Zeke Elliott - Horrible season for him

Love Zeke.. but he has lost a burst. No way you can justify the $$ of his contract (and you argue they were always over inflated) for what he offers. That doesn't make him trash.. Zeke was elite.. but his best years were wasted while we fiddled and tweaked with our shiny hack of a rookie QB.

I can only sit and dream about what Zeke could have done with Romo under centre.

The injury in 2016 changed Zekes career.. I have no doubt about it. Zeke was drafted to win a SB.. and with a quality QB/HC he would have.

However all the rose coloured glasses can't change the fact that he can't bounce it outside, he can't break through the second level and he struggles to be a threat on screens because he is too slow. He is more a short yard FB than HB.

If he was prepared to take a massive paycut then i think he could still add value but it would have to be a near minimum.
Screens? Moore calls screens to RBs? I can't seem to recall a single screen to a RB this season. It's always a screen to TE or WR

He has called a couple.. not many. Far more to CD.. I think the plan is more about CeeDee having enough natural talent to burst through four defenders rather than have blockers out front.

Our offence concept is very limited.

They will probably cut him and He will go to a team like the Bills as a TD Vulture and win a Super Bowlca
I doubt it. Plus Buffalo can draft someone in the later rounds that can take the place of Zeke. He is finished. He needs to take one long vacation to Cabo and never come back.

I went to the Nashville game and seeing how slow he is compared to every other runner was disheartening.

I haven't been a fan of Zeke's for several years, but neither Zeke or Pollard were able to do diddly yesterday behind this horribly manhandled Oline.
