Signed by Cowboys Zeke and Cowboys have agreed to terms

[Beaker42]

Now it’s time to let the Deuce loose!

For what - 25 YPG??

 

[LittleD]

This organization is way too comfortable.

Jerry can be comfortable as long as he wants. He is the General of all he surveys. At least another 25 years or so. He could care less what you, me or anyone else says on this
board.

I DID - the very moment I read the title of the OP

 

[Fizziksman]

on a positive note, the cowboys won't probably see an 8 man front all season

 

[tm1119]

Fully expect this to blow up followed by an extreme over correction next off-season with a 1st round RB pick…typical Jones’ mismanagement

That doesn't mean we aren't allowed to gripe here. Everyone knows Jerry/Stephen are the real disease.

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

No... Al Davis is dead.

soon. he is closer to al davis than being closer to anybody else.

 

[Hennessy_King]

What an absolute joke

Look, I respect what Zeke did for the Cowboys in the past, but for the team to give him anything above the vet minimum shows you just how out of touch this front office really is. Who were you bidding against Jerry? No one else wanted him.
The incompetence of this organization on full display, and just screems what the real issue is; No Accountability.
Any GM who made the decision to give Zeke anything above min would be fired, but of course, the Jones can't fire themselves, though they should.

This just continues the blah offseason. If you're emotionally invested in the '24 season after the last 3 months seek help.

Why wouldn't you stack the box on 3rd and short especially with someone like zeke? The OL has more to do with it then zeke if the picks pan out like most predict.

It doesn't matter if you stack the box on 3rd and short for someone like Zeke. Some guys just have that knack for either moving the pile or wriggling through for that one yard as long as the line doesn't get pushed back into the backfield or whiff on 2-3 defenders so they're standing there waiting to help Zeke take the handoff. If you don't believe he can still do that then fine. It will be proven one way or the other on the field.

Glory days are back baby!!!

 

[charron]

I like Zeke as a backup. We'll have to pray rico holds up....which I doubt he does.

They are a marketing team that tries to play football. Zeke is generally popular with the avg fan, so Jersey sales, exposure, talking heads all love Zeke. So we are stuck in that way. It's lame.

I think you should seek help if you're that emotionally invested in how it's went on either side...

who cares the only proof this teams fanbase we'll have it's discussing the games week by week and at the end of the season we can discuss how this went...


the last time I heard this was a historically bad offseason they made it to the second round of the playoffs.... Ironic

I mean you all can overreact all you want but keep your emotions out of it, that's the problem this is something that no one knows how it's going to work out until the games are played, we can discuss it... in February.... Even seasons that look like they were all for not like in 2018 we started out three and five this fan base overreacts as usual they got their feelings all mixed up in it they traded for amari Cooper finished ten and six second round of the playoffs...

again it's never the way you think it's going to be... EXPECTATIONS do not =Reality.

They are not here to impress you in the off season, there is nobody winning anything, you can give grades all you want but those are just highlighted opinions the way the media and the fanbases want to rate the offseason, it's the problem, your expectations are ridiculous... paper champions are an offseason thing and it doesn't matter because all of it has to be settled on the field as much as everyone loves what Howie Roseman does to excite his fan base he still has lost to the Dallas Cowboys two of the last three years for the division and had a monumental meltdown at the end of last season... you can love when he did in the offseason you can love that this man loves the Wheeling &dealing, he's as bad as Jerry Jones, I think he does this because he likes to be in the spotlight and it's great that you think he's improving the team but in the end all of it has to be settled on the field and last two years of the three that we beat the Philadelphia Eagles... you do realize that Washington and New York spent more money on free agents they technically won the offseason for our division, and it got them nowhere.​

Filling your team with grade A 1st 10 days of free agency and winning what you think in the draft is winning when you're picking in the bottom five of every round and you think that that is a blueprint for success you have not been watching football any given Sunday it's a week to week league and every time that this fan base thinks that we're going to collapse they've won 12 games three straight years they don't win the off seasons but at least we're getting into the playoffs so somehow the all seasons are being overrated...

I don't see Elliott being the backup, but I do think we'll limit his carries to around 15 per game. That means 10 to 15 to split between Dowdle and Freeman, unless Vaughn shows more to seize a spot from one of them.

 

[Jumbo075]

Solid move, IMO

 

[glimmerman]

They will wait to sign him so they don’t lose comp picks. Hope we sign another bruiser to help wear the opposing dline down. Elliot will be ok for 10-12 carry’s a game. If he is used right it won’t be bad. But he isn’t built to carry the load anymore.

 

[SackMaster]

What do you think about the offensive line?

Untested, but the potential is there.
