Video: Zeke looks like Troy Hambrick in space

[amame25]

Zeke had a good game last night. He did an excellent job at finding cutback lanes last night. But when he gets to the 2nd level untouched, he turns into Troy Hambrick. Dude doesn't have the quickness to make safeties miss - Pollard is already better at setting up safeties for those huge runs. It's the difference between a 10+ yard run and a housecall.

Where are all these huge runs Pollard is supposed to be getting? I swear you Pollard jock sniffers need to pull your head out and stop acting like he's taking it to the house every time he touches the ball.

Elliott has as many TDs as he did all of last season. So he obviously is beating someone. And, he's on pace for just as many total yards.

1:29, 1:46, and 2:16 - He just has to make the safety miss and it's likely a TD.

The top paid running back in the league should be making these plays.

Looks to me like Zeke created a lot of those yards, particularly early in clip. He's always having to reverse course and cut back. Not just make a cut, reverse course and cut back.

Zeke gets big runs if the initial hole is good and he can burst and break tackles through it. If he has to start and stop, not so much. He's not Sanders.

He got a big hole or two at the LOS, but that doesn't mean that the box was simply empty.

He was hemmed in on both sides on all those plays. He didn't just have to beat the safety, he had to beat the safety and not get tackled by the other guys.

He’s just like Hambrick, aside from being the 3rd most productive running back in NFL history after 1000 carries compared to a D2 talent stiff...identical. Very smart comparison.

Elliot did nothing impressive yesterday, pollard looked better. The holes he had we monstrous not getting touched until several yards down the field he can get tough yards, but rarely breaks tackles.

The drop for a TD was pretty impressive.

 

[superonyx]

Zeke is on pace to run for 1500 yards and 14 TD.


Some of you people are miserable and just are looking for someone to fight with.

 

[aikemirv]

I just don’t know how he averages almost a 100 yards a game for his career being so average-just imagine if he was as good as you guys expect him to be-he might average 5 more yards a game and be 1st in the list ahead of Jim Brown!

 

[MikeB80]

comparing zeke to troy hambrick.

Nothing really needs to be said.

probably the same people who boo'd emmitt and wanted ol Jack reilly and Dave Campo to play hambrick over emmitt in 02.

 

[GMO415]

Starting to remind me of Mike Alstott

 

[Jake]

139 yards on 23 carries - 6 yards a pop - and people still complain.

Another case of a guy getting paid and nothing he does will ever be good enough for some "fans", but at least they show us the value of their opinions.

 

[Fletch]

Troy Hambrick? Zeke is way better in every way possible.

OP is idiotic.

You should probably go hang out with the guy who can't tell the difference between Matt Moore and Dak Prescott. You two have got some real football acumen.

 

[bayeslife]

Zeke isn’t a home run threat, but he’s efficient, durable, and can line up anywhere. His pass protection has been elite since day 1.

also Hambrick never hurdled over anyone so this idea that Zeke isn’t athletic enough is insane

 

[anava]

It’s been said over and over. Even his rookie season he wasn’t a homerun hitter. He only has a few over 40 yard runs for his career, rookie season included

 

[ClappingCarrot]

Lol Zeke ran for 139 yards and averaged almost six yards per carry and you clowns keep dissing him

 

[StuckMojo]

Its almost to the point where he is one of the worst backs I have ever seen at making guys miss in the open field.

Give Pollard 20 carries in a game and lets see what the kid can do.

Pollard couldn’t even start in college but let’s play him over Zeke

 

[sacase]

Why do people like to make this wild, outlandish, threads that have no bearing on reality. Seriously people should have thread starting abilities removed putting forth a thread that offers nothing constructive.
