Goose on Ezekiel Elliott's work load

[Swanny]

If you're spending the 4th pick on a guy who you don't expect to make it through 2 contracts at a high level...you're doing this team building thing very...very wrong.

If you think the Cowboys are going to let a 27 year old Zeke in his prime walk....assuming he is what we think he is...you're doing this understanding the Cowboys front office thing very...very wrong.

The horrifying prospect of investing a huge 2nd contract into a RB is exactly why some of us don't think it smart to use a high first rounder on a RB.

But now we're here.

If it were possible to sign a RB to a 2nd contract that is max 3 years long I would do it. But that would never happen. At the end of that 5 year contract he will and should be useless.
I guess I don't 100% agree with what I quoted. I would never draft an RB that high. I would raft in Rds 2-4 run then into the ground and repeat forever.

Depends on how you define garbage time, and what team it is.

If it is a 2 possession game with 2 to 5 minutes left and you are facing Rodgers or Brady, then you put the ball in your play makers hands. The more sure handed players.
If you are facing a RG3, Kessler, Hoyer, you may put in your back ups.

Agreed I would also add sometimes a statement needs to be made ! Green Bay for instance needed to be a statement game so there was no doubt .
