Is Zeke sitting again?

[Cmac]

I wasn’t aware people cared whether he sat or not. This team’s losing on Sunday either way.

.....I think some need to ensure Zeke gets another Fall Guy of the Year award from this board.

 

[Carson]

That’s some top notch analysis there. Go look at the overtime plays and tell me who they trusted and how effective that run game was?

It is top notch. It’s the reason Dak threw the ball 46 times and they heavily leaned on the pass at the end of the game.

It didn’t imply they weren’t effective. They just were afraid to overload them late in the game.

 

[CowboyRoy]

It's strange the way some of you so call fans, struggle to see the big picture.

So playing a worse rb only to help Moore run more is seeing the big picture? Lol

Yah right!

you made that up completely and it doesn’t even make sense.

I cry BS. Your making it up. Cowboys ran it 23 times with pollard alone. Clearly they werent concerned. Another pollard myth busted.

Cute thought but right now we're .500 without him.. Continue that trend and the team finishes 10-7 and very much in danger of missing the playoffs. I'd rather go back to the 4-2 with him. That should translate into 5-3 or 6-2 down the stretch.. firmly in the playoffs and a shot at hosting one if Philthy falls apart like we know they want to.

I honestly can't believe you are posting this crap.
We are not having any problem running the ball without Zeke.

Our problem is stopping other teams from running the ball.

Understand this as it was proven positive last year playing Zeke as tough as he is while he is injured is not an intelligent move.

Zeke needs to be healthy to be effective.

so let’s look at the facts instead of making wild assumptions.

cowboys ran the ball 31 times Sunday. That’s the 3rd highest total of the year. Other two higher were 32 rushed and 34.

so your claim that they were afraid to over load them is proven false.

zeke was healthy all year and could only muster 4.1 ypc

Which is bottom of the barrel.

At this point you come across as a bitter guy unable to face the truth.

Most quarterbacks average about 8yds a throw. So, if a running back can average a half of that, that's pretty damn good. It's just you and your agenda that trying to make it seem bad.

Have no problem with him playing as long as he's 100% healthy I understand that he is a good blocker and his running style wears a defense out.

I just don't feel like watching him injured and two steps slow trying to accomplish this as the strain was more than I could bare last year.

Zeke is the least of our problems we figured out how to run the ball very well without him we just have not figured out how to stop the run without having a dominant nose tackle.

Hate to teach you about football some more but 4.1 ypc is low for running backs.

pollard is #2 in the nfl for backs at 6.0 ypc

zeke is 39th.

just to educate you on the facts.

 

[Jarv]

It did. That’s why they went pass happy and lost the packers game.

They don’t trust pollard and Davis full time

Why, they were doing fine?

And you lecturing other people about posting crap?

 

[glimmerman]

Our running game is better with him in. I did not see if he was dressed for the game. Sounded like he may have played. Wished he was able to. We usually run more when he is in the game.

i have no problem him being used properly when healthy. Which is to spell pollard on short yardage and mop up duty.

this myth that zeke wears down defenses has yet to be explained to me that makes any sense.

again…..another zeke myth busted. Cowboys ran the ball 31 times Sunday. Only 2 other times this year have the cowboys run more. 34 and 32 times.

are running game is much much better without zeke. Would you like to see the facts to back that up?

And Emmitt's 4.2 yards a carry is horrible also, right? Good luck selling it to Cowboy fans.

Quit agenda muching and you might make sense.

Yes. Pollard has had a few good games. Elliot gets hard yards and Moore is more comfortable with him in the game and pass blocks much better than Pollard. Do not want to hear about the money because the man is already paid. Maybe Pollard will start getting more carries and we pay him his money he will be wanting next year. He is gonna want big money.
