Zeke Check In Again

[dogunwo]

With 134 yards today, Zeke needs 1263 yards to break Dickerson's rookie rushing record. He will need to average 114.8 yards per game.

He will get if he stays healthy. It's not even debatable in my opinion.

 

[Texas_Pete]

He looks like he got a shot:



NO meat left on the bone!

114 average will be tough. A couple of 50-60 yards games would make that hard.

Man it feels good to be kings again

114 average will be tough. A couple of 50-60 yards games would make that hard.

But a couple 150-160 yard games will make it easy.

I'm sure some teams will play us tougher but without looking at the schedule, I would say we play 3 better front at 7s than today. This OL is scary good and Zeke is getting better every week.

 

[Risen Star]

He should have padded those stats today but they failed to use him enough.

He probably won't get that record but he could have. Just won't get the touches.

 

[RomoFor6]

Why the hell didn't he get more carries today? Only 15. Could have gotten to 160. Should have been given 20 touches. Will be tough if he has a few bad games. Needs 160-180 yard games for it to be attainable.

That long TD run, reminded me so much of this play....



Zeke is definitely growing on me and looks like a great selection.

I think he is more likely to have a couple 200 yard games rather than a couple 50-60 yard games.

This was a rare game where he didn't need the 20 touches to win. I think the coaching staff rightfully let him get a bit of a breather so he's not staring at a 400-carry season.

I don't think the coaching staff cares about rookie rushing records.

114 average will be tough. A couple of 50-60 yards games would make that hard.

… Or a few 170-200 yard games would make it easier. I tend to look at the glass half full

 

[hornitosmonster]

He has a good shot.

Because the coaches don't care about what stats a player is chasing.

If he gets close they will care. You earn a lot with your players when you pay attention to their individual accomplishments.

 

[RomoFor6]

I don't think the coaching staff cares about rookie rushing records.

You'd be wrong. Especially if he's close the last 3-4 weeks of the season

Record aside.. He's averaging more than 20 carries a game

He probably won't get that record but he could have. Just won't get the touches.

I don't mind saving him, though. I know he's young, but I'd rather keep those touches for a potential playoff run. It's not like Morris is a chump, either.
