Zeke looks quicker, stronger and very mobile. Clearly, Zeke looks better than how he looked most of last season once he injured his knee. Does Zeke's recent 2022 summer workouts change your perception on Zeke's upcoming 2022 season?

What say you?

He looked good last off season too....he had a good start, but the knee injury slowed him. He will have a good year, if he stays healthy. He wants to be a Cowboy and I believe he will restructure in order to stay.....he will need to put up good numbers for that to happen. 1,300 yards and 4.5 average should do it. Let's hope it happens.

Glad he's in great shape.
Unfortunitely he taken a lot of hits and lost a step.
Can't add tread back to the tires.

Not impressed. He is a power tail back. Maybe a fullback. His days of RB1 are going to be done soon. Running around a yard is fine and good. In games against NfL 300 lb DT's and 250 lb linebackers, they are going to be jacking him. No wiggle and the acceleration is gone.

He had Hall of Fame talent and isnt going. Fact.

He made a ton of money and good for him, and he sure had a lot of fun.

His glory days were at Ohio State, and the NFL was about being a rich celebrity for him. Not unlike some others we know.

Seeing some sort of a semblance of pride on the way out the door would be nice.

my only problem with these agility drills is that when it comes to actual play all he wants to do is run over people, instead trying to run around them or juke them. I dont see the point of these drills if he doesnt actually utilize these moves.

I'm still looking forward to:

1. Zeke getting released next off season and seeing who the Cowboys can sign with that cap space
2. Seeing who the Cowboys draft in the 2nd or 3rd to replace Zeke

The Cowboys need to limit Zeke’s touches and plays. I believe a combination of Pollard and Zeke can produce close to 2,500 total yards and 15+ touchdowns.

Good the knee is healed. If he stays healthy along with our O-Line then that’s going to pay off big time. Let’s hope blocking and playcalling is better.

The off-season wouldnt be complete without a video of Zeke dancing around garbage cans.

Thank you sir.

Zeke is like most other backs in that he cant overcome bad Oline play. At this point in his career if he doesnt get huge holes to run through he isnt going to be effective.

For those that understand RB play, he looks slow there.

Just watch his hips. He isnt actually shifting much, just moving his feet. He cant run around or past anyone.

I think it’s very clear Zeke has been working hard lately. He looked really good last year in the early part of the season.


The concern is: as RB’s start to get more wear and tear. It’s maintaining their burst and quickness after a bunch of games and being hit 100+ times.


We won’t know if he is able to avoid wearing down throughout the season, until the games actually start.

Every time I see Zeke, those garbage cans get closer and closer to tripping him up. Some day ....
