DMD Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Go ahead and play the rest of this season. Only better than yesterday.

Dolphin_Akie Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Hoping its just one bad game, everyone has them, and the news on the NFLs appeal might mean he can focus more on the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While that may be true, Zeke mailed it in yesterday. Total disinterest, quite on plays and didn't seem like he wanted to be anywhere near a football field. He want's to be a team leader??? Well he has a LOT of work to do to accomplish that. Based on yesterday's lackluster effort, hell a complete NON effort, I'm benching him next week.

I didn't like his effort period. Matter of fact, there was zero sign of an effort. And yeah, I said it.

But I guess I'm a caring guy too. Would you personally rather have Freeman over Elliott ROS bc there was "zero sign of an effort" on Sunday? Just curious.

But until he shows me that he gives a manure, he's gonna sit on my bench as I have far better options over someone who doesn't seem to care. Elliot has some issues and it's starting to show on the field. Yeah...I'll start someone else next week. And Freeman is a baller, on a high powered offense and if that trade were offered to me today, I'd probably pounce on it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrab Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Is Elliot (and the Cowboys) going to face the Broncos D every week? He looked pretty good the week before, but this is who he is? 50 passes vs 11 rushes (excluding Dak's 3) and its all about bad play by Zeke? Wow and I thought the overreaction after week 1 was bad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeonardPart6 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 No way I'm benching Elliot. I think his attitude was more because of the way the game was going. They were down a lot and he couldn't get into a groove. I think he only had 5 carries well into the 3rd quarter. Plus...Denver D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This, it was totally about game flow... Week 1 he had the same lingering personal issues going and he had no problem doing the "feed me spoon" bs.. They got blasted by the broncos, no one on the sidelines was rallying, even Witten was seen having a shouting match with one of the coaches.

Not, perhaps due to motivation or talent, but rather by dumb luck. The ball will get stuck in his helmet or pads or he'll fall on a fumble in the end zone. As long as you bench him, the rest of us should have an easy 20 pts. Don't renege now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABearWithFurniture Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 I'd say Dak and the coaches were the ones that mailed it in. Broncos were putting up 8 man fronts basically daring the Cowboys to throw the ball and they pretty much failed at doing that. Trying to run it right up the gut a few times didn't work too well...Denver just had an outstanding defensive game plan and pulled it off to perfection.

I'll be paying attention to the Cowboy's practice notes this week and if nothing changes, he's gonna ride the pine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oG1KeNoBi Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Who is Zeke's back-up if he were to go down? I understand McFadden has been inactive since week 1 bc of Elliott returning. But I believe it is bc Alfred Morris provides as the "change-of-pace" running back for Zeke. If Zeke were to go down, I think McFadden would take over as the starting RB with Morris maintaining his role. Is this accurate? About to trade for Elliott and would like to have his correct handcuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
