If they run zeke when dak is on the line he does really well. When they run him from shotgun, he doesn't do as well. That is the way I remember it

Zeke is the guy who allows the Cowboys to keep Pollard fresh. If you give Pollard too many touches, he'll wear down and lose his pop. Zeke has some tread left and is GREAT in pass protection. I do need to see a better mix than we saw last year, but to call Zeke yesterday's news is ridiculous and shows this guy has some serious Cowboy hatred.

We've heard Zeke was in the best shape of his life the last 2 or 3 years and he keeps getting worse and worse. Can't put but so much lipstick on a pig. (Zeke's contract)

Hard to argue against the fact that Zekes best yr ( rookie ) was the best line he’s played behind . It takes a line to open up running lanes. The new 73 is a breath of fresh air to help .

Wasn’t Mike Tannenbaum the Jets GM when Mark Sanchez was selected as the savior the next “ Broadway Joe “.. ..Ooops :laugh: :facepalm:

Zeke was averaging 5.3 yards a carry before he got hurt. He sucked it up and continued playing and he's criticized for it.

I'm looking forward to Zeke proving all his naysayers wrong. I know he has the pride of an accomplished athlete. He's going to give it his best shot.

he’ll prove everyone wrong until about week 7. You can’t keep doing the same thing and pretending it’s going to be different. His contract dictates his touches and it’s a problem over the course of a long season. And some are still waiting for that to payoff? He’s had much better lines in the past. Good RB.. sure. Way overvalued with the amount of touches and the usual offseason hype.. you bet.

Quick recap, but audio above:

- Can run between tackles, but not dynamic
- Pollard is best back
- If they decide to run offense through Zeke, Cowboys are average team at best this year, and will get beat by Eagles and Giants

Someone who knows something about football tells it like it is . Zeke has been a bum RB since Cabo

Really really fresh. Doesn’t get much fresher. Zeke allowing him to be fresh.. when has that paid off? Maybe in the final year of his contract? Solid plan!

It's not my fault you can't read and assemble a rational thought. But you are good ay errant insults.

Look at the computer commando go! Relax Francis. My reading comprehension is well above average. You, on the other hand, write like my daughters. When they were 8. Now go be better.
