PFF: Zeke highest rated RB of week one

[Jake]

He looked quicker than he did last year. That holdout definitely hurt, I don't care how much he worked out during that time.

More please.

 

[cern]

i thought he looked great. deserving of the number one status.

@aria Man address this I know they lying no way lol......

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

You too @CowboyRoy you said Zeke ain't top 5 no more right and Pollard is better?

 

[Risen Star]

I didn't notice any difference from last year but I thought he was fine last year too. Is he as fast as he was as a rookie? No but that may be by design. The dude carries a heavy workload and may need to carry more weight because of it.

 

[The Natural]

Best runner and blocker on the field Sunday.

 

[CowboyRoy]

You too @CowboyRoy you said Zeke ain't top 5 no more right and Pollard is better?

Zeke has unreal durability and toughness. That's about it for me. Personally I do RB by committee at 1/3 the price of Zeke with an eye towards multi skilled, fast, homerun threat types. I would be hard pressed to spend even a first rounder on a back.

Might be talked into guys like henry or McCaffrey. Henry is everything in a power back that Zeke isn't.

True, but did you notice that the Rams run game was better? And that was with 3 different backs and none of them were a first round pick.

Did you notice the constant motion the Rams utilized in their run game? if Zeke played for them he would have put up 150 on this defense sunday night.

 

[JoeKing]

@aria, how does this happen? He's an overpaid bum, right?

Maybe more. But he would have needed 30 carries to do it like he always does.

The point being...……..you don't need a Zeke to have a good run game.

Oh I see, you're one of those posters with an agenda. I won't waste my time

Henry had 31 carries for a 116 yards with a 3.7 average. 0 touchdowns and 3 receptions. Young man better get paid soon because his best years could already be behind him.

He got paid. Signed a long term deal prior to the July 15th deadline. 4 years 50mil

 

[jay94]

I was impressed with Zeke's performance.

So was I.....looking forward to seeing how the rest of the season turns out for him.

He was smart and took what they offered because I have a strong feeling with his style of running.....his game is going to come to a crashing halt real quick.

You have to be especially for week 1. Zeke usually starts off slow. If this is Zeke starting off slow? Watch out.

@aria Man address this I know they lying no way lol......

It’s pointless, there were 4 other running backs with more yards, several with the same or higher ypc (including a 2015 UFA by the name of Malcolm Brown) and others with more receptions. Guys like Cern don’t watch any other teams so they’re completed blinded by facts.

And the funny thing is that the majority of those other RB’s weren’t even drafted in the first round, let alone top 5 overall, and/or aren’t even amongst the top 10 paid RB’s.

WASTE OF MONEY!

I will say Zeke was the best player on the field from the cowboys on Sunday
