Zeke needs 258 yards for record (aka Finding Dickerson 2)

[Risen Star]

If they have to win the finale to secure the division and homefield then he's got a shot. If they lock all that up this week it's highly doubtful unless he breaks a long one. They're not going to care about the record in a meaningless game before the playoffs.

can Zeke get 258 yards in the next 2 games to break Dickerson's rookie rushing record.
Man I would love to see him get this.
A win and staying healthy and rested is more important. But it would be great to have him get the record.

Off the top of my head I think it's 258 any way.

Hmmm 258 you say ....does seem of a tall order. But if zeke pulls it off he really will need to be carried around on a glamorous litter, fanned by a entourage of zealots donning giants leaves 24/7 ......hail to the new rb king.

I do think he has a 200 yard game. Detriot has issues defending the run. Giants had a run game some what today

Well 260 against the Lions and a win would be ideal!

 

[vaturkey]

Playoff seating. Nothing else counts.

 

[TellerMorrow34]

There is a chance but it's more important to simply get the W against Detroit and not worry about that record.

It's awesome this Lions game is on Monday night. When was our last Sunday afternoon game? Before Halloween? Excellent.

 

[cowboy_ron]

We beat the Lions, the chance of Zeke playing the entire Philly game with the #1 seed and HFA wrapped up already is extremely doubtful. May just see him in the 1st half, then he'll be sat along with many of the starters.

i think if hes close Jason would let him stay in to get it

 

[Risen Star]

The Lions will be desperate. No question about that. Stafford coming home to Dallas. That team always gives us fits.

It'll be another round of labor pains.

Don't know if you are serious or not - I hate night games!

The Giants being 1 loss behind us tells me he has a shot. It "forces" us to keep winning. Zeke is our catalyst to winning.

Elephant in the room: we do NOT want to go back to NY in January for a playoff game vs Mara's refs. We got a much better chance vs them in Jerry's World.

Feed Zeke. He can rest during our 1st round bye after breaking Dickerson's record.

 

[Aven8]

IMO find a way to beat the Lions and let McFadden and Morris carry the rock against Philly

Love this idea. If you're going to rest a player it's him. He won't get complacent.

Zeke alerted Eric that his record was NOT safe before he ever played an NFL game. Lol

Love it!

This ticks me off. Zeke could have over 2,105 yards by now if not for stupid penalties. He should have broken BOTH of Dickerson's records. He's had several big runs called back all year.

 

[phildadon86]

Bingo. Lock up HFA next week and go easy on your stars at Philly. There are bigger goals than individual records this season.

Id agree with you, however if Dickerson wasnt such a POS about it. I want that record so he shuts his mouth about it.

Throw in those long called back due to penalty runs and he would be a lot closer...

 

[JackOfNoTrades]

I'm usually not for focusing on records/achievements but this one is almost 35 years old. Being he's so close, I would like to see him given every opportunity to achievement this milestone.

 

[mahoneybill]

On one hand I would love to see Zeke get the record, but on the other hand I don't care because he is going to be another billion yards rushing before his Cowboy career is over.

He's going to get the Rushing Leader for the NFL as a rookie. Keep him healthy for hopefully a successful Playoff performance.

That said I wonder if its regular season total alone, or credit is also given for post season....

Regular season.
College counts bowl games, but NFL is regular season.

Thanks. Didn't know that. Will still take the asterisk behind his name when he does it...

 

[65fastback2plus2]

Zeke needs 129 yards in each of his last 2 games to break the record.

Your thoughts?
