Do it! What’s the worst that can happen?
from Spotrac
2022 salary fully guarantees on the 5th league day of 2021 (injury guaranteed now)

If not for a 26 yard run yesterday, Zeke would have had 11 carries for 22 yards.
His decline is very concerning.
Should he be released in the offseason?
I guess I'm a minority but Zeke decline has more to do MM and scheme than talent. His numbers don't surprise me at all.......if you look back at MM tenure with the Packers, it's not hard to see RBs are not heavily involved in his scheme. Hell, remember the first presser he only promised Zeke X number of TOUCHES, not carries. So yea, Zeke is way overvalued in this offense but I don't see any way he's NOT back 2021.
Pretty sure you will find a strong correlation between poor RB performance and 3rd string offensive lines....
Told you guys. Nailed to a T.
Scheme and MM? Now that was funny. Thanks for that nice laugh.

He should be asked to take a pay cut.If not for a 26 yard run yesterday, Zeke would have had 11 carries for 22 yards.

His WR's can't block. His TE's can't block. And his offensive line is not playing up to par. But yeah it's all on Zeke.Zeke is quickly becoming a below average RB
His WR's can't block. His TE's can't block. And his offensive line is not playing up to par. But yeah it's all on Zeke.
In 2016 he had some pretty good blocking from the TE and WR positions. I don't like Zeke but it's not all on him.
Zeke is a pounder. He needs around 24 carries to be affective. And that's why I'm not really fond of him.He had the best blocking oline and couldn't even get 5 ypc.
Or put down the bong.I still think biggest issue with run game is the OC and his style of offense. The line is basically 2nd and 3rd teamers. Moore should have lit the Bengals up in the running game but neither back good do anything. Zeke does look like he needs to do more quick twitch exercises in off season.
Too expensive to get rid of.If not for a 26 yard run yesterday, Zeke would have had 11 carries for 22 yards.

Did I type something that made you comprehend I said it was all on Zeke?His WR's can't block. His TE's can't block. And his offensive line is not playing up to par. But yeah it's all on Zeke.

The offensive line definitely isn’t as good as it has been in the past, but you are right, it also hasn’t been as bad as people want to make it out to be in their quest to defend Zeke. It’s like they can’t see multiple things occurring at the same time. The offensive line AND Zeke aren’t as good as they have been in the past.Offensive line hasn't been that bad despite all the injuries.
Plus explain to me why a RB who is paid top money at his position needs a top 5 line to be successful.
Surely there’s got to be something in between third stringers and a top 5 line, idk maybe league average?Offensive line hasn't been that bad despite all the injuries.
