I hate the stupid gesture so I hope it's gone haha.

Jason actually did the feed me thing when speaking to Zeke.

Why? how does it affect you? It gets Zeke pumped up and when I see guys like Dez on the sideline and others I see them getting them pumped up I would say that is a very good thing. It is harmless so again it is not costing the team anything in terms of penalty so then why should it bother you.

I guess Irvin giving 1st down moves every time he got one was some how offensive

It just annoys me.

It's not a big deal. I just think it's annoying and a 1st down isn't worth acting like you just won the superbowl.

The occasional feed me is cool but everytime you get a 1st down I don't feel like we need to have a parade.

It's about 1 step better than the guy who celebrates a TD when they are down 30 points.

Why he keeps him motivated that is what matters the players on the field not some fan sitting at home who has no bearing on the game. These are not robots and should not be treated as such. As long as his action do not cost the team then he should be able to play the game the way he does not change

Like I said... It's just my opinion and it looks like many others, and possibly the coach, think its a little dramatic for a first down.

You're the type to call 911 if your neighbors are playing music too loud.

and possibly the coach? why because that is what you think took place? You are right it is your opinion and maybe that of some others but then you and others do not play the game. I never took issue with Irvin jumping up and giving the 1st down which he did most of the time so then why would I take issue of a player who is out there producing at a very high level.

I have no idea what exactly took place but connecting the dots when Zeke does the feed me thing, Garrett pulls him, and he's looking at Zeke doing the feed me gesture I can't imagine he wasn't telling him to cool it some.

I'm really not.

I just think it's cringe when you go wild about a 1st down.

Every now and then it's fine but these guys act like a bunch of jackasses when they get 10 yards.

They are winning, they are playing with excitement and energy that is what counts. Acting like jacksass? yet deal with a fan base who is constantly riding them and second guessing them and always has something negative to throw at them. Hell I hope they don't listen to fans and just go out and do their things because it is working and you can see the excitement on this team.

It was an issue with the coach.

I'm just glad we have a player getting first downs, he could take a pizza out of his pants and eat it on the field for all I care, just keep getting those first downs.

Like I said.. It's just my preference that we don't celebrate first downs like a superbowl.

IMO, it just becomes a sideshow that is more about the individual.

Go hit pay dirt and celebrate.

Whatever happened to just a strong fist pump or a simple 1st down signal in a key situation..

Now we have to the freakin stanky leg for every 1st down. It's stupid. IN MY OPINION.

Garrett prefers the Sea Gull celebration.

A lot of people on this board must have not have enjoyed the 90s dynasty teams then.

I don't recall anyone have problems with Irvin or Kenny Gant and the shark dance, To me it is about this team being excited and that excitement catching on with teammates. In the end it is a game. These guys are monitored and always having to look over their shoulders let them have this little bit of fun. It hurts nothing, again if it gets to a point where it is costing the Cowboys in terms of unsportmans like conduct then I will be right there with you but until then this team is playing with the swagger that I have not seen since the 90's leave them alone

I've grown tired of it as well and would like to see him mix it up on occasion with a forking motion, cutting a piece of meat gesture, buttering bread, dipping a doughnut, or some sort of chop stick symbolism. Eat something beside porridge Zeke!
