The disheartening thing about that play was that a guy caught him from 5 yards back. I think in years past when he was "the fresh guy" that's a house call.

But to your first point.. Uh no.. there absolutely are not any holes for him to work with very often. Many of us complained about this the last couple of years and people blamed Zeke. This line has not done a good job with the between the tackles run plays for the last two plus seasons. That's a problem that needs to get fixed if they're going to do ANYTHING in the playoffs. I just don't know what they can do at this other than hope more time on the field as a unit allows them to get better at it.
Larry Allen once caught from behind and over as great a distance from behind, a running back as well. Sometimes that involves not being able to observe constantly those in pursuit. 60 yards and breaking contact after free lancing a pass reception...I don't know, but I'm not complaining about a single thing.

You have to mention Dowdle as well. He stoned Murray on a blitz up the middle on a key completion downfield. I cant remember exactly when it happened but definitely in the 2nd half.

What you mad about and what you inferring to now (team crying, fan first, squat skills) warrants another Huh? But all good. You made a point.....I guess.
Either listen, or go straight ahead. That's no where approaching right on!

You play like you don't understand an explanation of how he could handle the very thing you were belittling the player for. Just stick to you HUH'S, but leave me out of YOUR vanity. You know that word as well...you move on! :popcorn: :thumbdown:

Yeah. I think all of us saw that block. Well done, Mr. Pollard. That gentleman is the back we need this year. Actually, I like our whole running back squad.

The strength of the offensive line is completely in development through this season. They now are solid, but not yet again a strength and true stabilization against top teams or just a purely physical fighting team. This may be an issue in the off season, but this year should stabilize fuller when all tools are developed and become factors.

No it was a linebacker who had just picked off Troy and who was on his way to scoring if not for Larry. I think the Saints ended up scoring anyway but if I recall correctly that was the game in which Emmitt first pulled his hammie. That was the game that IMHO cost the Cowboys their chance at a threepeat because Emmitt was the engine that drove that team and with him severely hampered they simply were not the same team. Not just physically but from a mentality standpoint either. I think with a healthy Emmitt they go out to San Fran and whup the Niners again and then go on to curb stomp the Chargers in the Super Bowl.

TP has blocked very well. Issue is none of the other backs can block and TP is getting worn thin.
