You said: And i responded to that. I don't understand I guess, what you're asking. Why would I not have positive comments about Zeke?

The bolded is Jerry and Ginger exactly, in that order. BUT, I never said what you assert. I said IT REMAINS TO BE SEEN what they will actually do with him. I make no assumptions - other than defaulting to their past patterns. It wouldn't surprise me at all if we see Zeke as a cog in a RBBC...

The two topics aren't related. Zeke is what he is and Ginger is what she is.

Never answered because never saw it. This draft choice changes nothing. We still don't know if Zeke is just going to be a cog in a committee of backs that collectively get only 200 or so carries, or is he going to be a feature back that gets 300 himself, like Murray in 2014. The "theory" is...

Nothing. That's the point.

He could pull a fast one on just about everyone and choose Kristi Noem.

Knows all the assignments, protection calls and audibles. Knows where everyone is supposed to be and where he's supposed to be and what to do. Makes very few mistakes, and also hardly ever fumbles or drops a pass. Then there's his blocking - rare to see a RB who seems to enjoy it like he does...

Dude I'm talking from the time he starts running, 7 yards behind the line, to when he's covered 40 yards. Granted, it does matter exactly when you start the stopwatch. He's got deceptive speed - makes defenders take bad angles all the time.

He's something to look forward to, that's for sure. Has that Dorsett-like quality of very seldom does anyone get a square hit on him. Very nifty and with power too. And just has a gifted knack for the blocking. Plus, look at his football speed. On long runs and under pursuit he is covering 40...

If so that's very likely a good thing.

NFL rules I think, you can't give a RB a number that low. I think 20 is the bottom.

He's the one who teaches them to "fight scratch claw."

80 Tds, over 12,000 yards. Not a bad rap at all.

Should have. I'm not interested in what looks cool. But I would agree if you said 21 is NOT cool. But you think a 30s number would be 'cooler' than 22? C'mon now. 22 is where cool lives in Dallas. He's got power, but really isn't what anyone would call a 'power back' IMO. He's not that limited...

I don't know that it makes a damn bit of difference though, he well might make that #21 as 'sacred' as 22 apparently is - you have a point. But I want to set the bar high, want to plant that positive seed. Shoot for the moon, you might make it into orbit. Shoot for the stars, and the moon is...

LOL

Oh jeez. Pygmalion Effect - you put a loser number on the kid, he's gonna be a loser. Julius Jones was oft-injured and never even sniffed his potential and was usurped in the lineup by Marion Barber. Randle of course, more recent so we all know. It's about the message you're trying to send, not...

Like Jones is anything to aspire to be? Please.

What's sacred about it? We put 88 on people, why the hell not 22? Even Emmitt himself would approve. You put 22 on that kid's back and say "this is what we think you can be" beats all hell out of putting the number of a fucking panty thief on his back. Hell, yeah gimme 34 or even 33, NOT...
