Give Zeke some props

[CowboyRoy]

Zeke played well on Sunday. One of the few players that did.

Yah that 50 yards was just incredible!!!

 

[CowboyRoy]

Why did they allow him to play is my question?
Dude was hurt and we were not gonna win.

With these teams that stack the middle of the line, they need to play Pollard more. He has the speed to bounce it outside and make them pay.

 

[Aviano90]

Yah that 50 yards was just incredible!!!

That's because he was limited to 10 carries. In contrast, when Zeke fans were all excited about 100 yards in a game in 2017 when he needed 25 carries to get there, he wasn't all that great. More carries = more total yards. I care about how efficient a player is with his touches. I don't want Zeke getting 100 yards if it takes him 28 carries to get it. Do you?

 

[Cowpolk]

Yet he is a better runner with a better average then Zeke? And at a fraction of the price.

Your hero Zeke seems to fold when he is most needed.

He is no where near being a better runner Let me know when he has back to back rushing titles like Zeke and watch out for Dak's health when Pollard is blocking He got Dak nailed last game

Zeke got Dak nailed last week too.

 

[Cowpolk]

Zeke got Dak nailed last week too.

It will happen less with Zeke than with Pollard

 

[Aviano90]

It will happen less with Zeke than with Pollard

Agreed.

 

[Proof]

for those who wish to be upset over things they cant control, and have zero to do with football..

there was no LINE. jerry makes the line not the fans, jerry decides whos first and what strapped actually means..he caved Zeke got paid and here we are..TIME TO LET IT GO! that was way back before 2019 season..

that ship has sailed came back reloaded and back out to sea..move on..

who made 32 mil for 4.5 games last year? that more then 2 season of zeke...who making 3 times what zeke makes but wins more with zeke having success..we all know who that is ..zekes chump change and when a player that been that important to this team is 4th on the pay scale on his own team, well i take ZERO issue with it..

you’re arguing semantics, and doing it poorly. i don’t care if you have zero issue with it, you are entitled to feel however you like. i was clarifying what some people including myself took issue with

the “line” was the players who were due for significant raises, and the order in which they were due them. amari, dak, byron, etc. these guys contracts were all up before zekes, and were in line before him. not a literal line mind you, but due to be dealt with and accounted for by merit of being forced to sign, franchise, or lose then before zeke was up.

he blew that up by holding the team hostage (literally) and it did have to do with football because by the time it was resolved he was admittedly (as in he admitted it in his own words) “rusty”. and it showed, and it affected the team

so yeah, to me that was offputting. not how much he’s getting paid, but the way he went about getting there and the impact it had on the franchise

 

[Whirlwin]

You mean by holding out in Cabo while the rest of the team is working hard in TC? Then coming in fat and out of shape the last 4 years?

Getting drunk, and suspended for 6 games. Stuff like that?

I don’t look at the past. I care about how are you doing today. Are you improving. He has a totally different mindset. This is not the same Elliot. Because I didn’t appreciate him either

you mean like last week when he broke the vikings back, picking up the first in a crucial spot? most needed line that?

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

If you want to know what kind of football player zeke is...Imma show you.

You can get on your high and mighty horse to signal your precious virtue....but he's done THIS is whole career. He is a good football player and great team mate. And you are also a perfect person too aren't ya? Ojjhh... he parties....ooohh.....girls like him...oooh....

Well here you go....zeke the football player and team mate that does EVERYTHING asked of him...his first play at Ohio State.

And THIS is tha kack wagon I;m talking about. PURE HATER without regard to what Zeke thew football player is...

So If i need benched fine.....Okay I will say I disagree and move on?

Or let this guy spew his hateful bullship.....I refuse to let him get away with it.

Pollard can't do what zeke does and you know it. They are a good team, 1-2 punch! .....but why do we let roy hate OUR team...so MUCH.

If this were roy hating Dak you guys would gang up on him FAST. Why do you let him do it to Zeke.

Well he has certainly shined bouncing it outside these last 4 weeks hasn't he? His 3.7 ypc carry in that span has been lighting the world on fire.. The sheer speed he has displayed.. Man!!!

 

[Aviano90]

Well he has certainly shined bouncing it outside these last 4 weeks hasn't he? His 3.7 ypc carry in that span has been lighting the world on fire.. The sheer speed he has displayed.. Man!!!

He's averaged 4.37 ypc these last 4 games. Where are you getting 3.7? Are you including the bye week?

 

[CowboyRoy]

Well he has certainly shined bouncing it outside these last 4 weeks hasn't he? His 3.7 ypc carry in that span has been lighting the world on fire.. The sheer speed he has displayed.. Man!!!

Yet he still averages more ypc then your 15 million dollar hero.

once again your cherry picking falls short.

Yep because he was innefective.

Wow….he finally picked up a first down. Our hero. Lol

 

[Proof]

Wow….he finally picked up a first down. Our hero. Lol

yeah, absolutely. splitting two defenders and trucking a third when we needed it most. huge play at a crucial time

 

[Aviano90]

Wow….he finally picked up a first down. Our hero. Lol

It was a huge first down and was crucial to us winning game. Why on earth would you try to make a joke about that? Mind you, I am also considered a Zeke hater by the lovers. This is exactly why haters aren’t considered “realists”.
