Zeke without Pollard

[RonnieT24]

Your off topic, the point was Davis hit the hole faster and looked quicker. Are you saying that's not true?

Key word there being "looked." I didn't see a lot of holes to hit to be honest. Aside from one run where the line cleared everybody out Davis averaged less ypc than Zeke did. As in the overall result was worse. Who cares what how it "looked?" It also "looked" like he was slapped down with one hand on a few carries. Kudos to him for the one nice run.. but I repeat.. untouched until 15 yards. The rest of the time it "looked" like he was running into the same brick wall Zeke was and getting fewer yards for his efforts. The line lost last night.. so the runners weren't all that successful overall except for one play. That's what it "looked" like to me.

The 2nd stingiest run defense in the league. They get paid NFL money too. Zeke just drew the short straw by being the guy in this game. This thread is inherently a Zeke hater thread but I'm not playing.

You have to play to win

What does that even mean? They didn't lose last night. To date, they have won 75% of their games this season.

19 attempts for 37 yards.
1.9 ypc.

3.9ypc for the year.


Without Pollard, the running game was putrid. Zeke is beyond washed up.

Zeke is good in the proper role, but this team need Pollard.
He and Lamb are the playmakers.

 

[nightrain]

Zeke had very little opportunity to get it going last night. There were defenders in the backfield almost immediately on every play.

 

[CowboysExchange]

Davis hit the hole faster and is much quicker, you saw that too. Why would he need his eyes checked for something everyone saw?

Davis didnt have any problem catching passes for 10 yard avgs did he???

He popped a run for over 20 yards also???

The Titans' run defense is #2 in the league and is only giving up 80.5 yards per game. 2nd behind the 49ers. It hurt not having Pollard but we were winning this game based on the play of our defense and our offensive passing game. You are not going to make a living running on the Titans. The pass defense is #31 in the league so that is where you want to attack. However, I think Moore kept it pretty conservative because Dallas never felt the Titans were a real threat. Lots of 1st down run plays.

yup

vanilla

not much of a game plan. haters and clueless fans seemed to miss these subtle things, no way Moores using anything the last 3 games to show his intentions for the playoff game.

I prefer orange sherbet over vanilla.

Are you forgetting about all the blocking and tough yards? What about being the INT machines best friend?

5 of his int were from tip ball ,meaning receiver had it in their hands 3 receiver not running the right route so out of his 14 I would say 6 are on him

yep... just running into piles to keep the clock moving. this was all about just getting the win and getting out of there. They never felt the titans were a threat and it clearly showed in how they played the game. Blame Zeke for running into a pile,,,.... and I do agree with someone's comment, they all knew the run was coming...... so no kidding Zeke didnt bust out for 6 ypc.

 

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

Man zeke did have some critical smashing blocks that allowed a free pocket for Dak. That one blitz on the right side that allowed Dak a great pass and no injury...was a thing of beauty.

I think Tony woulda got trucked.

GOOD CALL glad you appreciate that kind of hard work.

Lol, they overlook that. It’s all about the yards for some.

Lol! Typical response!

this forum thrives of negativity...if you erase all of the negative post the board might have to turn into a subscription based service

 

[CowboysExchange]

He also lit up some blitzers to keep dak free and safe.

There's nobody on God's green earth that ever talked about Earl Campbell, Barry Sanders, or Derek Henry being a good Blockers. Ha ha ha

Its can he run and can he catch and run fast and get first downs and score tds.

The blocking is wayyyyy down on the priority list

If ya can't get the other stuff down you're washed up.

We got us one of those 18 million dollar "blocker backs"

Ha ha ha ha

Only in DC Nation

Going against the grain is scary.

Going against the grain is scary.

No.....not appreciating the balls it takes to play with pain and do the little things like pass blocking, that's scary and pathetic

 

[CowboysExchange]

How many Pro Bowl and All Pro votes did the Blocker Back get??

I just hope he doesn't pee his pants 3 straight playoff games in a row!!! urgh

How was his blocking in the playoffs???

Ha ha ha
