Zeke still fast

[jazzcat22]

I’m sorry but whether it’s long speed, short speed, cut speed…Pollard is just flat out faster than Zeke.

Faster is not always better.
Remember a WR named Alexander Wright?

 

[jazzcat22]

I don't care how fast Zeke runs, he can't run over 8 yards at a time. No stiff arm, no avoidance. Just run forward and go down. Witten had better moves than Zeke.

NO

RG3 still runs fast.... in a straight line. Doesn't mean he can play. Running fast before folks beat on you is a totally different thing. Zeke will never be what he was. That Zeke is gone forever. Doesn't mean he's not a good back, but he's being paid as a great back.

One more year….

One more year….

Of what?

 

[LACowboysFan1]

Of what?

That remains to be seen...

We have seen how bad he looked last season and the one before . He is not a difference maker . Not to mention his crazy cost

Keep ignoring the facts of injuries and inured OL as well. Not to mention a brain dead OC at times.

 

[Jipper]

I agree he's still fat

In all fairness he's showing signs of decline and that his burst is not what it was.


I think most of us give him one more season as fans but there's a lot of skelticizm due to his contact

He’s almost 1mph faster than Pollard? Well, Pollard was in full gear.

The coaches must figure out the usage combination that gets the most of of each. (Obviously)

 

[Jarntt]

Give him 16-18 Carrie’s , but more importantly, limit his blocking. He gets hit on blocks. Let his contact come mostly on runs and catches.

No way whatsoever do I Limit his blocking. That's what he is best at. He is elite in pass protection even when he does nothing running the ball. It's the only reason he sees the field on passing downs.

There's no question about if Zeke can play. If people have question on that they simply aren't watching the games. The question is can he stay healthy enough to play. He's not RGIII status.

Earlier in the season he was fine. Offensive line got worse and he got injured. I'm not ready to write Zeke off quite yet.

 

[Jarntt]

The great Earl Campbell never lacked for contact and he did all right.

Now if only Zeke had 1/10th of Earl's ability to run over guys or through tackles his lack of elusiveness lately wouldn't be an issue.

 

[GMO415]

Recalculate the machine.

 

[mattjames2010]

Doubt.

 

[Ranched]

Of what?

Lol. OF ZEKE!

 

[Section446]

Who cares? Dude is washed up.

Fine is ok for a rb paid at a mid level salary...zeke unfortunately has not played up to his contract.

Good player yes, but not the player he was in 16 and 17...hope he gets back to form as well but the odds are not in his favor
