Zeke Elliott appreciation thread

[RonnieT24]

RonnieT24.....KMoore bothers me too. Everyone is on the MM failed challenge, but the 4th down call was just as egregious. Panic move and disrepect move. At some point, Zack Martin is gonna lay hands on KMoore instead of yelling at him.

I have a feeling Mike McCarthy is closer to doing it at this point. That 4th and 1 call probably had Mike ready to go Buddy Ryan/Kevin Gilbride on him.. McCarthy is class enough not to call him out in the media but I guarantee you at the coaches meeting today they're going to discuss that play and some of the other moronic calls in detail..

Agreed. He was slipping tackles and running with passion and vision in that second half. Loved seeing that again.

was watching with my son. Told him after Zeke's TD that that was the first time in a long time that I can remember him making a cut in the open field. He put a nice move on the S and scored. Normally he would have tried to truck him and got taken down at that spot. Hope we see more of this going forward.

He stepped up; sadly not enough of his teammates did.

Those turnovers killed us last night. That's all really....and 10 penalties at bad times to Philly only having 2.

Refs as usual; in other words we got screwed again and again. But we would still have won if we played better. Philthy is not really that good

Can't say we didn't deserve the penalties called on us, and maybe even one more. Can say that several more penalties should have been called against the Eagles.

Zeke owns the Eagles every year and I love it.

 

[jazzcat22]

seems like he runs better backwards than forward these days

You have that confused with some posters minds on here.

I was talking about the NFL's career rushing leaders, not the Cowboys. Zeke passed Chris Warren for 55th place.

The man needed 20 carrys.

Luuuulz, an appreciation thread for the league’s second highest paid RB ($15m in 2022) for running for 81 yards.

 

[Established1971]

Dude was fantastic today. Always plays his heart out and literally brought us back in this game. He is so underrated by this fanbase it’s ridiculous

nah, this is his first game like this in maybe 2 years

 

[Thomas82]

Look...he is playing well. I have no complaints about him so far this year.

The issue is...he is paid like the best rb in the game and he isn't close to that.

That is where people get frustrated.

I think he could produce at that level again if he got the ball as much as he used to. But as long as Kellen Moore is calling the plays, I won't hold my breath.

 

[Thomas82]

I just realized that Zeke also went over 10,000 career scrimmage yards last night.

He got 13 carrys. He need 10 to wear on defenses. When he gets 20 totes he starts getting big chunks.

He was getting pretty big chunks from about the 3rd carry on.. It just took our idiot OC too long to figure that out. And of course he got away from it the first chance he got.

Yep. This guy is not a genius. He has Linehans playbook and has added nothing to it. Linehans playbook is pretty much JG playbook he got from someone else back in the 90’s. They need to look at the 49ers playbook for running game advise or simply stick with the run. Get off tackle more and use pitch or toss plays. He finally did it last night and look what happens. He is gonna cost MM his job. That’s ok if they don’t give it to Moore. Give it to Quinn so he can hire a real OC.

Good Gawd, another Elliott man crush thread. Not everyone likes the guy. And he certainly doesn't play his heart out in every game. Stats don't lie. He will never be the same after he was paid. Fourteen million per season he should be playing his heart out at every snap & game. Highest paid RB.

It’s sad. I watched last week on a 3rd and 1. I formation. Elliot fullback and Pollard behind. They handed to Elliot and he went off tackle and he should have been gone. Someone swiped his foot and he stumbled and dove. A few plays later Pollard goes between the tackles and broke 3 foot swipes and was gone.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

Yeah he had his first big game in a year.

He's making too much for me to praise him like this.

Try to cheer him on as best as you are able. I know it's hard...but it's kinda what fans do.

You expect him to be 2016 Zeke on thirteen carries.

How dare anyone credit of of their own players. The nerve.

You are nuts. Very definition of a hater.
