Home run hitter homerless drought

[Aviano90]

Last home run Zeke hit was against Detroit in week 16 of 2016. Since that 55 yard TD run, Zeke hasn’t bust a long TD run. He has had 557 carries since that long TD run.

We have a QB that isn’t good at hitting deep passes and a RB that can’t bust through stacked boxes and take it the distance.

We have to rely on inching down the field and overcoming penalties. Not a sustainable model for offensive success.

We need a a new QB and a back up RB that can hit a few big plays after Zeke wears them down.

Emmitt was always being caught from behind..I'm sure folks would have complained then too

WHAT ARE YOU SMOKING........ZEKE IS A BEAST...........MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A DESIGNATED DRIVER......

Zeke doesn’t get to play in space.

He’s the least of our problems though.

I remember all the talk of how we weren't going to have much ToP because Zeke was just gonna take it to the house on every other carry. (Okay, I paraphrased and exaggerated, but some people weren't far from claiming that.)

He hit home runs too, even though he wasn’t as explosive as a Barry Sanders.

Yup. They thought he was going to put up video game stats.

Good lord...

Right. Our big plays should only come from passing?

"Generational talent"

I will say he is one of the few talents who is completely devoid of blame

 

[cnuball21]

Zeke is top 3 in the league in yards from scrimmage...

Complain about the QB not the RB.

Opportunities have been there.

He is not a home run hitter anymore. He is a singles and doubles hitter.

Mannnn, u should be banned for this post. Zeke has given every physical possible ounce he has and that is TITANIC. Max 4 wins without him.

He injures about 2 guys a game with how he runs. There’s a lot of areas of grey on this board, but zeke is untouchable imo.

LOL Some of you are just throwing darts at the names of the next Cowboys player to throw under the bus at this point.

I want some explosive plays. Tired of inching down the field.

I agree. Aviano is saying we need to not drive him into the ground.

He's tired and overused. You were right in your OP.

He's had at least 2 chances this year and he couldn't make the last man miss.

One time the turf got him after the hurdle.
