Zeke at 243 carries

[reddyuta]

he is going to cross 300 easily.I think we should try to limit him when we get the #1 seed and keep him as fresh as possible for the playoffs.

I say you do what has kept you winning. Do. It change it keep clicking on all cylinders. You might disrupt what's happening

 

[DasTex]

I say FEED HIM MORE

 

[Romonater]

Zeke actually mentioned in the interview he felt tired with the short week. I would be okay with them giving morris more carries until the playoffs.

He's never played the short week and didn't anticipate that. I wouldn't be that concerned about it. He will be plenty rested by next Thursday and then it's 10 days of rest.

murray was getting tired and he totaled 380 carries in 2014?

We've got to keep our edge and not get sloppy at the end of the year like the 07 team did. If you back off any you can start to slump. It's all about peaking at the right time.

Injuries at the WR position is what derailed that team.

 

[AmericasTeam81]

Just keep feeding the monster.

 

[Thomas82]

Zeke broke Emmitt's team rookie record for carries.

The only way the team would "get sloppy" like the 07 team did is if their best offensive weapon/driver of the offense, probably Zeke, gets severely injured towards the end of the season and is mostly useless in the playoffs.

Complacency and Romo's game slumping is what did that team in. We were averaging around 31 points a game for most of the season and only around 14 points a game the final month. We were slumping entering the playoffs and while we were on the decline the Giants were on the rise.

He did not... he said he was sore... not the same thing.

An injury to Dak or Zeke would do us in. Romo would be far too rusty to come close to the level of play we've seen from Dak and he can't escape the rush. Backing off and resting players too soon could cause you to lose your edge. Usually the teams that are playing the best football entering the playoffs are the ones that make the Super Bowl.

 

[RJ_MacReady]

Nope. He's being rationed just right for the situation (except for the 4th qtr of the Cinci game).

 

[drawandstrike]

20 carries today, 25 vs the Ravens on Sunday. They should try to keep him at around 20 per game.

 

[MrPhil]

For what its worth, Emmitt had 4,409 carries over a 15 year career (293-ish per year average)

 

[Dale]

For what its worth, Emmitt had 1,409 carries over a 15 year career (293-ish per year average)

So you're saying we've still good a good 1,100 carries to spare this season.
