If no one on this board knows what this team looks like without Zeke, then

[Risen Star]

Zeke gave you beer goggles with Prescott.

Now just wait until you see him sober.

Grab a bucket.

I think people would be less concerned if they had faith the head coach could scheme around his absence.

But considering that in 7 years, we still haven't figured out how to get Dez consistently involved, there's not much to go on faith wise.

Thats because he is not good

Remember a few years back people were adding "believe" to their avatar

We have got away from that
I think that is the main reason we have lost games

If fans on CZ would add "Believe " to their avatar we can start winning again Zeke or no Zeke

I’m approaching this suspension like an injury. Zeke got hurt like Romo and we need to make up for his absence. I actually think the offense will be ok. It’s the defense that’s the concern. They’re bad with or without Zeke.

If only we had coaches with creativity. Running jet sweeps to Switzer and blitzing Sean Lee is t going to cut it

Elliott was valuable in keeping the Defense off the field. That could be his biggest loss.

Haven't seen this one in awhile......lol.

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

You have not seen them play without him

We've seen what they look like when he's not in the game though. The team doesn't look the same.

Again, biggest indicator will be our yardage on first down.

We were horrible the beginning of this season and we looked pretty awful. And this was with Zeke, but Linehan apparently thought Dak could be a much better pocket QB in his second year and wanted to pass more.

Our last few games it’s just been a heavy dose of Zeke and the difference has been night and day..

How about the previous 20 yrs??

To go all the way, Prescott needs to be a better pocket passer. Just looking ahead.

 

[Broges74]

He'd have won the rushing title again this year. Two rushing titles, two 1,600+ yard seasons, 30+ TDs. Two years in the league.

He's our best player.

While I agree is our best weapon. The best unit on this team is the OLine. If you think Zeke would tear up the league the way he has anywhere else, I've got oceanfront.... Yeah that old saying..

McFadden was on his way out of the league before coming here and rushing for 1k without even a threat of a passing game. We are fine and we will survive without Zeke. 8-5 when 'our best player' returns and even you will be singing Dak's praise.

Zeke would be a star RB anywhere in the league.

 

[Aven8]

The only icing would be for Goodell to hand the SB MVP award to Zeke at the end of the season just like he had to do to Brady. Man that would be awesome..........a man can dream........

 

[Broges74]

Didn't say he wouldn't be a star.. I said he'd not have the numbers he has here. BIG DIFFERENCE.

 

[khiladi]

I never given up on a season just being a Dallas fan. Never really did.

But my expectations have gone down down and I won’t be as disappointed if we don’t have much success.

If we happen to go on a tear though, like always, I’ll start blaming the refs again for them cheating against us and losing..

We couldn’t score in the red zone despite yardage when McFadden was rushing for a thousand. When we had to run, we couldn’t.

 

[Silver N Blue]

You cant compare a running back being out to a QB being out. A good QB cant be replaced but we mutiple guys who can replace zeke

Yeah tell that to the 93 cowboys team...

I'm glad I'm not the only person that's noticed that change. Or the change in results.

I just wonder why it took three losses first?

 

[Silver N Blue]

And if they do then that means we have a coaching problem.

I didn't need Zeke's absence to reaffirm this...

 

[sweetness0986]

He’s the best player on our team. He is not a dime a dozen RB. Morris has had a few good runs this year but last year when he spelled Zeke he’s stalled the drives or forced us into 3rd and long. Clear as day.

 

[Risen Star]

He'd have great numbers anywhere. Certainly the better the OL, the better the numbers. Thanks, Captain Obvious.
