Is Zeke sitting again?

Numbers don’t lie buddy. At this point you just come across as bitter and stubborn.

No, you are the bitter and stubborn one. I guess you are looking in the mirror, again.

Thanks for the entertainment today.

This year in the 4th quarter, Zeke has 25 carries for 61 yards for 2.6 ypc. Seems like Zeke is more worn out than defenses are. Again, your blind homerism won't allow you to see the truth

Again, you are wrong about me.
Obviously Zeke needs more carries and a better OC.
When he calls runs up the middle against stacked boxes over and over. What can you expect.

So if the runs up the middle don’t work and he can no longer beat the defense to the edge or get to the edge on passes into the flat, what type of plays should they run with him in? How many times do we need to see him stopped behind the line of scrimmage or get a 1-2 yard gain, before we go with the younger backs , that can break long runs , consistently ?

The "wearing down" is predicated on having had enough carries in quarters 1-3 to have that effect. That has not been the case at all this season. The majority of the 4th quarter totes this year have been eat the clock, both arms on the ball and fall down mode this year. Context matters man.

We need an OC that is more creative. And not just in the run game, but the passing game as well.
And knows when to not call stupid trick plays, and knows when to stop calling the same plays that never work.

100% agree with that. Moore has wasted our weapons for years now. Just a continuation of Garrett.

I'd like to see Zeke back for OTAs

 

[Pass2Run]

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

Yep.

 

[eromeopolk]

Would it be 3 in a row or not?

I hope so. I got him on IR fantasy football and I need him out so I can pick up Toney, Peoples, Watson, V. Jefferson or Elijah Mitchell

I don't generally get caught up in worrying about salaries. Zeke got his reward for that 3 year stretch of being the best RB in football and one of the best players period. That put over $50 million in his bank account. I think he's set for life and can play for pennies after this year. And I believe a guy like him will. Play for pennies that is. He clearly loves the game, loves competing and loves being with his brothers (teammates).. Whether he stays in Dallas or goes elsewhere I expect him to continue to be a good football player and a good teammate. Maybe the years have taken the "great" out of his description.. We will never find out as long as he's with Kellen Moore.

I think there's some truth to that statement about Kellen Moore. They use Zeke almost entirely like a battering ram straight up the gut and have done so for a long time. Even back when he was faster, IMO they wasted a fair amount of his talent on that battering ram stuff instead of getting him out into space where he could really show off his ability. He's not as fast now as he used to be. I think it would be interesting if they used him as a fullback to block for Pollard, but they don't and won't.

Hope not they need him badly
