Zeke Elliott to play Thursday night

[dbair1967]

Garrett says 8-12 plays probably...they want to get him touches as both runner and receiver but don't want to overload him with first action.

Sounded like he said starters in general would go longer this game than vs Miami

Tyron Smith will play.

I bet they play him at running back.

I expect the starters will go a half, except for Romo. I think he'll just do a quarter. Dak will get the 2nd quarter with the starters. Let's see how he does against a quality defense (even if it is vanilla) without Dez being out there.

I think tonight is where we start to see the first signs of Dak being a normal rookie and not the next coming of Aikman (or whatever ppl want to liken him to)

Without Dez I believe he will start to falter against a real defense

Not to mention it being Seattle and the legion of boom

Now on the other hand if he goes out there and lights up the legion of boom there won't be much ppl can say about Dak at that point

Prescott probably wont be playing against the 1st team Seattle defense.

Romo and most of the 1's were expected to play entire 1st half and maybe first series of 2nd half. I would think Seattle will have a similar plan.

 

[MrB]

Romo already hurt

Zeke looks like a beast from all the replays I just saw

Seems to be the real deal so far

Taking on Cam Chancellor head on and bouncing off to get 5 more yards is no joke

Definitely like the attitude he's showing. He was jawing at all those defenders and was running angry. Very Dez like.

Dak is the real beast if you ask me. Looks like we got unbelievably lucky.

 

[Scot]

No shit! He looks the best out of this draft class by far

Hell he looks better than a lot of the vets too

No kidding on both. Loved what he had to say about managing the huddle.
