Zeke is a biscuit away from being a fullback

Glad im not the only one that noticed this, he seems to be a bit more chunkier and seems to have lost some explosiveness.

I'll add a little flame to this fire. I went to the game and really focused on him during warm up He Does not look like he's having fun and was just kind of going through the motions during warm up. I think this legal stuff is getting to him.
Just sayin.

I agree he looks like he isn't having fun but I think its because he can't really party like last year. Football doesn't look like its worth it to him if he can't party on his own terms. We will know by end of season how much he likes football.

C'mon now... only player that had an excuse is Zeke. Denver were all out in stopping the run Dak only wanted to force it to Dez. That's on him and nobody else. His best receivers are Beasly, Witten and T-Will those receivers were opened on slants and skinny routes in many occasions. Besides Dak throwing the football more than 35 times means we aren't adjusting well.

What is Zeke's excuse for not engaging in the play where they intercepted the ball that went thru Dez's hands? You may have a bad game, teams may defend against you, but to not chase down a player that intercepted a pass is unforgivable. It shows who you really are as a player.

4 carries in the first half... All against a loaded box and we want to blame EE?!! Ffs.. 4 friggen touches is less than a back up RB usually gets in a half. All of them were str8 up the middle too.. no sweeps or toss.. ffs his best play was in the second when dak finally checked down to him in the flat and he picked up 7... Dak took an age to get it to him and threw it behind him..

Have no doubt this legal stuff is in his head and he does look less conditioned than last year but *** do u want him to do with 4 carries?!!!

A RB can't can't get into a groove when you don't go to him. Then you have Denver's altitude and the fact Zeke hardly played in pre-season. Don't know what people expect.

He had the same burst against the Giants. He didn't have anywhere to run because the O-Line wasn't pushing the pile and the TE's were getting dominated in run blocking. I question his stamina. He hasn't played a lot of football in the preseason.

Hate to say it but think your dead on correct. It's like being under house arrest with his predicament and given his days at OSU and afterwards he's far from being used to that.
