Zeke's suspension reinstated

[jarntt]

As a trio they'll top 120 per game.

120? I don't know about that. Only 6 teams did that last year and one of them was at 120.1 and one was at 120.5.

Very possible, but its more than the just the cumulative numbers

Its the way teams defend the Cowboys, that completely changes now.....The first priority for every defense is now to defend the pass and stop Dak from beating them with his arm and legs

I like Dak, not sure he is ready to take on that type of load

That puts them near the top 10 in rushing. Add the few rushes that Dak gets and that puts the Cowboys near the top in rushing yards per game. Without Zeke I can't see that.

IDT Zeke being out will change the way they approach the OFC...I haven't watch a lot of DAL this yr, but the games I have seen, Dak looks more confident as a passer...if the suspension starts immediately...they have 4 of the 6 games at home. 3-3, might not be good enough...they would probably have to win out to make the dance, if they only win 3 of the next 6 games.

Dak is a solid passer, but I have to think his job is made incredibly easier by having the best RB in the game behind him....Alfred Morris was done 3 years ago, he offers very little....We will see what Dak is made of now more than ever.......

Morris or whomever doesn't have to put up Zeke like numbers to do what DAL wants to do in the run game w/o their main horse...with their OL, I think they will still be around 3 ypc. If so, you have to respect it and that keeps playaction alive....a big help to a young QB.

I don't think Dak will have to carry quite as much load as you think...more...w/o question.

McFadden has fresh legs from being inactive for all the regular season games. I believe he will do a good job as Zeke's replacement. Dez should now become a bigger part of the offense to offset the loss.

As long as combined they come close to 100 Dallas will be fine.

I'm looking forward to seeing more of Smith.

Judge Who Ruled Against Ezekiel Elliott Is Married to Partner at Law Firm that Repped NFL in CBA

 

[Manster7588]

Actually from what I have read a lot of Cowboy fans have stated multiple times that they didn't think he will serve 6 games.

I don't think too many said this.
I've been on Zekes side all along in supporting his appeals.
I think the suspension is BS and I also said him getting the suspension lifted is unlikely, but if any player has a chance to beat Roger and the CBA.

 

[Tharvot]

shouldn't shock anyone

 

[jeffro151]

Zeke definitely suspended 6 games now.

 

[boogiewithstu2007]

Cowboy's should a just started the suspension week 1, it would be done and over with now ...

At least Zeke will have fresh legs for the stretch run.

 

[Hank Kingsley]

I thought I read the PA was submitting some sort of action?

Not that I care anymore, but it's what I read.

True, if they can get some wins without him, he'll be back in like mid Dec ....

 

[starbigd]

I find the logic here interesting.

First it was that the OL made Zeke's runs possible and anybody could run behind them

Now it's that Dallas can't run because it was all Zeke being "the best RB in football"

So which is it?

Yes they do. It either needs to be a single back or RBBC to put up Zeke's type of numbers or close to it. The Cowboys are built on ball control. A major component of their success is time of possession. They led the NFL in that last year. They have to stay on the field because their defense is just bad.

The Southern District of New York has denied Ezekiel Elliott's request for an emergency injunction.
Elliott is now waiting for a decision from the Second Circuit, something he hopes to receive by 7PM ET Wednesday. Fantasy owners should continue to plan to be without Elliott for Week 9 and beyond.

The thing sticking out of his back is a fork. He's done.

Better now than the playoffs.
