Pay cut Cowboys will ask Zeke to take will be massive

[Rayman70]

just retire Zeke. The tread is all gone.

 

[rambo2]

Makes sense unless they truly want him gone which is hard to see.

Hard to see? They can draft a back between picks 58 and 129 that is as good as Murray coming out of college and the cost is microscopic compared to Zeke's.

 

[rambo2]

Taking zeke that high was dumb. Taking Bijan at 26 would be awesome.

Taking Gibbs is even better.

 

[tunahelper]

so you are saying our o line is great....and pollard has big holes up the middle...but not zeke.

I will ask AGAIN. When was the last time you saw o line down field looking to block?

OLine played above average and Zeke is average. He can be replaced easily and much cheaper.

 

[Coogiguy03]

And while he’s clearly not worth big money, he’s also not worthless as sone suggest. The answer as always lies somewhere in between.

I think he can have a role on this team in a power running game. The change to a more finesse offensive line and running game didn’t do a power back any favors.

He runs into a lot of contact

OFTEN loves to seek it never runs away from it

 

[Coogiguy03]

Pollard can't handle a full wirk load I don’t think. Get a incentive based deal and get a 100 yards.

Neither can ZEKE

 

[McKDaddy]

t started after 2017, when Garrett and the late RB coach Gary Brown, decided to place even far more offensive burden on Zeke,...bulked him up

This may be true as well but I still contend that he took a hit against Cincy (I think), not sure which season but he was never the same again. It was a hip injury. Got up slowly. Believe he left the game or after one more play. Prior to that play, Zeke we had always known. After, less explosive.

Poor Zeke he deserved a better Cowboy ending.................

At his weight playing center on his last play as a cowboy was actually fitting

ask you once again....when was the last time you saw an o lineman 5 yards up the field looking for someone to pancake?

an above average o line would do that often.

cant say i blame you for not answering the question.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

whats fitting is us asking him to do it....

What other super star RB gets told to block as much as him? You think Sanders or even Emiitt did it? No ing way.

And why wouldn't this abuse be his final play? To make fans like you love it, I guess.

he probably should have whiffedn
and got dak killed.

That happened pretty frequently this year. Tyler, Connor, Terrence all got downfield regularly.

Sure...that's why tony had to "showcase his speed to the edge". Please.

 

[McKDaddy]

lots of emoji's to celebrate being wrong.

 

[tomokawan]

Lol he's actually pretty decent. What are you watching? I wouldn't want Zeke back if played for free, he's a waste of a roster spot

Pollard is not pretty decent. You weren't watching. LOL

 

[conner01]

The $3 million we offer will be more than he gets on the market

Probably right
Zeke is like a car that’s not real old but has 200k miles on it. It’s time for a new car to me
Some think Zeke doesnt give his all. That’s not the issue. Zeke is just worn down from all the carries he had in college and here. I think he still gives it his all each week but his all ain’t what it once was.

You do understand that a runner can get to the sideline and turn the corner yet because the crease was between G & T that he's 8-10 yards down field when he reaches the sideline? The line did their job. This isn't having to go parallel to the LOS and beat defenders to the edge.

Also, let's touch on a few other things. The way you asked the question, even one occurrence would have been sufficient to refute your claim. Even you should know that wouldn't hold water.

A super fan such as yourself surely knows for a good stretch we were running for like 200 yards a game. You think we did that without linemen getting downfield?

Since you mention Tony, you surely remember his long TD run down the left side. Well if you remember that, you remember Tyler like 35 - 40 yards downfield escorting him.

So, why you embarrassing yourself?

Those hits take their toll.
They're cumulative.

Almost half the rushing yards this year compared to his first year.
