Machota: RB coach - Cowboys’ Ezekiel Elliott looking ‘way quicker, way more elusive, more fluent’

No, that doesn't mean a strong running game is a detriment.

Strong running game is absolutely important, I think though there is a point of diminishing returns.

Terrell Davis did 2000+ on a Superbowl champion with the Broncos in 1998 on an offense that was hitting on all cylinders.

I think those days may be past.

If the Titans do get a world class passing game with the addition of Julio Jones and sudden maturation of Ryan Tannehill, I don't think Derrick Henry would also be getting too much more than 1400-1500 yards. At least by today's standards he shouldn't be.

Josh Hicks sent a text message to Ezekiel Elliott last week. It included two videos: one of a drill the Cowboys running back did three months ago and another of Elliott doing the same drill two months later.

The difference was noticeable.

“He was way quicker, way more elusive, more fluent,” Hicks told The Athletic. “I know he’s getting better.”

I think you meant to say Zeke was more fluid, Josh. We're not talking Spanish lessons.
