They have no D Line and a hurt, bad secondary. There are a couple of nice pieces on D and a newly weakened Offense without Bennett and Forte. We should beat them and Zeke, Dez, Beasley and Dak should have a field day.Chicago should boost Zeke confidence.
There does seem to be an element missing in Elliotts toolbox. Lets see where he is after 8 games.Has he broken a tackle yet...made a nifty cutback? And the most glaring thing that pops out to me is I don't find him demonstrating the instinct for sunshine...the elite vision that historically good running backs have.
Really? When is this happening? Week 7? 10? 14?

They benched him with the game on the line. That's enough. No more messages need to be sent. He's not a child. He knows fumbles are bad (he went to Ohio State for Christ's sake)Give Morris the start next week as a subtle (or not so subtle) message to him and the rest of the team. Or have him carry/protect a football all week, have defensive players take shots at it.
then be done with it, he'll be fine.
No, everyone said how great DMC's 1089 and 3 TDs wereNah, all we heard about were the early proclamations of immediate greatness by Zeke.

Now that he's struggled a bit, they're changing their tune to "its way too early...."
AMorris got 3 carries...exactly what his role is.....reliable veteran back-up RBThey benched him with the game on the line. That's enough. No more messages need to be sent. He's not a child. He knows fumbles are bad (he went to Ohio State for Christ's sake)

I Simply disagree JG should show the team 0 tolerance, even the 4th overall pick can ride the bench... I'm not talking about only giving him 5 carries, just sit him the first series, it really not much more then a slap on the wrist.They benched him with the game on the line. That's enough.

I know Morris's role. Elliott is more important.AMorris got 3 carries...exactly what his role is.....reliable veteran back-up RB

Care to elaborate. Not down on the kid at all but surely his psyche is strong enough to handle this.
Agreed. I am a big fan. Just seems like there is something not right. The missed pre season could well explain it. That makes the most sense.I think the biggest thing missing is pre-season reps. They spent too much time with him on the sidelines stretching his sore hamstring.
But he was better this week than last, so he's working into form.
It was the right thing to do, but all this negative Zeke talk is ridiculous. Dude will be great and we should be pretty stoked as we have our future QB and RB and they are rookies! Now, let's fix this Defense and contend for NFC East.
