I don't get you guys blaming Ezekiel Elliott

[cern]

Because there are a lot of miserable people out there and many of them populate this board. They hate on everything no matter.

You're living proof.

Zeke is getting Roasted on The Fan right now. “He’s making #1 WR money but isn’t making big plays anymore. He used to be a threat in space to take it to the house. Now he can’t even break 20 yds.”

Dak and Cooper are out playing him with big plays, elite plays. Zeke is making elite money but he’s not making elite plays. He’s become a short yardage power back but no home runs anymore.

They are also saying we should fire Garrett and Marinelli right now. Let Kellen run the offense and let Richard run the D. Get a new coach at the end of the season..

Shots fired

The first shot's supposed to be across the bow. Not to the head.

It has been established on this site that the Dallas Cowboys are in a terrible situation when it comes to their coaching situation. Garrett and his coaching staff needs to go.

Why are we bashing Ezekiel Elliott when we all know Garrett’s scheme (the one Moore is calling) is trash. Why are we bashing Ezekiel when all of our grandmothers could predict when the Cowboys were going run last game?

Why do we bash Dak when we all know the playing calling is suspect. Why are we surprised with the occasional bad games from Dak when we all know this team lacks leadership and a quality HC?

We may not have seen how good these players are. This team has been held back for years. Why we complaining about star players (Zeke, DeMarcus, Dak, Romo, Dez, Cooper whoever) when the the constant is still clapping on the sidelines?

it is fun to bash ewok , those nose rings are hard to look at! And sure blocking schemes and JG etc suck, but
50% of it is on elliot, not in good shape, too heavy, no intensity , no speed, runs into his own players and def players,
and bad vision.

He drinks too much beer and it’s caught up to him, just inside the twenties...

People tired of bashing Garrett. lol

Zeke didn’t break ONE tackle Sunday night.

He didn’t make ONE defender miss in space.

He was complete garbage vs the Vikings. Pretty amusing how offended some of you are at that reality.

Anyone can tell that Zeke just does not have the same burst he had . I can't say for sure when this began to happen but for sure his speed has diminished. He can not run outside and he used be able to. He almost looks like he's plodding along... has no change of direction at all.

Instead of bashing zeke we should be giving kudos to mike Zimmer for an excellent game plan. Our o-line had a horrible game against the vikes defense. The vikes always had at least one more defender than we had blockers the entire game. Can't complain about the passing game.

Our fans have problems giving opposing players/teams due credit. A good example is the 4th down pass play to Zeke. Many blame the play called and some blamed Dak and/or Zeke but I have yet to see anyone give the LBer credit for a one hell defensive play tipping the ball last second.

+1000% .......

People love to bash somebody.

It does appear that Zeke is lacking speed/quickness this season to threaten the the outside edges of defenses which allows defenses to focus on inside runs.

I thought Zeke looked quicker in the Eagles game but not before or since.
He did play less snaps in that game which could be part of the issue.
Maybe he is conserving energy early in anticipation of playing 70 snaps.
Then is is tired late in the game from playing 70 snaps.
Pollard played more, Zeke played less in the Eagles game.

Regardless of snaps played, he still looks sluggish compared to games in past years when he was at his peak.

There have been periods of time in previous years where he looked sluggish but then he got back to his peak speed/quickness.

I don't know if he is carrying too much weight or if it's something else.

Demarco Murray slowed down from extreme over-hydration the 24 hours leading up to games. He was desperate to over-come his hamstring and other injury issues.

Or just maybe he isn’t running really fast into the backs of the OL who can’t seems to get out of their own way anymore. The entire left side of the line including Frederick have not gotten much in the way of push. Maybe he is running with apprehension because his line has struggled more than we all realize.

I know it’s not all Connor Williams but when he went out last year the running game seemed to improve. I hate to say it but Looney last year looked better in run blocking than Fredrick this year.

50% of the blame is on Zeke huh?
Does he get credit for being on pace for 1400 yards and 11 TDs on the year?
Or are we giving the OL credit for his good but blaming him for his bad?
