Twitter: SFY: Emmitt Smith saying Zeke should be the focal point of the Cowboys’ offense

[DuncanIso]

Zeke is in the best shape of his life..........again .

This is a passing league now. Take a look around. Running the ball is important, but it won't take you deep into the playoffs anymore. The Titans are a prime example of that.

Throwing the ball is what wins games in todays league. The rules are set up that way.

#21 had 1200+ APY and 12 TDS on a torn PCL.

That's nice.

And they were the only home team to lose in the Wild Card round.

It's not the 90s anymore, Smith.

It's not the 90s anymore, Smith.

But of course we take your word over emmitt smith.

yup. hard to argue with Emmitt.

Tough on the #ZekeHaters

 

[morasp]

He's right.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

Because of Zeke?

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

They know and in fact, admitted (Jerry Jones) they overpaid for an Average QB who needs Zeke and the defense to carry him.
Cap won't allow building a Ravens 2000 def and offline and Zeke are older so you do the math?

What are you even talking about?

 

[VaqueroTD]

I’m sure Emmitt can relate because I remember everyone calling for the same thing in his last years here too. And we saw what a difference Troy Hambrick made! (/sarcasm)

Pollard will get his carries especially if Zeke continues at same pace as his injury. Zeke deserves benefit of the doubt but this league doesn’t wait long on declining players.

Because of Zeke?

My point is that this is a passing league. Just look around. It's obvious. The rules dictate it.

Running Zeke 30 times a game gets us nowhere

That is not historically accurate. The more we run zeke....the more successful we are.

12 times a game? Is typically a loss.

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

we started last season 7-2 (6-0 run)because of zeke 5.1 YPC top 3 in the league before he got hurt.

IT was the run game , was zeke , only thing over the hill is your opinions.

Jerry said, it zeke said it, ES22 says it, but you think you carry more weight than those people..wow the clueless nature of fan egos are shocking,..

zeke isnt 2016 zeke ,Neither is the OL or team, zeke started last year like 2018 Zeke and if healthy and when pollards used as compliment the run game can carry the offense and take the heat off Dak..

this is more on MOORE 2019-present zeke production went down with the OL and OC schemes,

You and Jerry think alike.
You and Jerry cling to the hope of rejuvenation.
Stay with it, your attempt to raise the dead.
I guess 31 yards rushing by Sequel against the 49ers was an anomaly, a one-time glitch and not a look into the future.
You and Jerry are like conjoined twins, you pick Jerry's brains, then his pockets then his football smarts.
Keep it up. Enjoy the clown car, old boy.

It's a passing league correctly stated but NOT in Dallas........

Itcould be a passing league....but the nfc is stll a balanced conference that relies on the run game to hold the clock and put the game away.

Guess that's why the Rams traded the house to get Stafford?
Excuse me the Superbowl-winning Rams........

 

[sunalsorises]

I’ve not been impressed with Zeke out of the backfield catching passes. Emmitt was good at that.

 

[starfan1]

Part of that’s on getting behind the other is on KM

Yep, The SB winning Rams and all of their 43 yds of rushing, lol.

Its like a night and day difference comparing this team to that though. They don't "need" to run to win. Dallas does. Period.

Hard for me to even imagine Dallas not requiring a strong run game to win. The correlation of having a strong run game to whether Dallas wins or loses can't be disputed with this team.

We ain't winning jack squat without a run game.
I don't know about doing the old bell cow carries
approach for Zeke, but Kellen better get it figured out to return it to how it looked the first 6 or 7 games last year when he was sharing the run between the 2 of them.

It's beyond obvious at this point.
No run game, no W.

I mean, outside of the Least anyway. lol

 

[JoeKing]

Of course, Emmitt is going to say that.
