Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott had by far the worst game of his career on Sunday, managing just nine carries for eight yards in a blowout loss to the Broncos. And Elliott is hearing it today for what appeared to be a lack of effort.

Hall of Fame running back LaDainian Tomlinson was particularly vocal in his criticism of Elliott.

“I didn’t like the way he quit today. I didn’t like that. He absolutely quit on his team today,” Tomlinson said of Elliott on NFL Network.

He's not exactly wrong.

 

[John813]

Make them eat their words, Zeke.

But yea, he didn't play with that fire yesterday.

 

[MagicMan]

Overreaction Monday......

 

[pacy]

It's all this court thing that's in his head. It caught up with him.
But the oline didn't help him either.

Honestly, I wouldn't put that past him. History is littered with guys who have had struggles on the field while dealing with off the field issues.

Yea..I guess he didn't run fast enough into the multiple defenders who were waiting for him at the LOS when the ball was handed to him.

We lost for many reasons...Zeke wasn't one of them.

If he was please explain to me how?

 

[mardwin]

The team quit on Zeke first.

See bolded.

Kinda like how LT sat out the AFC championship game when he should've played. Philip Rivers and Antonio Gates DON'T like this guy for a reason.

Tomlinson quietly earned a rep as a quitter himself in the playoffs, so it's kind of weird to see him playing that card as a commentator.

Overreaction Monday......

Over-reactions are commonplace on Monday's for sure. However, this is not one of those cases. Stating a fact isn't over-reacting. Zeke did quit. It was very apparent for all to see.

 

[NeonNinja]

LT is last guy that should be calling another player out about effort or quitting.

 

[superonyx]

I didnt realize LT was on the sidelines...Heck I dont think he was even at the game and yet he knows what Zeke was saying on the sidelines now.


From the article
“First, his attitude on the sideline,” Tomlinson said. “Clearly, he didn’t have any communication with his teammates. But also, he didn’t want to talk to his teammates. Sometimes when things are going wrong, as a leader of that team as a captain, you got to step up and rally the troops. You’ve got to go to the offensive line and say, ‘I know it’s tough but let’s keep battling, let’s keep fighting.’ You got to go to the quarterback and say, ‘Hey man, I’m not getting it done today – you got to step it up.’ You got to rally the troops. . . . They need him to do that because last year, he led the league in rushing. So, everybody is looking at him as the top dog. So, if you want to be the top dog, you got to do it on and off the field.”

The team quit on Zeke first.

This can't be a serious post. So 52 other players and the coaching staff were all standing around with their hands on their hips giving up before Zeke did? Having a man-crush on a player can blind people I suppose.

LT nailed it. Grow up son...... OR GO BACK TO OHIO.

Also..... Can someone tell Dez he's a #1 WR? Stop running lazy routes and catch the **** ball...

Lazy routes = INTs

“At age 27, that was unfortunately the last time Tomlinson was able to be his true, dynamic self.

The next season, the Chargers had an opportunity to exact revenge on the Patriots in the AFC Championship game.

While Chargers QB Philip Rivers played through a torn ACL, Tomlinson aggravated a mysterious injury.

The specifics of the injury were never determined, but LT sat alone on the bench with his helmet and visor on for most of the game.

He finished the contest with two carries for five yards, as the Chargers lost 21-12.

According to the recap of the game prior, Tomlinson left in the second quarter with a bruised left knee.

It’s unclear how Tomlinson hurt himself so much against the Patriots to the point where he couldn’t play in the biggest game of his life

Zeke's too busy eating twinkies and ring dings to eat words.

plus I think all the stuff he is going threw is messing with his head
