There’s a reason he hasn’t played in preseason, and it’s not because they are cutting him. Maybe he has looked good enough in camp that he’s already a definite part of the committee and they are just figuring out the other guys’ roles.
I think Freeman and Zeke bring similiar skill sets, I rather not keep both. However, the fact Zeke hasn't played in the preseason and is well liked in the organization suggests he's pretty much a lock to make the team.
I just don't understand all the hate, especially if Zeke is in a small, defined role.
No. But he’s probably the only back in the league who is allowed to be a #2 or #3 on the team and not play special teams.
True. If there’s one thing zeke has been over the years. It’s a leader.
As long as Zeke has a distinct role, but the main back, he will be an asset to the offense. Always has been excellent in short yardage and always seems to fall forward.
Only older players who want to get paid are progress stoppers.
With that logic, let's bring back Emmitt and not have him play next preseason because of his incredible accomplishments.
Zeke lead the patriots in rushing yards and receptions. And you are a very ......um...mislead.
Because they aren't as good as Zeke.....that is why. Don;t be confused at all.
Would you prefer an all rookie team? Vet presence throughout the team matters so did the 3 you mentioned. Zeke matters and if he is washed like you said then Royce will have a bigger role on the field. Team game not one player or 4 can propel a team to greatness. It takes them all to want it and be willing to sacrifice themselves for the greater good of the team. No I in team. Zeke will just be a role player and play his role he indeed will. Simply to understand?
Zeke’s not going anywhere. The team loves him and he’s still can get you a crucial 4th down or short yardage TD runs.
