Lol @ PFF

"Ezekiel Elliott, RB, Cowboys (Ohio State)
Snaps: 291

Overall grade: 75.9

Through seven weeks of the season, Ezekiel Elliott leads the league in rushing (703 yards), but much of the heavy lifting has been done by the Dallas offensive line. Only five backs have a smaller percentage of their rushing yards come after contact, and Elliott has broken only 11 tackles. He has played well, but not nearly as well as the box-score stats suggest."

But you never draft running backs that high.

The Ramsey bashing on this forum is really bizarre.

For the record, I wanted Wentz over Ramsey and Zeke..... but it seems like everyone who was pro-Zeke during the draft on this forum goes out of their way to thump their chests about how right there were.

Without realizing that Ramsey has been very good this year.

Lack of research and blatant bias. It runs rampant here, especially this year. Really tiresome.

You actually watch the Jags every week to know?

When someone complains about one of our QB's accuracy because a throw is slightly high ... throw on some tape of Bortles. Holy moly.

I wanted Ramsey, but I had no idea Carr and Claiborne would play this well, this season. I think Jones at FS has helped quite a bit in that regard.

It should because he would have been a horrible pick for this team there.

 

[mattjames2010]

Have you actually seen the grades on him weekly? Have you seen the lack of yards he has yet to give up? Have you seen how QBs aren't targeting him? There is an entire thread on this if you want to go check it out in the other zones.

Even IF Ramsey has a bad night, this would be his first and is not indicative of his entire year.

He has some serious mechanical issues that need to be worked out.

From today's Sports Illustrated story on Elliott:

"Of his 703 rushing yards this season, 293 have come after contact—yet another league-leading statistic for the 6-foot, 225-pound back."

(Source: http://www.si.com/nfl/2016/10/27/ezekiel-elliott-dallas-cowboys-emmitt-smith)

How can he both lead the league in this statistic and be among the lowest in the league percentage wise?

 

[ak47kaehu]

I completely forgot that the jags had drafted myles jack. Is he even starting?

 

[Alexander]

LOL

Ramsey fan boiz.

Rushing to his defense.

 

[Hardline]

Ramsey isn't a difference maker.
Zeke is.

 

[Doomsday]

Great run by Murray there

How many of those yards have come away from the line?

Because, like 2014, Murray had nearly 1,000 yards after contact. So, did we just spend a top 5 pick on a player that did something a third rounder can do behind this line?
