Steelers coach Mike Tomlin: Whatever Cowboys need Ezekiel Elliott to do, he 'does it like breathing'

[RS12]

Steelers coach Mike Tomlin has some high praise for the Dallas Cowboys' stable of running backs.

In his media availability with Pittsburgh reporters on Tuesday, Tomlin shared his admiration of rookie Ezekiel Elliott and Alfred Morris, saying "you get no downs off" against Dallas.

Tomlin's biggest compliments were for Elliott, calling him a natural, according to Steelers writers.

Instincts..

The guy is made to be a RB.

You forgot cutting ability and explosion.

You forgot cutting ability and explosion.

And his blocking ability. That's my favourite aspect of his game next to his ability to fall forward or drag defenders for yards.

Instincts..

The guy is made to be a RB.

Agreed -- the funny part is, he seems to get more instinctive each and every week. He just keeps getting better.

 

[MagicMan]

What I like best from Zeke is the confidence he has in himself and the confidence he brings to the already awesome OL. They know just create some gaps and you got a guy who can bring it. He, and Dak, are bringing the swagoo to the team. Yeah, baby...

 

[Daillest88]

The last couple weeks we have witnessed his physicality. That screen pass that looked to be a one yard loss than ends up gaining 6 yards was impressive

 

[Doomsay]

That 3rd & 9 check-down catch and run in our first series of the Eagles game was a thing of beauty. It looked like 7 yards of lunge for the 1st down, not many players could have done that. Got us out of deep trouble and even though we didn't score in that series, it kept the game neutral rather than negative in the early stages.

 

[robbieruff]

That's why he's an MVP candidate...

 

[Aven8]

Best weapon in football right now!

 

[CATCH17]

Best weapon in football right now!

Imagine how good we'll be once Romo comes back!

 

[ufcrules1]

What I like most about Zeke is all the clueless fans not wanting us to draft him at #4.. saying it was too early to take a RB

 

[Idgit]

That's a lot of praise for the whole team.

I respect Coach Tomlin a lot and expect him to put together a really good game plan against us. I think we have a good chance to win, but the team will certainly have to work hard to earn it. The Steelers are going to be a worthy opponent.

 

[Aven8]

Imagine how good we'll be once Romo comes back!

Yep. Will have the 2nd best backup in the league just right behind Weedon!

Well...the steelers have the best weapon in football, but the gap is closing.

 

[Direwolf63]

LOL. I think Tomlin likes us.

Not anymore.

Steelers fans talk about tomolin the way people here talk about garrett.
