Twitter: Zeke response to taking next off

[Chuck 54]

The week’s bye is over rated. The real benefit to a bye is playing fewer games to get to the show.

Our guys can rest all offseason. Play to win every game. Period.

I love this thread. How many times have you guys all made references to the Belicheck way, or the Patriots? And now you are talking about sitting your players?

Unless there is an injury, everyone plays next week. That is how you become a winner.

 

[Chrispierce]

Precisely. This isn’t a team that can afford to kick back on break. They have to keep their foot on the throttle and not let up to make it.

 

[Irvin88_4life]

It still pisses me off and I would have fired him the next day.

As an aside, in your face. We're division champs.

That is just one thing in a long list of dumb decisions by Garrett.

Love his desire to play...but sit down Zeke. Clearly playing beat up and need him healthy. The rest of the offense can use the practice.

The giants are coming after us. We'll need our best effort to prevent that from happening. Play 'em.

All the more reason to sit him. They know how important he is to any chance we might have. I can definitely see one of those trash bags taking a dirty shot at his knees.

Sit em.

You don’t want another year of resting week 17, losing to a bad team 23-7 then coming out incredibly flat against someone like Seattle?

Garrett special

 

[Idgit]

We’ll do what we always do. Play the healthy guys and sit the ones who are nicked.

 

[Keithfansince5]

Play. Sitting is for losers.

 

[StarBoyz83]

Damn right, Zeke.

But you're scaring the crap out of your head coach talking that way.

Hey jg has been around this game a long time man.

 

[MarcusRock]

Come on y'all. Zeke knows he was saying this to the press and they would run with it talking about "warrior" and "heart of a champion," etc. You know good and well that after this Zeke went to Garrett, or better yet, Jerry, and said, "I got the next week off, right? Please?"

 

[SportsGuru80]

I love it... Finish strong.

 

[Batman1980]

Zeke goes in for the 1st quarter and then gives way to Darius Jackson and Rod Smith.

 

[CWR]

It won’t be Zekes decision. It will be Jerry’s.

I bet Jerry pushes towards them playing. Hes seen what rest gets him. I know, I know hes crazy and so on, but I think he will push to play most.

 

[Aviano90]

Just let Zeke get 2 weeks of conditioning in. Don’t need him asking to be fed and then turning around and asking to come out of the game when we make the playoffs.

 

[Captain-Crash]

I hope they don't play rush or white. If they come in and light it up, it might hurt dak's feelings. Fear and hurt feelings won't be good in the playoffs.

 

[Cmac]

Agree with Zeke......this team isn't good enough yet and the coaching ain't good at all.....to think a week of relaxation can be trusted. We've seen this from late and from Cabo.

My guy is slowly but surely assuming a leadership role. I like it...
