So far murray is the complete back and EE is less than avg.

You arrived at this conclusion after two games?

Rush and to, meet judgment.

key words were "so far"

 

[DandyDon52]

Murray fumbled plenty in college and the NFL.

Elliott fumbled once in three years at Ohio State.

He'll fix it immediately.

What they did in college is irrelevant ,and it is speculation to say what either will do rest of season.
EE may not fumble again, but he might have several more.

I am just comparing what they have done in first 2 games.
Murray has same yards in 25 carries, that EE does in 41 carries.

I need to look at henry too see what he has done.

No he doesn't hold the ball perfectly at least at impact , on the Norman fumble instead of tucking the ball to his body he moved it away at impact. Almost like a reflex.

It's like Jerry comes on these boards, sees what the talk of the town is, and then makes a comment to troll and watch the fire go.

That or national and local media asked him about Zeke's two fumbles and the subsequent benching like any sane reporter would.

Fumbling is fumbling.

Look at how he carries the ball. High and tight, hand around the point, tucked close to his body and into his armpit. That's textbook.

Compare these two TYPICAL pictures of Elliott and Murray.

We could do this silliness all day.

Fact is he needs to stop fumbling. I am hopeful that is exactly what will happen.

Your pick is when he's in the clear about to score, watching himself on the video board.

You know how Murray carried it. I'm certain that drove you as crazy as it did me.

By the way, that was the day Alabama was a 9-point favorite, and Zeke went for 230 yards on them.

“He fundamentally carries the ball really sound,” Jones said, via the Dallas Morning News. “He carries it. He carries it up against him. We won’t get into all of that detail, but if you asked the question: Is he very sound in the way he holds the football? He is.”

Jones said the fumbles won’t result in Elliott getting less playing time.

“No. They will not, at all,” Jones said. “He’s a big man and he carries it properly. He does a good job of finishing, which means he’s trying to give the tacklers more than he’s getting in terms of how you absorb hits. All of that makes him a sound ball carrier fumbling wise.”

I actually agree. It's the one thing I noticed most when watching him play in college. He ALWAYS had the ball High and tight. I am shocked he fumbled twice. And I'm happy it happened in a win. Nothing better than learning from mistakes with a Win.

It's funny , because at least Jerry is willing to say something about it. Garrett is not going to give up anything. Either way, people complain about both styles and there is nothing wrong with either.

Just to irritate some here lol
Rushing
DeMarco Murray 25 /131_ 5.2 + long-67_ 20+-1 rush td's 0/ per game 65.5 fumbles 1 _1lost was on a handoff, which to me was on mariota.
Ezekiel Elliott 41 /134_ 3.3 + long-21_ 20+ -1 rush td's 2/ per game 67.5 fumbles 2 _1lost
Receiving
DeMarco Murray 12 for 91 avg 7.6 _2 td's _22 long per game 45.5
Ezekiel Elliott 3 for 5 yds !_ 1.7 avg _ 0 td long 3 yds _ 2.5 avg per game

EE was supposed to be the complete back and run and catch, and no fumbles.
So far murray is the complete back and EE is less than avg.

Not his fault they dont use him to throw to,in the flat, but it is what it is.

2 games.

You've already been corrected.

Stop parroting bad information.

 

[DandyDon52]

Murray had that issue with not putting his hand on the nose of the ball, so why didnt dallas coaches correct him on that ??

In that picture zeke is holding it right , I need to see how he was holding it on the 2 fumbles.
And I am not down on zeke, just saying so far he has not been very good. Our run blocking has sucked too, and it isnt just men in the box.
Hopefully he does better.

Henry only had 14 for 43yds 3.1avg 9yds longest 21.5 per game no fumbles
receiving
3 for 50 16.7avg 0 td's 29 long, 42 yac he has done good in this area.
