Our leading rushers

I have asked for proof no other team was interested, and so far I get "well he's HERE".

Not proof of your claim.

Lol when he left to NE, what other visits did he have scheduled? He was a last minute signing.

 

[John813]

So much talent at RB, not enough carries to go around, obviously.

That's pretty thin but you can't have it if it means that much to you.

I would have accepted "I monitored his smart phone"...but whatever!

Lol if you really think Zeke had more interest. Patriots gave him one shot and were done with him

 

[stilltheguru]

Give me a team that Zeke, Dowdle and Deuce would start for besides the Cowboys?

Rams started last year with Kyren Williams and cam akers. Who was Williams prior to last year? Akers played well second half of 2022 but isn't some great talent. Yet miraculously Mcvay had both players perform well behind a pass poor line again WHY IS THAT?

Its not what I said at all. The ability for you to make things up in your head is impressive.

I appreciate where you are going with this post, but I think using QBs to compare against RBs can be misleading. QBs usually take off when they see significant open field when a play breaks down and usually results in longer yardage and averages than RBs...whith that said, your original point that our RBs/OL Run blocking sucks is legitimate.

I agree that yards per attempt for QBs is typically higher, because they typically don't run unless they need to and have an opening. However, over the course of a season, a non-running QB will typically have very few rushing yards. So it's funny/sad to see a guy like Brock Purdy averaging 21 yards a game while our #1 RB is only averaging 20 yards a game. At this rate, Zeke in on pace to rush for 351 yards. That's your average non-mobile QB.

Zeke is a waste of everything. Pathetically bad.

Luepke can right now do everything better than Zeke. Short yardage, block, catch passes and make YAC.

Yyyyep.

 

[TequilaCowboy]

I stated before the season not to expect anything from the running game. Not with these misfits. They were gonna have to rely on the passing game completely and running only to try to keep defenses honest. And we already know Dak is no Mahomes, or even Cousins or Hurts.

No shock as to what’s happening now. Except for the defense being worse than I thought.

Personally, I think the o ly reason JJ wanted to bring Zeke back was so it would justify his dead money, i.e. he thinks he is getting something in return.
It's painfully obvious that JJ is now 100% focused on preserving his money/wealth over any other objective including winning SBs.

But I was told by @RonnieT24 that Zeke was finally healthy from his knee injury. You're telling me Zeke isn't washed up?

Im sure Zeke is healthy

Im also sure Zeke sucks

Fun fact for those who need reminding.


Ezekiel Elliott is costing the cowboys 8 million dollars against the cap this year. Between his 2 million contract and his 6 million in dead money from the prior awful contract they gave Zeke.



Other notable RB cap hits around the league:

Derrick Henry: 5.1 million.

Saquon Barkley: 3.8 million

 

[HungryLion]

He also told you the o-line is fubar as well as the scheme. Nobody is doing anything there not just zeke.

Right?

lol
It’s over Steve. Zeke is washed man. Just come to grips with it.

I think I've reached Joker stage towards the Cowboys. I'm tap dancing down the stairs, maniacally laughing as the world begins to burn...

Nebraska? Texas A&M?

That's fine. I'm good bro. But that's not my point.

Lol...using the 6 mil to bolster your argument. If he wasn't on the team but still getting the 6 would you be making a thread?

Prolly.

Barkley was a steal. Very good RB, finally healthy.
