Zeke on the INT is about to be a thing

[erod]

Zeke looks fat and like he's going through rehab withdrawals.

Lots of guys quit on that play. The only ones in pursuit were Dak and Frederick (who was never going to catch him).

You're talking about the pick six? Zeke gave up on a different. play.

 

[Boyzmamacita]

He's tired of playing with this quarterback. You can see it on his face.

STOP!

 

[Cowfan75]

I didn't see it real-time, I was too disgusted and I think I looked away and then looked back as Dak was trying to catch him. If he quit on that play, shame on him, but shame on the majority of the team. Garrett quit earlier than Zeke did. They bailed on the running game after 4 carries. They should have just played Morris or McFadden from that point.

Another thread bashing another player that played terrible yesterday. How many more threads do we need so that some fans can continue to complain? It was a terrible game for everyone, No doubt about it but there's 14 games left. I'm not ready to throw in the towel yet and I don't care that Zeke quit on a meaningless interception that wasn't going to affect anything on the outcome of the game.

 

[NumOneQB]

As it should be. Not a good look for the zekester.
Shots of him on the sidelines yesterday reminded me of jay cutler

Man this is spot on. Jay Cutler is probably the most smug ******* I've ever seen on a sideline.

lol Ladainian Tomlinson said the said thing on NFLN last night. The Same guy that stood on the side like hiding under his visor and jacket in the playoffs has an issue with Zeke and his demeanor. Peter King and the rest of these clowns need to stop.

 

[Hoofbite]

Peter King wrote about it on his MMQB, stating he quit on the play. Yeah...I guess. Would I like him to chase down the play on some "anything could happen", sure. Anything could also be tweaking hammy chasing down the play. I don't recall but is this the first or second INT? Was it right in front of him?

You guess he quit?

He would have had to drop his pads on the field to quit any more than he did.

 

[DMAC]

This has nothing to do with how he played. It's the fact that he quit on a play he could have impacted. His bad game didn't bother me. His "screw it" attitude did. All of you who have no problem
with what he did, well I wouldn't want you on my team. You don't quit. Offensive linemen were giving chase and ultimately made the tackle, while our elite athlete puts his hands on his hips and pouts. He should be released today.

 

[Hoofbite]

That's most 22-23 year old young men.

Then we should see countless times every year where rookies, 1st, and 2nd year players give up. I can't recall that many but then again it's not something I would keep in my journal.

 

[Big D]

with 5 carries in first half I would say linehan quit on zeke.

I think Zeke has been taking his feed me gesture too literally. From what I hear, weed does that do an appetite.

 

[strasscat]

better than getting injured trying to tackle the guy

Lazy take by a lazy writer in need of clicks
Dallas Cowboy Hate always gets clicks, I have never seen a take like this about any other player except.... Dez Bryant by peter king again about two or three years ago....

 

[Hoofbite]

Call it like it is. He gave up.

It's ridiculous that you can't criticize a player without people talking about bandwagon jumping, etc.

I'm honestly shocked that people cannot see that play for what it was. It's honestly a mystery to me how someone can watch that play and then focus on criticizing columnists who call the player out.

Where have you been?

We've all missed you and your wonderful commentary.

Why even suit up then? Guy is expected to carry the ball 300+ times per year, catch another 30 or 40, and is known for being solid in pass protection. Can't risk even a half-hearted attempt at chasing the play down? If he gets injured trying to make a play then he gets injured trying to make a play. That's football. If the risk of injury is so great on any given play that a player can be justified in giving up, he should probably just stay at home.

Perhaps you haven't seen a take like this before because most players do not give up. Hell, even those who do will jog their way towards the play just to avoid looking like a quitter.

Quite the time we live in when people immediately dismiss the most blatantly deserved criticism as being nothing more than, "hate".

 

[waving monkey]

It should be a thing.

but Garrett won't do a single thing about it.

delusional

You mean that guy who was smiling when getting blown out?

Cage diving at Guadalupe Island and now I'm in New York, go figure.

 

[khiladi]

I've seen plenty of players on an INT 'give up' chasing... some guys pretend like they can catch the guy with their Joh for about a second, but that acting job lasts about .5 seconds
