Zeke was a pro bowler with garrett. I believe he'd still get over 1000 if Garrett was still here.
There is no way this is a serious thread. This is like saying bring back Ware to help our pass rush
Garrett has been gone 5 years and Zeke was probably the worst week 1 starter this year and is solidly behind Rico Dowdle who would also be considered one of the worst starters in the league

Father time for Zeke
Solari and Schottenheimer for the terrible scheme
Jerry for putting it all together
I want to know if they went back to the zone blocking after the success they had man blocking in Pittsburgh.

I was worried our stubborn, moronic staff would go back to their comfort level.

Dowdle had a nice game vs Pittsburgh so of course MM has Zeke playing alternate series today . Ludicrous. And Leupke was invisible . He could have matched that physicality Detroit was throwing down at the line of scrimmage before the game became a pre season laugher

Jerry Jones and Stephen Jones and Big Mike for not having the stones to tell them.

If Dalvin Cook isn't good enough to crack the active roster, why in heck is he even there?
I know he's not the same as a few years ago but he's actually got alot fewer miles. Last year was his first down year. How could it hurt to give him a shot?

Offensive line got old and for a franchise they had always valued running back….didnt even try to find another back. Arrogance.
This O-line is finally paying the price of letting Biadiaz go......and not forseeing Martin was done. And thinking Steele was for real...when we all saw how he struggled with speed rushers.

FO.

how do you not draft a RB? i mean you weren’t gonna sign Henry or Jones.

now we depend on Rico injury prone dowdle.

zeke is beeing saved :D
We're seeing teams hit on their 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th string RBs and somehow this is the best that Dallas could field this season?
Heck, KC pulled Kareem Hunt off the coach and HE is doing better than Dallas RBs. (Hunt is avg 85yds/game. Dowdle/Zeke 60yds/game)

it's like the offense is trying to run the ball as if prime Zeke or Emmitt Smith were the RB.

Schottenheimer & MM are not adjusting their scheme to fit Dowdle, instead they want Dowdle/Zeke/Deuce/etc to fit a mold they do not fit
