Did anyone else just get that feeling that Zeke was not going to let us lose?

Man when this guy is focused and in shape he is just something else.

If we win the division this year he has to get consideration for league MVP.

With that said... I have a question... Is Zeke the best player in the league that's not a QB????

May well be
He can be a dominate player for sure

If you were to make a list of the top ten players in the league, all positions included, what would it be? And where would Zeke be on that list?

He's definitely up in some rarefied air, as far as imp[act players in the NFL.

Like I said yesterday he makes 5 yard runs exciting!

This guy can do whatever he wants on the football field. If he needs 6 he will get it, 9 he will get it. He's a joy to watch.

It's nice you are finally coming around on how good he is Catch!! :)

Zeke is a special player. And while I think we could survive if he ends up serving the suspension, it would force Dak to do more. I think Morris and Dmac are very capable backs and would get the 5 yards when it is blocked up. But watching Zeke yesterday, with his jump cuts in the hole and finding a crease when there wasn't one or spinning and picking up 2 extra yards, those are the things that make him a Great Back.

I also was impressed with how so many of the Chiefs players went to him after the game to encourage him. They all know but for the grace of God, it could be them in that situation.

Kid is a beast. It's a shame the NFL is hell bent on getting him.


Talking about shooting yourself in the foot on the NFL's side.

Why on earth they took the approach they did is beyond me.

I can see why they did it but it still doesn't make sense to me why they would destroy their own product as a makeup call for their past failures.

Yeah...

Where we will miss Elliot is how he finishes runs.

The 3 yard run where he leaps a guy and gets an extra 3.

3rd and 2 and he gets that last inch for the first.

Morris will perform but the small plays that go unnoticed that Zeke excels at is where we will need him the most.

You run out of appropriate adjectives when describing players like Lee and Zeke. Zeke is a truly special talent that is unbelievable to watch. He has every single attribute that you could want in a stud RB and then some.

I was among those that wanted an impact defensive player at #4. Looking back, it's hard to imagine that anyone in that spot could have had a bigger impact than Elliott has on the game.

Same..

I wanted Ramsey... I should've wanted Bosa but I wanted Ramsey... Actually I wanted Wentz but still..

Im glad we got Zeke. He just needs to get it together off the field because he is too good to let this talent slip.

I said this yesterday as well, he had an amazing game, this is why YPC stats mean nothing, you would think from his 3.5 YPC he had a poor game. But is such a great situational player, knows what we need and goes and gets it. Turns negative runs into 2-5 yard gains. Just missing the explosive plays. Also so durable.

He was facing 8 man boxes consistently all game. They literally game planned to shut him down. If Morris was playing would he command that respect? No. He would also be running against 6-7 man boxes, so he would presumably put up pretty good stats. But if a team game planned to take him out of the game, they would succeed. Zeke is special.
