It felt like the game was too fast for him.
There was a play against the Giants where he could have lowered his shoulder on the safety Thompson at the LOS and got 3 or 4 and he instead tried to make him miss (with little upside even if he did) and got basically no gain. That was the only run I can say I was disappointed in Zeke on. I thought his vision was a little poor on Sunday and perhaps that was due to him being amped up and not being patient and wanting to explode to the line. I don't know if he is going to be a good back or not, but Sunday was the OL, not him. So my opinion of him has yet to change. But, hopefully many will stop predicting 1,600 yards for him now. People never seem to realize that rookies don't always have a great year in the first year. Every year this board has every early pick playing a huge role and playing it at a high level. You are better off not expecting anything but being a "role player" year one from most picks. Zeke should be much better this week, but Morris needs to get the ball too and Dunbar needs to get some plays in space. 75 yards per week for Zeke would be great for this team IMO. We are deep at teh spot and should be using that depth even if Zeke ends up clearly the best guy
Elliott wasn't my first choice either, because clearly defense was where we needed help. But, I was fine with the pick on draft day and I'm even happier with it today and a month of Sundays isn't going to change that for me.
