Zeke Questions Critics Football IQ in Regards to Week 1 Performace

[USArmyVet]

Prove me wrong.

When Zeke rushes for LESS than 75 yards, Dallas record by season:

2016: 0-1
2017: 0-1
2018: 0-4
2019: 2-5
2020: 1-8
2021: 0-1

So Dallas is 3-20 when Zeke runs for less than 75 yards in a game.


When Dak throws for MORE than 300 yards, Dallas record by season:

2016: 2-0
2017: 1-0
2018: 2-0
2019: 3-4
2020: 1-2
2021: 0-1

So Dallas is 9-7 when Dak throws for more than 300 yards.

What that tells me is when opposing defenses shut down Zeke it has a major impact on team success.

What about when the defense gives up 2 TDS and we have to abandon the run game? Thats Dak and Zekes fault too or?

Without looking to see hoe turnovers impacted any individual game scores, point being made is that when Zeke is not surpassing 75 yards it has a bigger impact on the team's success.

Well. As an example. The Rams playoff game. Zeke didnt do much. However, our defense allowed CJ Anderson to run for 200 yards. So its not as black and white as some people want to make it seem.

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

There’s 53 players on offense, defense and special teams. Also a huge coaching staff. You don’t understand that. Until you do, have a nice day.

That's what I thought. Now, pipe down.

No thanks. As long as you're here spouting untruths, I'll be schooling you.

The stats I posted was from regular season not playoffs seeing as how Dallas only has 3 playoff games in 5 seasons.

Your feels mean less than nothing to me.

If you're not coming at me with numbers and facts to back up your biased takes then don't even bother.

I came at you with facts, you just choose to ignore them.

2016: 0-1
2017: 0-1
2018: 0-4
2019: 2-5

When Dak throws for MORE than 300 yards, Dallas record by season:

2016: 2-0
2017: 1-0
2018: 2-0
2019: 3-4

2021: 0-1

So Dallas is 9-7 when Dak throws for more than 300 yards.

What that tells me is when opposing defenses shut down Zeke it has a major impact on team success.

So, if you hold Zeke to less than 75 yards rushing then you have a 75% chance to win the game.

We go as Zeke goes. The numbers prove it.

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

Your feels are not facts or numbers.

@USArmyVet posted actual numbers. You posted your feels.

There's a difference. Learn it.

Stop Zeke. Win Game.

All the coaches know this. It's no longer just a hypothesis. It's been proven over 5 years to have an almost 100% success rate.

I'm sorry but while stopping Zeke helps .. actually stopping anybody's running game helps you win but it's been far from 100% successful. Witness the fact that the Cowboys have won the last 5 games Zeke has missed. There is no one way to win games in the NFL.. But look.. I'm an old running back.. I enjoy watching a strong running game way more than watching a team sling it around 50 times.. I want us to use Zeke.. and if we're not going to use him trade him... I don't want to see a back as talented as he is wasted getting 10-12 carries a game under Moore.. To me that's a lose lose lose .. He loses his chances at a hall of fame career.. we lose games and the team loses his money against the cap.

Oh I know. I was just saying.

 

[USArmyVet]

Also note that in the game you reference, Dallas was down 20-7 at halftime (Dallas lost the game 30-22) with Zeke having rushed 9 times for 40 yards which is 4.44 YPC while adding 1 catch for 12 yards.......so Zeke wasn't the issue.

By way of comparison Dak in the 1st half was 8 of 13 for 87 yards (6.69 YPA) and 1 TD with 1 sack.

So while the Rams did run 24 times for 170 yards in the 1st half to give them a 20-7 halftime lead, it would seem Dak's play and not Zeke's impacted the game more.

LOL However you want to spin it. Zeke played like crap. Period. The offense barely had the ball. Due to our INABILITY to get first downs either on the ground or thru the air. But hey. Turn this into a Dak bashing session all you want. They both failed in that game.

So you can't say earlier that it was Zeke's fault and now say neither Zeke or Dak played well.

Never said it was Zekes fault. I said we lost a game he rushed under 75 yards in. I blamed the defense.

I would say the defense allowing damn near 200 yards rushing and two 15 play drives and two other drives of 10 and 9 plays impacted the game more than either of them.

 

[USArmyVet]

I guess I was just saying in the 1st half Zeke wasn't the issue but yes, the defense couldn't stop the run. That said, if the passing game could have been effective at getting scores the Rams would not have leaned on the running game as much as they did.

Do you try and spin any conversation you can into a Dak bash? Honestly. The defense didnt allow Dak or Zeke the time to do anything to make a difference. They ran on us at will and kept our O off the field.
