I have to say Hunt didn't impress me today; Zeke is a lot tougher

[Yakuza Rich]

EE is great at reading plays. I mean, he's at Emmitt's level. I think people don't see so many of those runs where he gets 4 or 5 yards and the O-Line blocked for 1 or 2 yards. Or those plays where he gets a 12 yard gain and the O-Line blocked for it, but it takes a RB with that great ability to read the play to get that. While Hunt is great and all, he doesn't have that ability to read plays like EE does and that's why he may struggle while EE can still be an effective runner when the opposing defense is selling out on the run or the O-Line isn't blocking that great.

I also can't believe he doesn't get hurt or tired. He puts himself in awkward positions fighting for yards.

 

[MarionBarberThe4th]

whatever ya dink. People talking up Hunt vs. Zeke matchup and Zeke dominated. Hunt looked soft and weak...like your post.

lol dink is simultaneously the lamest and
Somehow the most savage insult

Ezekiel Elliott is elite. A once in a generation talent. I think there’s a similarity between Zeke and Emmitt and that is how they rarely ever lose yards. A 2 yd loss is a no gain for them. They just always fall forward. That is how RBs help win championships in my opinion

I thought the defense worked on taking away the deep pass which essentially shrunk and compacted the field. Made them much easier to defend. The smaller passing lanes were full of Cowboy defenders.

How is calling hunt a very very good RB downing him? Use your reading comprehension. He is very very good. But he is not on Zeke’s level. I stand by that statement. Zeke is the more complete back. Hunt has nowhere near Zeke’s power and ability to get the tough yards.

Use my reading comprehension? Do you even know what that means? Him and Zeke are of the same caliber is my point. Hunt is a different back than Zeke. We can sit here and talk about what each does best......but you can't make up or create what Hunt has done. He's a MVP candidate. A great back.

You lose on this argument.

All the things Zeke does most people do not even see. Besides making runs from nothing, he makes tough catches look routine, pass blocking easy, etc etc etc. He's an a#$ but he is our a#$!

Zeke is fat!

And I disagree. I think Zeke
Is a more complete back. Hunt can’t block as well as Zeke and he isn’t as good at short yardage or
The goal line.

But I wasn’t “downing”. Hunt. That’s my point also. Calling somebody very very good isn’t “downing” them.

 

[texbumthelife]

Just rookie hype, he will bust out of the league in two-three years. He isn't impressive.

Dude, ***? This is just silly.

 

[reddyuta]

Hard to make any judgements on 9 run plays,he was getting tackled in the backfield too.

The OP was and he’s dim.

 

[Shinaoi]

Zeke is fat!

Lol he’s certainly a lot larger than hunt when they were side by side, that’s for sure.

 

[Gameover]

Best 3.4 a carry game ever!!!

Calling someone who leads the league in rushing yards in their rookie year as "very very good" seems like you're downplaying him but we'll agree to disagree. No point in arguing about it. I'm a Zeke fan and glad we have him. One of the few guys on here who thought he was worth the 4th pick.

Yeah I was shocked to see he was putting up 4 yards a carry. He had some ugly runs in there where he got hit in the backfield. Cowboys knew every time the Chiefs were going to run it looked like.

 

[Nova]

Hunt is a great all around back who does everything pretty well.

He just doesn't have that special athleticism that Zeke does.

Bright future for Hunt. I wish him well. Seems like a great dude.

I think you're misunderstood. There's no argument being made. My stance is not only is Zeke a great back but Hunt is a great back also. You don't just luck into leading the league in rushing in your rookie year. ITs ok to think Zeke and Hunt are both great backs.

 

[dragon_mikal]

More like your midsection.

But yes we get it; Cowboys rule and all other players suck.

Now go jump-in your Cowboy underoos and go to bed.

What a weird thing to post on a Cowboys message board.

 

[haleyrules]

**** Hunt. He doesn't play for the Cowboys.
