Why don’t we throw to our backs more?

I don’t get it.

Dallas loves to cram Zeke between the tackles but Zeke and Pollard both can catch and it’s never used.

Not only would checking it to the backs more be beneficial for opening things up down field it would make teams think twice about blitzing.

Also, as much as I don’t like Zeke’s game anymore it would be a way to get him in space against DBs which are matchups he should still win.
Because KM is a JJ hand picked OC and he’s not very good.

I was just watching Zeke's 2016 highlights, lots of screen passes, short outs, short passes to the flat, Zeke really made a living from them, and Dak threw them perfectly.

Eh, look on the bright side… if they did, every other thread would be Dak can’t throw long!!!!!!

No because Zeke only gets bail out passes that usually get 2 yards

I do man, he can’t seem to stay upright, falls to easily. That run last week where he jump over the diving DB gave me a little hope, but damn it seems he has lost his balance. He gets tripped up way to much from what sometimes seems to be just a notch, push or even angle tackle.


I have seen the same thing for several years now, he's a strong back, but gets shoelace tackles often. Slips and falls too often when he could have gotten more yards

You seen what a pass to Zeke looks like?

He either drops it, looks confused, or gains nothing.


Say that last part again!!!!!!! When they put him out in formation he runs a sideline route with the wr coming over top for a slant, he has no real deal to catch the ball on that play call I hate it
