Yup those games when he got 1 carry for 11 yards and another game when he got 1 carry for 12 yards really showed he should be yanked those games.

Just admit the narrative you're talking about isn't supported by facts.

Whatever. If you want to start an argument, look somewhere else. This 'issue' isn't worth the time.

We all know that our running game is electric when Zeke is carrying the rock. When he's not on the field that home run threat is just not there. Will they give him a few plays off to rest him, give him no plays off, or will they give him series off like they did in the regular season? I hope he gets a few plays off but is on the field 97 per cent of the time. What say you? Thanks in advance for your input and discussion. Go Cowboys
Same as they've done all season except McFadden replaces Morris.

If we were to have yo play the Giants, I'm wondering if we would be better off going light on the 11 personnel package and bring in Collins as the blocking tight end and run Zeke down their throats all game long. Collins can capture the edge and get to the second level far better than Looney can. Going with this 6 man O-line would force the Giants to remove at least one of their really good corners and replace him with a LB.

I really want to see the Cowboys incorporate Zeke more into the game as a receiving threat after a fake handoff with play action and see Zeke throw one or two halfback passes per game to keep defenses honest. As long as he doesn't throw a pick it benefits the running game tremendously. It keeps 11 defenders from running to the ball carrier.

Zeke is blossoming in the passing game and I'm hoping his big YACs will continue in that blessed function.

Getting him the ball in open space is pure gold. I'm pretty certain Linehan and Dak have noticed that lately.

I was watching Zeke's weekly interview with the media.

When asked what he thinks his workload will be in the playoffs compared to the regular season, he said he thinks he will get more. And he said it without hesitation.

That is a great thing. It makes me think they're telling him to be ready to dominate. We'll finally go all-out with him. Other teams should be scared of that.
