We got our replacement bell cow!

[Bleu Star]

Our Boys have officially repaired their mistake. Our Bell Cow format, you know.. the formula that took us deep into the playoffs a couple of years ago... It's back baby!

Zeke has all the tools.

• He adores Big D.
• He provides the element of unpredictability by staying on the field every down.
• He blocks like a stud.
• He runs inside with incredible vision.
• He runs outside with incredible vision.
• He's a proven winner with a desire that will rub off on those around him.
• He catches like a slot WR.
• He will go the distance if you give him a crease.
• He's built like the prototypical RB and is elusive which will equate to longevity.
• He's ready NOW!
• He will keep our defense off of the field so this is a win win for both sides of the ball.

I know I'm missing something. Feel free to add.

The STAR and a BELLCOW go hand in hand! When we have one we are a legit playoff team! Elliott is a true workhorse, with the ability to run both inside and outside, catch the ball out of the backfield and excel as a pass protector.

 

[lostar2009]

I guess this guy is the biggest investment that counts towards defense and offense. Lets take it back to 2014.

 

[SHAMSzy]

Great pick. People will bash that he is a RB top 5, bring up Trent Richardson etc, but he was actually the safest pick in this draft. I was scared as hell we would pick Ramsey, who is a boom or bust prospect.

Yes we are! Others out there in the NFCE are quietly smarting about the pick. They won't admit it but they are. I have really close friends that happen to hate the Cowboys and they take advantage of every opportunity to needle me for any of our dumb moves. Neither has sent me a text yet. They're smarting..hahaha. It's beautiful. And and and we are just getting started in this very deep draft.

He's only 20 and injury free. He opens up the passing game even more. He takes added pressure off of Romo.

Let them bash...I just hope they aren't the types that secretly root for failure so they can say they are right....yes, there are some out there....unfortunately I know one of them...I often ask him, just how many times did your parents drop you on your head....
My first thoughts when it came time for them to pick, was oh no, they really will take Ramsey....but then it became, no, they won't, it's Zeke. Just like in 1990 I just knew somehow they would end up with Emmitt. And Jimmy almost blew that one..twice.

 

[Bleu Star]

The haters are out in full force this morning too on the sports talk shows. I'm listening to Mad Dog sports in the car and they are in full throttle hater mode. Good stuff..lol

As usual, we've given them something to talk about.

Same here! Nothing at all quiet as a mouse! Love just love it! I'm so excited and I just can't hide it!! I know this is a "QB" league and they are great and there are some great ones but for me there is nothing more special than that bellcow RB. That one guy with the ball in his hands who can literally take a game over. Feels great to be a cowboys fan this morning!

They dont like it one bit. It's another big 3 situation with an amazing line. Now all they need to do is sure up the defense.

Normally by this time, I have a few needles sitting in my text msgs. Hahaha.. Nothing. Zilch.

text them, ask them if they are alive....

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

I don't think Elliot will be the bell cow. If here I expect our running backs to contribute as well. Dunbar being sort of the Darren Sproles while they still go running back by committee. At least for now.

 

[John813]

I agree with the list though. They went safe, and got the most surefire player that will help this team win games. He definitely can do better than Murray, who still gets crapped on these boards. He was a very good back for us, but Zeke can take it to the next level.
Will be interesting to see the usage though. Don't think they'll run him into the ground like Murray though.
I expect them to use all 3 backs, all healthy of course.

So, because of the organizations ineptitude to build a quality team, winning a wildcard can be considered deep run? Sure, we were in the Packers game till the end, but it still counted as a loss. No different than a 1 point loss or a 18 point loss. I'm not sure even Browns fans would consider that a deep run. Good run, sure, not deep.
Agree to disagree.

When measured against the previous 19 results, I'll gladly consider that deep. Yep. Agree to disagree.

I was scared we would pick the Bama rb actually somewhere along in the draft. But not anymore! Happy with the Buckeye and now a Dallas Cowboy rb.

No offense but if they just used the 4th pick on a TB that will not be the bell cow guy and instead will be a rotational guy................ holy hell.

You're right! Romo is back baby! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
