Zeke's lesser Role

[Coogiguy03]

If we were to keep Zeke, are we really going to use him solely to be our short yardage back? At what point in the season would teams figure this out, stack the box and stop him for no gain??

I think at this point he'd be a progress stopper. It seemed years ago because of his contract he got the bulk of the carries. Tony is now making the big bucks, I hope to see him more.

Please give your thoughts, I saw it was mentioned they want Rico Dowdle back, he could be out option!

The last month of the last season showed that you don't even have to stack the box to stuff Zeke.

I have a better role for Zeke.......Post June 1st cut

 

[Ranching]

If he's back, he'll be used about the same....probably a few less carries. Pollard can't take more the 15 touches a game.

Zeke is a sad story. He needs to get punted out of town so we can get behind a new young stud RB.

Gives me the heebie jeebies just to think about it.

We need to sprinkle in someone else also

I would just ask Zeke to feed on whatever he wanted, add 15-20 pounds and ask him to play fullback if he's back.

If he's still on this team this upcoming year it's an automatic fail by the front office.

Even tony "fell off during the season"....with several 2.5 yards per carry for the games.

Yet we're still gonna act like zeke is the problem?

Zeke certainly has fallen form the very lofty, epic 1st 3 seasons. But we've hammered how inept this coaching staff and owner have been...but fail to recognize how that effected zeke's trajectory. Or any player for that matter...Dak included.

"but Steve...you say...not bashing zeke just being realistic". Right?

Okay so...zeke is done. Fine. The real question is can we fix this offense....that can't be consistent, let alone elite.....stats can got to hex. We know our record....and not just against NFCEast.

People act like if we ditch Zeke....CHAMPIONS! ROSTER SPOT! WOOHOO!

If we don;t fix this offense to not only be NCFEast Beasts once again.....but super bowl caliber....does it really matter who we run into the ground for cheap?

That's your bar...your standard...for this team to qualify as failure?

What the...

How many "automatic failures" can a team rack up? With this criteria.

Dallas uses a two back system.

It's really not that sad. He made millions of dollars, was a pro-bowler and if he retires now leaves the game set for life with no significant/catastrophic injuries.

Sad for the cowboys. Zeke fleeced us

He might have fleeced you.........but he sure as heck didn't fleece me or several others here.

There were some of us here screaming "DO NOT GIVE HIM A NEW CONTRACT", while may of you were screaming "PAY THE MAN!"

Some of us weren't suckers.....

Blame Jerry, then blame Moore for lack of running game knowledge, not Zeke.

Some fans will rue the day when Zeke on whatever team he ends up on runs the ball all over our defense for 300 yards.

Just having fun, don't take this serious and get all whacked out.

We need to lighten the front page up some.

He will do it, Kellen will do it as well, we will say we should have kept him! Lol

 

[Jipper]

He's not coming back, has no value
