Cowboys gorging Ezekiel Elliott and it's concerning for playoffs

[shane]

Elliott seems like a real freak of nature so I am not too worried about this.

It's crazy to only have 2 backs on the roster in the first place.

Yes but lets get the answer this draft. Smith and Jackson are Jags.

He may be a freak of nature, but even freaks can only be stretched so far. Even if he stays healthy you have to worry about how much the additional carries affect his effectiveness because he is tired on the field. Hell, half the time he comes off the field is because he has called for it. He is a fierce competitor so you know if he is pulling himself out he is worn the hell out.

Wow.

I'd be cool with that. I'd give Jackson a shot for now though. Lots of RBs who look like Jags can play well in a part time role. Smith cannot.

The unthinkable:
Zeke goes down, unable to play in playoffs. Cowboys rely on Dak to put the offense on his shoulders.
God forbid

And who here thinks that would end well? I see a lot of people taking up for Dak and that's fine, but let's not pretend he is anywhere near capable of carrying this team.

I mean shit Oline, shit RB and crap at TE. I'm guessing most NFL QBs would struggle in that situation.

But yeah it wouldn't end well.
