McCarthy: Door is open for Zeke return

[john van brocklin]

Come back as what?
Back up long snapper?

Short yardage specialist?

 

[Gonhoz]

Come back as what?
Back up long snapper?

Fullback ???

 

[Hawkeye19]

Just makes no sense to pay him dead money for getting OUT of his contract— and then turn around and sign him to ANOTHER contract

I think MM and the FO are just wanting to honor Zeke and say all the nice things as they move on from him

 

[noshame]

Fullback ???

That should have been the last 2 seasons

 

[Surfguy]

If Zeke returns, then I’m done.

 

[Big_D]

If Zeke returns, then I’m done.

You can't win moving backwards. With Zeke on the roster, that mindset of him being better than he actually is would never go away. I think it's just McCarthy being respectful here, cause surely he can't be serious?! Not if he ever wants to win anything.

Zeke does look done.
But I wouldn't be shocked to see Zeke recover significant productivity. He's only 27. 28 by the season.
A lite year would do his body good. And his YPC.

No doubt his body needs a break from the pounding it has taken in the Kellen Moore offense. All those plunges into the teeth of the defense coupled with having to be the 6th offensive lineman in pass pro have beaten him up. A full year of not doing that might do wonders for him. He might be better served to take the entire season off and come back in '24 fully rested and healed up. But of course no competitor wants to miss games..

It would be the most Cowboy thing ever to sign him again.

Just those heads shots, you hear him talk lately?

For the love of God, we can't even cut someone right. How about focusing on the future and worry about improving this team to WIN!! Instead....but FEELINGS!! Now we have to hear about maybe we do, maybe we don't love him still and want to stay a relationship. But it was SO TOUGH a decision! But Dakota and his good buddy! Talk about underscoring why we are a joke to this league. FO didn't even make this big of a deal out of shedding the freaking all-time leading rusher. Just shut up about Zeke and worry about being competitive enough to win the division and nothing else. He's done, who cares? His jersey is on clearance.

 

[Xeven]

Maybe he can hit filed goals inside the 35?

 

[sacase]

If zeke goes unsigned and our run game is struggling then I wouldn't be suprised to see him back after week 4.

 

[LatinMind]

Big man just wanted his mic time

 

[CowboyRoy]

I thought Zeke was going to take his pick by the end of last week?

Cant pick when there is no one to pick from.

 

[CowboyRoy]

If zeke goes unsigned and our run game is struggling then I wouldn't be suprised to see him back after week 4.

So if our run game is struggling then Zeke is going to help? You mean his 3.8 ypc average is going to help?

Where to you people come up with this stuff?

 

[tyke1doe]

Come back as what?
Back up long snapper?

Offensive lineman?

Grounded in reality and not your fantasy world.

Kellen such a meanie, asking Zeke to run when defenders with helmets and pads might hurt him.

Maybe he does need a long rest. Come back to play when he'll be 29. That should work.

It’s called using intellect and reasoning faculties. I know it’s hard bro.,,,

So you have no proof, thought so...
