No...they are all injured.

Here here! I criticized the drafting of him, based solely on his actions his final year at OSU. All the talent in the world can be nullified by "me first" character issues. In the ability department, he's close to Emmit Smith, in the heart department he's not even close.

In our family conversation during the Cardinal game a thought came to mind. I am trying to see the good in Zeke and not criticize him. I wonder if he is dealing with some lingering effects of having Covid in the spring? He may be or may not. If he is, will he ever be as good as he once was?

He greatly benefitted from an excellent O-Line early in his career. He has never had a good attitude or work ethic. Very physically talented, but not exceptional enough to shine without a good O-Line.

Another example of why successful teams are built around the O-Line and D-Line.
If you play chess, the game is won by controlling the center of play/the front lines.
Jimmy understood this and spent most of the H. Walker trade on both lines.
That is how you build a sustainable winning team.

Jerry tends to ignore the lines and defense to overspend on RB, WR, LB, QB (the flashy positions that sell advertising and season tickets).

Agreed...he handled it well, but he needs to become a leader on the field at practice and in the locker room....and that’s Dallas’ problem....just don’t know how many of those guys they have anymore?

That clown ain’t no leader. Wow. What a joke. What moron would believe that? Please show me so I can sell him something.

Frank you got problems.

He took ownership of his poor play and apologized to his team....Monday he and RB coach studied film of every fumble he's had since freshman in college.....those are both leadership functions and desire to be better...I don't think people understand the o line is completely destroyed....they are about to shuffle the whole lineup again because Knight has surgery Tuesday on his knee...so not only are they all injured, what's left is going to have to play out of position....If Martin (in concussion protocol) can't play I have no idea what they are going to do.

Zeke has run hard all year...he's no quitter and is more respected inside the locker room than it would appear to the casual observer.

TXMasterpo is right. Same thing happening with the Eagles. You can’t succeed with your entire OL out. It’s impossible. Doesn’t matter who you are.
