Running Zeke into the ground?

[Chocolate Lab]

Yes. He's taking a huge beating out there. He doesn't have that ability (or desire) like a lot of great backs to avoid hard hits at the last instant.

He gets the better of a lot of those collisions because he's so big, but he still takes a lot of punishment.

We really need to get a better backup. Rod Smith is great against the scrubs he faces in pre-season games but he isn't the hammer we need in the regular season that can spell Zeke and be just as potent coming out of the backfield.
