Last one I remember is Zeke his rookie year against Pittsburgh took it to the house for like 70.
Think that was 85 yds or so. I believe he had one near 70 the following year against the 49ers.

You are the one that say false things about him, but do not do it for other players. If you don't want me to respond, then just move on and stop posting about him. It can work both ways.
Dak has sucked far worse in many games, but yet you always have an excuse for him.

I just try to educate you on real football issues. But obviously that is a lost cause.

My comment about Moore is true, and you know it.
You blame the OL for Dak's poor play, but when it comes to Zeke, it was all Zeke's fault.
You are already setting up that as an excuse if Dak fails, oh, the OL is the reason.

I am done with you now, so will not read any further posts from you. Far better topics on here for me to look at.
I thought you didnt read my stuff? Lol

Again the oline play affects all players inculding runnning backs and qbs.

Thats football 101. Of course it affects zeke as hes not fast or good enough to make people miss or outrun them.

Probably affects zeke the most.

But again you cant escape the fact that pollard flourished behind the same line.

Pollard > zeke

So no more lies about how i dont say it affects zeke.

There was no one that sucked more than your hero zeke. Its why he no longer works here while pollard got a raise. :thumbup:

Disagree.

However, Zeke was not as bad as Roy claims. Nobody is that bad. I would be better than Roy's vision of Zeke and I probably can't beat Rich Eisen I'm the forty...

Zeke issues remind me of Dez. Both were reliant on great physical ability and didn't develop the nuances of playing their position. Once they lost some physical ability they didn't have great developed skill to fall back on.

Emmitt was never a 225 pound RB that ran a 4.45 forty. He developed his skill from an early age and continued to develop it in the NFL.

In 1022 (Zeke's 7th season) he had less than 1000 yards for the 3rd time in his career.

After his rookie season, Emmitt didn't drop below 1000 yards until year 13...

Zeke was already showing signs of decline In year 5 (2020).

Emmitt's peak was year 6 (1773 yards and 25 TDs).

It was not an over-used issue. Zeke's peak carries were his rookie year with 322.

Emmitt surpassed 322 carries 7 times including year 10 with 329.
Facts are stubborn things.

All we have to do is compare zeke to
Pollard to make zeke look bad. Speaks for itself.

I've heard coaches say they don't run more screens because it takes so much dedicated time at practice to make sure the execution is right.
I'm calling BS on that. How does every other team find the time?

The Malachi Brothers wants their revenge for taking Pinky away from The Count!

Man so I take it you haven't watched the Cowboys or been around here the last few years? People here have been complaining that we don't do lead draws or RB screens anymore like we did in 2016. Especially RB screens. This is great news, Fonz.
I see JJ and his son as The malachi brothers
My issue is why talk about something really basic just do it

.....who had the 2nd most productive offense in the league during his time as the OC.

All nonsensical fan criticisms get destroyed by that fact.
The offense looked like crap come playoff time.. again! and you’ll blame everyone else except the OC. But they beat up on an 8-9 Bucs team. Par for the course. I like how they’re the second most productive until they aren’t. Then it’s McCarthy, Prescott, the defense but certainly not the OC with minimal experience and no playoff success at all on his resume. That is a fact!

The Revelation is that he understands what a screen and draw is for, and when & why to use them. He also said that when the run game is working he will not go away from it and make the other team stop it. Seems like basic math but somehow it eluded kellen the magnificent.
I am a big fan of KM ... now he left i wish him nothing but the best as for our new OC I will wait and see the result .. tired of this club PR talk

Kellen was cool but his learning on the job came at a cost. It now will/should benefit SD.
