Ezekiel Elliott: One Of The Best Running Backs In Football

Last year, the Dallas Cowboys took the NFL by storm behind rookie sensations Ezekiel Elliott and Dak Prescott, finishing the regular season with an impressive 13-3 mark and easily winning the generally competitive NFC East. Heading into the 2017-18 season, some may expect the Cowboys to regress a bit, and for good reason.

Dallas is by no means the best in the league, but they are the most talked about. It doesn't matter how good any other team is, Dallas is always talked about. They are, after all, America's team. Tony Romo was injured toward the end of the season, he was the talk of the town. Dallas had no chance of going to the playoffs, but people still talked about whether or not Romo would start the last two games of the season. Even though the odds of that are very slim, critics love to talk about the Cowboys. In this case, the injury brought publicity to their team.

Now Garrett, like Turner and Zampese had to work with, has the tools in place for the offense to be a juggernaut. Starting with the receivers, Garrett has a beast in Dez Bryant (6-2, 225 lbs.) able to dominate with the same prowess Irvin took to the gridiron, and Terrance Williams (6-2, 208 lbs.) opposite of Bryant with some similarities as Harper (can get up and get the ball). Notice the comparison in size that Irvin and Harper had? Insert Brice Butler (6-3, 215 lbs.) and the Cowboys have the ideal receivers wanted in the system – prototypical sized route runners able to get downfield.

Tony Romo has been the best man under center that the Cowboys franchise has seen in many years. Even better than Aikman. Troy himself will tell you the same. As I have said many times before a ring doesn't define a quarterback but unfortunately to ignorant fans its everything. Do people realize without Romo that this team would have been in this position every year. Sitting at the bottom of the division, dreaming of the the draft on Thanksgiving? Even at 8-8 three years in a row Romo gave us fans something to hold onto and something to cheer for. Romo is not the only one to thank, but he is most defintely not the only one to blame either. Tony has grown into himself as an athlete and as a quarterback. Injuries happen, this is the National Football League. They happen. But that does not mean Tony Romo is anywhere near done. We WILL see our star that dons the #9 jersey again, and we will be so grateful that he is there. He has fought through some pretty bad injuries; broken ribs, broken finger in his throwing hand, punctured lung, a herniated disc, two broken transverse process, and a broken collar bone...three times. He has survived these and continued to thrive. To say that this most recent injury will end his career is not only ludicrous, it's

When Romo is at his best, he is one of the best quarterbacks in the league. If he stays healthy, Romo can lead the Cowboys to the promise land. Let me correct myself, if Romo doesn't experience a season-ending injury, the Cowboys will definitely be in the Super Bowl this season. Romo has become accustomed to playing

OK Cowboys nation here it is. Football season is finally upon us, and it couldn't feel better! Just seeing our boys out on that field was incredible. Hearing the announcers and seeing the fans was the anticipation we have all been waiting for. I am very happy that we decided to keep our heart of the team on the sidelines. The blindside hit to Weeden made that even more clear to me that it was the right decision. The Cowboys have nothing to be ashamed of, however I do think that some of the same Cowboy's problems have still surfaced. Ball protection is still an issue. Coach Jason Garrett spoke on the issue after the game “I thought the biggest things were the turnovers, we drove the ball pretty well. We

Ezekiel Elliott, a natural athlete, was born into an athletic family, but now could be considered the best running back in the NFL, leading the NFL in most yards per carry after contact. Thanks to his offensive line, Zeke is just pure talent on the football field, if one was to ask any running back, fullback, quarterback, or anybody behind the offensive line before a play, they would answer that the play would not ever succeed without those lineman protecting them. Zeke admits that the previous statement is true, and anyone could be place behind the Cowboys’ offensive line, and they would do well. However, Zeke is a different story, his offensive line definitely

With the young Prescott playing like an MVP combined with Romo’s recent injury history and old age, it’s only logical to conclude that Romo’s career in Dallas is over. It would be a colossal mistake for Romo to take the field for the Cowboys ever

There are a few things the youngster is going to have to work on if he wants to be in the NFL, even if it’s just as a reliable backup. Boykin already faces some uncontrollable issues due to his height and his reputation for fumbling doesn’t help. He has a habit of knowing exactly what he is going to do with the ball before he even walks out of the huddle and forcing the pass even when it’s not open.

Without signing a hot commodity in free agency or drafting a highly projected premium round pass rusher, the vibe from most outsiders is that the Cowboys’ brass didn’t do enough to improve the pass rush.

Eddie started off in his home town of Geismar Louisiana . He played for the Dutchtown Griffins .His senior year he weighed 210 pounds and was 5’11 feet tall , a body made to truck . And thats exactly what they used him for Eddie is definitely not the fastest but he hits hard , very hard.He graduated in 2009 .He did win one award while being in highschool , He was in the top one hundred running backs in America.

“It’s going to all focus off the run game.” said Fisher. “If need be we’re going to hand it off to Todd (Gurley) and if someone says, ‘we’re not going to let you do that’, then we’re going to spread it around. And so when it’s all said and done, I think we’ll be able to look back and I think see Tavon maybe double in catches over what he had last year. And that’s the most important thing; it’s just to get the chunks downfield.”

One of the team’s biggest strengths is their powerhouse offense. But the man under center is what makes that powerhouse offense run. That man is Aaron Rodgers. Aaron Rodgers is one of the best quarterbacks in the league if not the best. His statistics are unbelievable. He has the highest quarterback rating in NFL history at 103.8, while the second closest is 98.9. He has thrown 300 touchdowns to only 74 interceptions. That being a 4:1 touchdown to interception ratio, also the best in NFL history. One of his most impressive streaks was his success at home. In 2015, he threw an interception at home. The last one he threw at home before that was in 2012. He went three years without throwing an interception at home. Truly a remarkable feat. In 2011, Aaron had one of the best seasons

The Lions have played every Thanksgiving since 1934, so it’s like a tradition for them to be playing football today. The experts say the team needs more offensive production, but they were successful last week when they played the Raiders and used a three back system complete with Ameer Abdullah, Theo Riddick and Joique Bell. If they want to do well today, wideout Calvin Johnson also needs to keep up the good work, as well.

With backup quarterback Kellen Moore breaking his leg, the Dallas Cowboys are in need of a replacement. Starter Tony Romo is injury prone and hasn't started a full season since 2012 and injured his collarbone twice last year.
