Ezekiel Elliott's last four games as a Cowboy:

50 carries, 100 yards, one embarassing highlight.

Dude is so cooked. Someone else will sign him...all the ancient RBs get signed for one final year somewhere, even Todd Gurley who only had low gear by that point...but he's done.

Fernando · 01-23-2023, 02:44 PM

He's so bad now, he's good for a tough yard or two in the end zone, and will usually fall forward but he has just zero wiggle and burst now. Sucks to see. Prime Zeke was arguably the best in the league.

Shanahan was surprisingly conservative yesterday; that's not going to work against Philly

I'm wondering if it was partially strategic. The defense was handling Dallas, and when things did get tight right before halftime and in the third quarter, he opened up a little more with the deeper shots to Jennings and Kittle. Didn't show as much because they didn't need to with the way their defense was playing.

But if it wasn't, yeah, that isn't going to work against Philly. They get after the QB like no others besides the '85 Bears, and when your defense is showing up on lists with the '85 Bears, you're doing something very right.

Their defense vs. Philly's offense will be a very interesting matchup as well.

Tony Pollard broke his fibula, it'll need to be surgically repaired :/.

BeerBaron · 01-23-2023, 03:08 PM

Hurts his FA potential, of course, but might be a blessing in disguise for the Cowboys to re-sign him.

Their offense changed dramatically without him. The 49ers didn't fear Elliott at all.

Sean Payton having a second interview with the Broncos.

Hope that Wal-Mart money is good. No first round pick, they'll have to trade something to the Saints to get him, and they're stuck with a real bad looking Russ. One of the least appealing jobs there is.

scottyboy · 01-23-2023, 04:10 PM

I feel bad for Pollard. He deserves a pay day

Fernando · 01-23-2023, 04:19 PM

He was most likely getting franchise tagged, and i don't know that this changes that.

McGee · 01-23-2023, 04:25 PM

The Bills did so bad that I remain having no ill will against the Bengals whatsoever, go get em Joe

that's what I was assuming, but I guess we'll find out this weekend.

I just can't see the Chiefs winning with Mahomes on one leg. They need Andy to commit to the running game and it's never going to happen.

They have a first round pick, they got one from the Phins for Chubb that was originally the 49ers in the Lance deal.

...a far later first round pick than their own that will almost certainly go to the Saints in the deal for Payton.

Sean Payton delayed(skipped) his 2nd interview with Denver to come to Arizona for one

I don't want to trade picks for him but pay him all the money he wants, figured we were out after hiring a GM

nepg · 01-23-2023, 07:33 PM

#3 for Payton and Taysom Hill

fenikz · 01-23-2023, 07:37 PM

We shall trade a 6th for a 7th as per the Bruce Arians trade guidelines

This has more of a Gruden guidelines feel to it.

Sounds like the Giants, if it came down to it (they'd apparently like to re-sign both to "long term deals"), would be more likely to tag Jones and let Barkley hit FA than vice versa.

They are apparently "far apart" on extension talks with Barkley.
