Cowboys took a serious L to the Broncos, a nice & sound 42-17 beatdown in Denver. Cowboys had a bad day overall but Zeke had a really bad game. He only had 9 carries for 8 yards. This was definitely his worst game in the pros.
Things do get tough in the NFL and you have to figure it out. Never want to give off the impression that you quit on your team but that’s what HOF running back LaDainian Tomlinson got.
LT was on NFL Gameday and said he didn’t like the way he quit.
“I didn’t like that. He absolutely quit on this team today. There are going to be times where you aren’t going to have room to run.”
After Sanders asks him to explain he elaborates on what he saw from Zeke that made him think that.
First, his attitude on the sideline,” Tomlinson said. “He didn’t have any communication with his teammates. Also, he didn’t want to talk to his teammates. Sometimes when things are going wrong, as the leader of that team and as a captain, you have to step up and rally the troops.
You have to go to the offensive line and say, ‘Hey, I know it’s tough, but we have to battle. Let’s keep fighting.” You have to go to the quarterback and say, ‘Hey, I’m not getting it done today. You have to step it up.’
This was the first time we’ve seen Zeke get stuffed by a defense and he just wasn’t feeling it.
As he matures he’ll be able to know how to be an asset in different ways.
