Signing Zeke was such a monumental error. I don't think he has been as bad as it seems, considering the blocking of the offensive line, at least not enough to make him inactive, but why sign him knowing he would be getting only a few carries each week? and why would he sign if he wanted a bigger role. Stupid all around.

Last week Zeke churned out some yards all on his own. There was no hole to run to and he just powered his way for whatever yards he could get. The Cowboys are a mess right now.

My guess is he was going to be inactive regardless, and probably spoke up about that, so the demotion got repainted as "disciplinary reasons" which makes the team look slightly better I guess?

Or at least they think that, when in reality the mismanagement of the running back position makes everyone in the organization look bad.

Absolutely right. They could have signed several other vet RBs to fill that role.

But that’s GM Jerry and his relationships with players.

He was cooked years ago as RB1, and thinking players at that position regain themselves is like thinking mileage can come off of a car or toothpaste can go back into the tube.

I think you are right about the inactive part. It didn't make sense to have him and Cook active at the same time and Rico is playing. At some point thid season D. Vaughn will get some carries too. I think Zeke got mad at being inactive so they left him at home. Maybe they will end up cutting him.
