What are your thoughts and expectations on Zeke's return.
How will he do against Seattle.

At the start of the year...
I think he was in shape, but with a little extra weight. It showed the first few games or so. Then later, seemed he slimmed does a bit, looked faster, like from 2016 form. now if he is even in better shape..watch out....and I am not buying into the people that say...yeah but he is not in football shape...

However, expect a bit of a slow start, or what will be perceived as a slow start. Because the D will be stacking the box. so until Dak burns them a few times with the passing game to get them to back off. Expect it to look slow. This is where we need hat deep threat at WR. Linehan needs to take a few deep shots early rather successful or not. But that will get the Dez haters out in force. LOL.

So I expect a 1st quarter of getting him some runs, get him into the flow of the game and being back on the field. Increased carries after the first few drives and in the 2nd quarter. Then unleashed in the 2nd half. Especially if we have a lead and our OL wears down there Defense.

however, if Tyron is out, that may hurt a few things. But IF Garret will make an adjustment and put a TE over on that side, the running game can still be a big factor with Zeke back in.
 
....He should get around 100yd on the night. But he will make Dak's night awesome.
 
Seattle is going to do everything it can to not let Zeke beat them. I mean everything! Carroll is a smart coach and they know about the bet with Dickerson etc. they are fighting for as well. Should be a stress filled Xmas eve folks!
 
I expect him to pick up almost right where he left off. We're not talking about inserting some borderline Pro Bowler - we're talking about the best RB on Earth. This is what he does. I think he'll be just fine.
 
I am concerned when JG says he is not certain yet how to use Zeke. Hopefully that is just him being stupid or filling time at a press conference. He needs 30 touches Sunday. If he gets 30 and gains 140 or so, we win.

My fear is he gets off to a slow start and is under 30 yards late in the second quarter and JG and Linehan panic and abandon the run.

Did you expect Garrett to say we will run him 40 times?
 
IDK but on the first play, if they don't run 2TE's and go play action deep for six, I'll cry.
