Ike Taylor and MJD discuss Elliott vs Gurley

[ABQCOWBOY]

EZE E...("Easy E")...so is that the nickname that's sticking???

Kinda a like it as a early days Rap fan...

Zeke

 

[ABQCOWBOY]

Cuz he's gonna be a roofless villain. I tried to embed the video, but no...

Does this mean that he has a home with issues? Gotta believe that with the contract he just signed, he will be able to afford better digs....

;-)

Under no circumstances should a Cowboys running back be homeless.

That is unconscionable.

"Zeke the freak" or "Zeke Mode"

 

[Zordon]

His nickname is Freekey Zeekey......dipset, dipset, dipset!

 

[robbieruff]

I refuse to refer to Zeke as Easy E.

Lol

I've heard Bayless use the Zeke the Freak monicker. It's not bad either. I think I'm gonna cast my lot with EzE cuz I think he's gonna make it look so effortless when he carves up opponents for 150+ and two TD's.

Zeke

Dude. Zeke is already well established. I'm talking about his OTHER nickname. Like The Playmaker or Primetime. The one that becomes part of his brand. Not just plain ole Zeke. ZzzzzzzZzzzzzzzzzZzzzzzzz.

Easy E is nice, but there is nothing fearful about the name. He probably will make it look easy.

I think.....

Gurley's career will be much like Stephen Jackson's.

Elliott's career will be much like Ladanian Tomlinson's.

But with a couple of championships, unlike LT.

You rarely ever seen Emmitt get hit hard. What injuries he had were being caught from behind. He just knew how to avoid the big hit. That helped in his longevity...

Emmitt's total career yards rushing will never be broken, but I believe Emmitt's greatest strength was his vision. Finding a hole in the line and anticipating a hit require the same gift - vision. If EzE has it we'll see how much meat was "left on them bones."

Zeke the Freak is beyond terrible

As much as I wanted Todd Gurley last year, Gurley didn't have nearly the track record that Elliott had in College.

I say that for a couple reasons.

Gurley's best year was his rookie year and he got progressively worse production as his college career went on, even if he was becoming a better player at the time. He just couldn't stay healthy and we saw that again last year in his pro rookie year.

Gurley was a 3 years starter, where Elliott was a two year starter and Elliott still came away with more yards and touchdowns.

Zeke just strikes me as far more consistent a player.

I wouldn't be surprised if Zeke has 10 games for 100+ yards rushing next year, where Gurley had 5 his rookie year.

I'd throw a 200 yard game in there some where for EZE!

 

[hornitosmonster]

Zeke works. Zzzeeeke, kinda like Moooose

 

[Jarv]

I like the Ladanian Tomlinson comparison.

How these guys are seen will also be a product of their offense's ability to get them chances. Elliott has the line to make big numbers happen, but a QB whose career is coming to a close. Gurley has a possible long-term QB to relieve some pressure, but currently their OL is trash.

So can the Cowboys find a good QB to ride along in the backfield during the bulk of Elliott's career? Can the Rams build an OL on the fly that can boost their stud RB and possible franchise QB? That's those franchises' biggest questions and will have a lot of impact on how the RBs are seen.

LT is a good one, I'm thinking Thurman Thomas...Minus the 0-4 super-bowls...lol

Easy

Was Gurley all that impressive last year? He really seemed to fall off after that San Fran game. I think he had one more impressive game after that against the Lions.

Yes, Gurley was dominant. Until defenses realized the Rams had no passing threat, then they started loading the box. That's why his production declined.

Similar to how defenses approached the Cowboys last year, but our OL is so good, we got the yards anyway.
