtr 1 defenses are fresh and wanting to hit someone, so not that smart to play him then.

But he is their new toy, so he will probably play qtr 1 and whole game, with others getting carries here and there.

I don't know the last time the cowboys have been this deep at RB. Even more than when we had JuJo and Marion Barber. Every back currently on the roster, you can justify why they need to make the team.

This was obvious after Linehan said that he got with EE before rookie camp to give him more information. They generally do not trust rookies and bring them along slowly. Murray too a year or two to really get opportunities and that was not all due to injuries. With a top 5 pick, they cannot do that.

I fear they are going to run him into the ground like was done to Stephen Jackson.

I think Romo's age has more to do with rushing him than where he was picked. Heck I believe Romo's age was the excuse to draft a RB so high.

Yup.... PERIOD

That made me laugh. I love Romo but lets work the new work horse as much as possible. That's the best plan for this year. Ride zeke all the way.

Zeke is going to make all the haters/doubters fans and make his supporters look like geniuses.

Going RBBC last year was the biggest idiotic move Dallas made and once Romo and Dez got hurt, it was a lost season. This team flourishes with a bell cow RB, dominating OL and opportunistic passing attack to keep defenses honest.

And speaking of Zeke, he reminds me of Duane Thomas running style-----smooth and no wasted motions. Always going forward, deceptive power and speed. Let's just hope he lasts longer than Duane and talks a little bit more. This will be fun to watch.

We were 3-1 with rbbc when Romo was healthy...

Has Nate never heard of Dez and Murray? Felix Jones for that matter.

We are such a right now thinking people.

Spend the number 4 pick on a RB to only play half a game?

Steven Jackson played 9 years with the Rams. We can only hope to be so lucky.
