Zeke still fast

[SteveTheCowboy]

I said nothing combative, just my opinion that Elliott isn't an elite RB and has been on the declined, but I'm a fan of the team and I hope every roster spot plays great.
I guess I should display more drooling.
You can't win around here. You have to 100% love a player oir 100% bhate them or fans get all whiney.

No not true...this is where you have to stop lying to shore up your agenda.

. I have said MANY times...I didn't like Zeke early holdout nor the mega contract. I thought he came back out of shape. I thought in 2020/late 2021 he was getting tackled to easily...maybe that was protecting an injury so I cut him slack on that.

I am not above giving player fair criticism. Given the state of the o-line and Moore's pathetic run scheme (and falling behind early)....it's not totally on him. I bioggles my mind peopel don;t see the overall problems there...but...okay.

I suppose I should claim "zeke sucks he's done" so we can get along?

But I mentioned that the O line & play calling could improve and that Elliott isn't a home run hitter. You dismissed the point and latched out at the home run hitter comment.
And I never said he sucks or is done. You're connecting dots that aren't there.

My apologies kind sir. When I said "you"...I didn't mean you you. I am pretty sure we're in agreement.

My issue is that I think much of Zeke's production, lack there of? is NOT on him. If we are NOT interested in a formidable O-line..like Emmitt mostly had. like Zeke had in 2016, if we are NOT interested in scheming an effective run game involving both Zeke and Tony as a dual threat....then Zeke IS a waste and we might as well pay some schmuck to get abused physically and by fans.

Thanks Steve, no problem.
I am very concerned about the Oline.
There is another post up right now about the Front Office and fixing the run game that I laid out my concerns in.
Take a look.
Thanks! John

I didnt lash out at the home run hitter. I even admitted the 2021 highlights I keep showing....have none!
With all the other weapons we have....he doesnt have to be long ball hitter....but fix the o line and i bet we see more.

Give him 16-18 Carrie’s

you want him suspended for 6 more games?

Campbell > Zeke
Sorry , and it's not even close.

I grew up down the road so to speak of the Tyler Rose and followed him throughout his storied career. Love Earl Campbell! I'm not comparing the two as far as greatness.

No problem, just was not sure.
Keep on posting !

I lose interest when a player show up to their multi million dollar opportunity fat and out of shape.
When Zeke burst a long run I’ll scream and holler just like all fans. It’s a thing I just don’t know how to handle.

He reached 22 miles this week in a work out. Stop sleeping on his speed. He’s probably faster than pollard. He just weighs more and doesn’t have a faster 5 yard burst.

Lmao. Fast? I think not. Zeke is the running back version of Mr. Magoo.

The eye test says he's lost a step.
Maybe that was post injury?

Some family members of his most recently bruised girlfriend were trying to run him down in a supercharged golf cart.
