Our chances, nay the season, hinges on one man (not Dak)

[GimmeTheBall!]

Sons of the pigiron, it is clear as day that our season will be determined by the health and cutting power of ... Zeke Elliott.
As goes Zeke, so goes the team.
It is simple as Kyler's study regimen and tha is if Zeke falters, our passing game becomes more forced. With a receivers corps that is in flux, tha reliance on a forced air ball can't help. Good chaps all.
Beyond tha, me fey fellows, it is true about the importance of a balanced running/passing game.

Zeke, like it or not, old fellows, more than anyone else who wears tha star, will determine our success or not.

Holla

Nah it's still Dak as far as a single player goes. But I agree, the rungame will decide whether it will be another irrelevant season or a successful one.

 

[plymkr]

I would say the rookie offensive lineman Smith is the key. If he plays well and solidifies the offensive line then both Dak and Zeke will be better.

Ya since 2016 if Zeke ain't running we are LOSING!!!!
P.S.They could have bought a hand-off machine and spent all those cap dollars building a Raven 2000 defense.....

 

[glimmerman]

It goes how the O-Line goes. They need to block. And Moore has to do a better job calling run plays. A few more off tackle run calls. Last season was all up the middle. But Elliot and Pollard being healthy will be huge.

season hinges on Biadasz being able to protect the middle, open running lanes and protect the QB.

Then they wonder why the rest of the NFL fan base thinks we are a joke.....
A Center holds the destiny of the team in his hands........

How many games Tyron Smith effectively plays will have a lot to do with how the season goes.

Then don't get your hopes up much.

Zeke does not run block, call plays. Nor read defenses.

But if we fail....he did it.

Exactly.

When the center gets steamrolled into the qb on a delayed hand off up the middle.....our destiny is screwed.

Daks fault we can’t run the ball. Lol.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

Daks fault we can’t run the ball. Lol.

I get your point to an extent. But.....He must read defenses and be a option threat.

 

[noshame]

Our season hinges on Moore getting Dak out of the pocket and pollard attacking the outside with the running game.

we roll out last years offense and we're toast

I think it's unrealistic to conclude that this team's season rests upon the success of one man. Nevertheless, it would surely be much more difficult to find success without our running game offering its crucial support. As always, each team requires the success of every member to be successful. This includes our execs and the coaches, as well as the players, themselves. If one or two of these elements are seriously at fault, it's curtains.

Amen. A player can shine at any given moment...... but it's either a team game or not.
Don't try to set up the failure of the team on one guy.....before the season even starts.

 

[cityochamps]

Time to stop relying on Zeke for that type of out put, he still has power but not the speed. Agree with others here who say not one person but the O-line.

 

[kskboys]

Nope. None of that.

Why do we keep losing in the postseason? Because we can't stop the run.

The season hinges on Ridgeway/Bo/Galley/Osa. Maybe we should start looking before the 5th round for a season maker/breaker. Well, you first have to have an org that understands this.

 

[Havic]

Hinges on the O-line imo.
