I started this thread and in no way meant it to be a Zeke bashing thread. He looks great this year. I can see now how people might take it that way though. He had an excellent game.
The point of the game I'm talking about is the drive that started at end of 3rd quarter into the 4th quarter.
(0:00 - 3rd) (Shotgun) E.Elliott up the middle to DAL 44 for 9 yards (K.Young).
(15:00 - 4th) E.Elliott up the middle to 50 for 6 yards (K.Young; M.Fox).
(14:37 - 4th) (No Huddle) E.Elliott up the middle to LA 43 for 6 yards (M.Fox)
(14:15 - 4th) (No Huddle, Shotgun) D.Prescott pass short right to A.Cooper to LA 32 for 11 yards (J.Fuller; L.Floyd).
Zeke subs
(13:43 - 4th) D.Prescott pass short left to A.Cooper to LA 18 for 14 yards (J.Ramsey)
(13:06 - 4th) T.Pollard right tackle to LA 14 for 4 yards (M.Copeland)
(12:30 - 4th) (Shotgun) D.Prescott pass incomplete short middle to D.Schultz
It's 3rd down, better put Zeke back in
(12:30 - 4th) (Shotgun) E.Elliott up the middle to LA 11 for 3 yards (O.Okoronkwo)
You have to think that when Zeke and the 3rd down play was called that McCarthy had already made up his mind that he would go for it on 4th down. Thus the run call.
My comment and view is that Zeke was absolutely giving it to the Rams. Stay in there, impose your will and finish off the drive. Demoralize them.
