Zeke must be Superman then if he is faster than a speeding bullet.Rookie burst Zeke was faster than Bob Hayes.

It's a different story for just about everybody's Pro Day workouts. When was the last time a guy ran SLOWER at his pro day? Pro Days are set up to make the player look good. I pretty much ignore them all. In reality none of these guys will ever be as fast as they were during the run up to the draft because they all pretty much quit sprint training to any degree the minute their names are called on draft day. Not that they won't be fast.. but they simply will never be as lean and finely tuned for speed as they were during that process. Some guys are exceptions and they keep training for speed throughout their careers. But most do not..
I agree. We had multiple injuries and had to move some people around. Who was the bum playing next to Smith. Conner Williams I think, he was never going to be strong enough. Baidas is on his last breath for me. We should have paid Looney for another year. Loosing Fredbeard hurt bad. But this O-Line hasn’t played the same since new O-Line coach took over. Technique seems different. I don’t watch college ball, do you know if the O-Line we drafted is any good.
Speaking of speed training .. that’s what I am seriously wondering about Zeke’s offseason training. If he is continuing with Skip Hicks as a ‘personal trainer .. where he’ll slim-fast
de-hydrate it down in the spring, and then hydrate- balloon it up again come reg season ?
Is still doing the Skip Hicks method only with the sweat bags and jumping around cones ?
Instead of the track & field to increase (regain) agility ala his high hurdle ..and short area/long speed ?
ZKE had a track field background which no doubt set a standard with his long speed at OSU and 2016, why would he not focus more in that area of speed training
I thought I’d see him at per say Michael Johnson training program than doing the Skip Hicks again.
Elliott had a combine time than PollardZeke was never faster than Pollard.
LOL. Exactly! Bob Hayes is arguably the fastest NFL player ever.Zeke must be Superman then if he is faster than a speeding bullet.
Zeke was never faster than Pollard.
Prolly should let it play out first. You're a bitter too giddy about your prediction.2016 Zeke was an absolute super star. Pollard could never hope to be in that class. 2022 Zeke is a turd. Pollard is the better option now.
It’s MM style. He came here and is running it like he ran packers. He could have had a killer run game with this O-Line if he hired a run game coach for the line.
Seem more of a pass game O-Line play and running is secondary and used to keep you guessing. We let Looney go with JG to the giants. He wasn’t asking for much money. He went to the giants and retired before the season started. I think he was bummed by not being picked up by his favorite team.
He was a solid player that would have really helped the O-Line when Collins fell off. Now we are left a mess with a coach that is not worthy of this run first team. I just hope we get back to run strong and first and set up the pass. Imposing our will on teams is what gives us that swag. Let’s get it back and improve the D.
I’m top of having everything else over him. He can get that back if he commits to totaling less hits and better conditioning.
Looney got help from Martin when he filled in for Fredbeard. They held it together for the most part. But Looney could play most positions averagely. That’s a good backup to have..worth the 2 million or so a year he was paid..MM's OL coach is his long time buddy Joe Philibin, he didn't want to keep on OL coach Marc Columbo, who operated under a man-scheme that emphasize power blocking.
Philibin is part of the Packers zone scheme way of operating,.. blocking for an area, pass off, trapping and pulling, i dunno if it plays up to our OL's strength.
but that's the only thing i believe McCarthy has brought here in Dallas.
Looney was a JAG, dunno why he was always trying to help out with Zack Martin when he should've been helping out with Conner Williams.

We are a power blocking team. We take out our man and get to the next level. That’s what springs Elliot to the next level or makes the move to the outside where the WR secures blocks to let him be gone.. Time for MM to leave his buddy home and get with a coach that will help the team and help make MM look good..
of course Zeke is fatter than Pollard...I’m top of having everything else over him. He can get that back if he commits to totaling less hits and better conditioning.
This line has gotten steadily worse since Leary departed. Not that they are chopped liver but they are not 2016 by a long shotAmen brother.. I honestly don't understand why they were so anxious to send Looney packing. He was never going to be an all pro like Fredbeard but dude was solid and reliable. I'm 100% with you on the line play wince Philbin was hired. Other than that nice 4 game stretch early last season the running game has been sporadic at best. They ran for at least 200 yards 7 times in 2018 and 2019.. And did it a total of twice in 2020 and 2021 combined. They've fallen off.. badly.

Who really cares who’s faster. I care about picking the right holes, picking up your blocks. Not taking yourself out of the football game because you get a little gassed , I care about not tripping over your own ego on the goal line in the playoffsI’m top of having everything else over him.

Pollard took himself out for an entire gave while zeke played hurt.Who really cares who’s faster. I care about picking the right holes, picking up your blocks.
