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

[kskboys]

For any good team..the season hinges in the trenches. Our run blocking gets no push, let alone a hole. That is why Pollard seemingly looked better to those looking at stats or ditching zeke. Most of his plays were away from the the inside trenches ...as well they should be that's where he excels.

Same on our defense...we HAVE to get push or at least stand them up.

It's a tried and true method. Win the trenches. When you think of our Cowboys great teams.....that's where we did it then and today is no exception.

The season hinges on the lines. Anything else is attention seeking or agenda driven.

Or are weirdly obsessed w/ the QB position.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Those are the types that aren't smart enough to evaluate anything, so they just drone on about the QB.

I'm aware of that lol. I'm just pointing out what happened in my thread about that.

Dear lad, speaking of poseurs, leave a list of your concerns with me secretary.
Your issues are something I would like to be interested in.
(Excuse the lack of parallel construction, errant preposition.)
Carry on then good fellows all!

Talk about poseurs! Me thinks either the stick is placed up a certain private area, or searching for attention and adoration, a schtick if you will. When worry is placed upon ending the sentence with a preposition, on an internet sports message board, surely something is amiss. Even for pure entertainment....and odd fellow.

Now...my colleagues will tell you I am the resident grammar cop. However...in some situations, it's just a distraction or "look at me" tactic. May I cite a reasonable source? Yes, I shall!

"Grammar snobs love to tell anyone who will listen: You should NEVER end a sentence with a preposition! Luckily for those poor, persecuted prepositions, that just isn’t true. Here are a few preposition guidelines:

Don’t end a sentence with a preposition
1 In formal writing


Which journal was your article published in? (Casual)
In which journal was your article published? (Formal)


It’s not an error to end a sentence with a preposition, but it is a little less formal. In emails, text messages, and notes to friends, it’s perfectly fine. But if you’re writing a research paper or submitting a business proposal and you want to sound very formal, avoid ending sentences with prepositions."

So let us carry on like "notes to friends"...shall we?

Yawn.

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

Jerry is that you?

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

Yawn.

LOL...exactly what a fake poser would say!
Thank you for proving my point better than I ever could! Perfect!

 

[McKDaddy]

It goes how the O-Line goes.

Yep, they just didn't open many holes after about game 6. Zeke will be the player who seems to have suddenly been rejuvenated but it will really be the Oline's production being rewarded. This of course assumes they improve.

I think it hinges on 5 guys
The oline
Zeke can’t carry the run game if there aren’t holes
Play action won’t work if you can’t protect the QB
The run game doesn’t hinge on a RB but what the oline gives a RB to work with

Exactly. This is easy stuff.

Not sure why gimme put his stakes on Zeke. Mental breakdown? Attention deficit? Setting up Zeke as the fall guy? Straight up trolling?

Zeke isn't the hinge. O-line is...straight up and simple.... for the unimpaired.

A Quotidian poll showed that 85% of non football people agreed with Stephen the Cowboy. 5% said he's Looney and 10%, all men, wanted to take Stephen the Cowboy to cheerleader camp all expenses paid.

You are on to something, Stephen the Cowboy.
Send all your ideas to the other Stephen in Frisco. Mark it urgent and time-sensitive material.

No team's chances hinges on one player.

Your honor...I present this evidence gimmie is trolling. The hooks were set. "Zeke" says the troller. Some random fish comes by and innocently nibbles the hook. "NO....not zeke" the innocent fish says.

Blam...troller sets the hook....and proceeds to lecture at the innocent fish as if he were Percival C. McLeach . "HAH...GOTACHA YOUR POOR DUMB SOB...think yer so smart huh? well I GOTCHA GOTCHA GOTCHA."

Why would this gimmie guy give me so much grief for correcting his wrong premise that "zeke is the hinge"? Is it because I called him out for his putting on airs? (that admittedly other people may have found quaint and amusing). Grammar copping a friendly forum message board? That's it? That's all I did to deserve this? Oh poor me....I made gimmie mad...whatever shall I do?

All that bluster for moi?

Dear boy, I read your entreaty, above, and in secondary school. It involved teen delusion ... anger.
I must not tarry too much on you, Stephen, because it is only you. Now, rid tha smirk, Stephen, and give us a hug. Go off with ya!

Noooooo. NTs are the top players of any team!
Don't let them tell you the NT<QB!
