Insane if true. Shocked he didn’t get cut after that.

I think the issue was him saying why should he work hard if he’s not going to get playing time and that’s the complete wrong way to go about it.So he was asking for an opportunity when it was clear zeke was done and that's a perceived bad thing? Maybe some tact and coaching on self awareness and how to articulate his view would have been warranted but he should have gotten a chance...I don't get it
But he was the guy wasn’t he? Had Zeke or Pollard gotten hurt wasn’t he next in line?Yeah I agree with the above. This can't be the whole story. I know he is a "nobody" and not a second round pick like Bossman or Trysten Hill but he has a point that he wants to be the guy they go to in an emergency like that. If they don't trust him, don't believe he is a hard worker or don't see results when he is in the game then he should have already been cut.

Probably would have put in Turpin or whoever but they wanted him to sit and stew. But hey, he is still on the team so like I said this angle of the story doesn't sound right.But he was the guy wasn’t he? Had Zeke or Pollard gotten hurt wasn’t he next in line?

Who could've possibly told this to Broadus? Obviously no defensive coaches. Moore? I doubt anybody talks to that dude like thatI would be very reluctant to just act like this is reality when the only person saying it is Broaddus.
I think some version of this happened but I have no doubt that some parts are being left out. Broaddus will lean things in the way he wants them to go.
But did he demonstrate that in practice, etc. or was it just an emotional comment he never followed through with? This reminds me of that incident with Pollard where he had a big game and Skip Peete is later saying that Pollard couldn't do more than 15 touches or something like that. There was audio of Pollard saying his legs were shot or something after a long run but that could also have been an emotional statement. If we needed Pollard more, we'd have gotten him out there unless he was hurt. Off topic, it was a dumb statement for the RB coach to be putting in the press so consider the sources.I think the issue was him saying why should he work hard if he’s not going to get playing time and that’s the complete wrong way to go about it.
But Malik hasn't been cut, so what does that mean? It means Malik is good enough to keep on the team, but the front office wanted to make sure Zeke got all the carries in order to justify his $16 million dollar salary, even if it cost the team. It was 'sink or swim' with Zeke come playoffs time, and sadly, Zeke sunk, thus costing the Cowboys.Yeah I agree with the above. This can't be the whole story.

It’s hard for that person to gain trust if you refuse to ever open the doorYeah I agree with the above. This can't be the whole story.
