The screen pass

[phildadon86]

The fact Zeke is running wild is awesome. Can you imagine when we start throwing to him more on screens? He was a beast after the catch in Ohio. Are they slowly working up to this? Because I think it would add yet another dynamic to this offense

He did great on one Sunday.

I think you have to watch his workload. So, 15ish carries and like 5 catches, might have to be about it. otherwise, you are setting him up for injury or a shorter career.

15 carries? Dude, have you been watching?

He's getting 20 minimum, every game unless we fall behind.

15 carries may have been a blessing in disguise. Go into GB, he has very fresh legs, and depending on weather and field conditions, those less carries may mean a lot.
Less recovery time. Yes he is young, he is a rookie, but also it isn't college players he is going against.

He was probably watching the Bengals game, where he had 15 carries and the team was in the lead the entire game.

I disagree. He needs a minimum 20 carries, unless it's a blowout.

I can imagine that getting him in open space would more often than not mean trouble for the opposition. Zeke can catch appreciably well. Once the staff teaches him to run routes accurately and properly, he'll be tough to deal with. We just might see some of that vs. Green Bay Sunday (I hope.)

I'm saying, if you want to add more to the workload with the screen passes, you have to limit the carries.

Dude is a rookie, not 29. He's fine. Feed the man if it's working, plain and simple.

Screens must be well-timed, but something Zeke does that I really like is that he can catch them looking over his outside shoulder without losing momentum, then get turned up to find his blocks. I can see him taking a couple the distance this season.

OMG we need to feed this guy. 15 carries is not enough.

In the words of Ben Schwartzwalder. "when you have a thoroughbred, you don't keep him locked in the barn."

 

[MRV52]

So much for Demarco being burnt out after the season he had with us. He is doing fine this year. Feed Elliot the rock 25 times a game.

 

[DogFace]

One of my favorite things is being a condescending smart *** whenever possible.

During a win streak it is known this behavior has to be curtailed. Pass it on.

 

[aikemirv]

Zeke getting 150 a game is not necessarily the goal. The running game getting 150 is. If Morris can continue to get first downs while Zeke takes a break then so be it. The first time Morris spelled him in the 1st half we scored a TD. He spelled him on single plays 3 other times where we ran the ball.

Is there really an issue with any of that?

Yup he was 2nd in rushing last week , he's balling out, so glad the eagles got rid of him

 

[SDCowboy]

He needs to start being thrown to more, period.

I don't think that total even includes carries that were called back because of penalties.
