Zeke says running game can improve

[Risen Star]

"I mean I broke that one run but there was no one there,” Elliott said. “I’ve yet to show the dominance at the second level and beat the safeties and score long touchdowns. Once that starts happening, you know, it’s going to be kinda scary.”

Scare the bleep out of me, Zeke.

I noticed that too but the last 2 weeks he seems to be trying to avoid contact on the second level and early on, he was running right at them. Bulltrucking a SS in college might work but in the NFL, you might want to avoid the contact.

Good time to be a cowboy fan. Love the stepping on the neck of opponents.

Time for full-on Freddy Krueger.

The long runs will come, especially when Dez gets back in the line up. Beasley may be getting open, but he doesn't scare anyone. Dez does. And when we start finding Dez, it's going to open up the running game even more. And then, bam!, there goes Zeke 40, 50, 60 and 70 yards for a TD.

They already have. Doesn't Zeke lead the nfl in 20+ yard runs.

We're talking about breakaway runs that lead to touchdowns. We're talking the 40, 50, 60 yard scampers. And I think he's talking about those too. He only has one of those.

He does.

I still don't know why the Cowboys used the 4th draft pick on a RB. What a bust. lol

Dez is a sloppy eater. Zeke gets more in his mouth I think!

 

[rynochop]

Need to keep him fresh for December. He's never played 16 games, would like to see Morris close out blowouts

At this point, I think teams are going to forget about the pass and just try to stop Zeke. If you cant stop the run game, then you are toast. He is the big threat at this point. The big plays in the passing game should start coming soon.

This.

I don't like seeing Zeke in there during possessions that are just used to run out the clock. Why risk it?

I was just thinking the same thing. Wasnt there a TE we could have picked instead? Dang.

 

[Silver N Blue]

How bout that 4th overall pick!!

 

[Jinxx13x]

With Dez Back it will be scarier

Gonna be very fun to watch !

fitting with halloween right around the corner
