Ezekiel Elliott RETURNING To The Dallas Cowboys After 2024 NFL Draft

"Good morning folks! The Ezekiel Elliott deal is now happening, reported early this morning by the crew over at NFL Network - Ian Rapoport, Tom Pelissero, etc. The Dallas Cowboys are set to sign Ezekiel Elliott to a, I assume, one-year deal. I haven't actually seen any contract details yet as of filming. I'll check in, uh, as we film this, like 7:15 a.m. Eastern Time, uh, in a little bit here, with if there's an update near the end of the video. Uh, Elliott is going to resign with the Dallas Cowboys, that's been the expectation for several days now, and the Cowboys forgot to draft a running back, so doesn't really add any surprise there either. Uh, by adding Elliot, the worst running back room stays the worst running back room in the NFL. Uh, the Cowboys, let's start positive, uh, I'm hopeful that an upgraded run-blocking offensive line with some additions can result in better short yardage and Red Zone results than what Dallas had last year, but also what Zeke did last year actually wasn't great in that area. He's not the same pass protector he was in his prime, but he's still a good pass protector. He still helps you in that area. I think Rico D's still better, um, but Zeke's not a liability in that area like, say, you know, Mini Mini DuVon is from that perspective. But after weeks of the Cowboys flirting and Jerry Jones saying how he thought Zeke played great down the stretch, which we will talk about in today's video, um, and this will be the last of my complaining that I do about the Zeke, except, man, maybe it's a lot today's live show. Uh, we will be live again this afternoon so you guys can make sure you are subscribed, hit that sub button so you don't miss out. Been a long couple days, a lot of draft picks, UDFAs yesterday, got a little bit of sleep last night and wake up and, ah, Zeke signed, which wasn't overly surprising. It was a matter of what day it ends up being, was it a Monday or a Tuesday, but that has been the trend this team was going to go down for a while there, so a lot to talk about here with Ezekiel Elliott. So hit that sub button if you haven't already. Again, as of filming, no contractual details here on the Ezekiel Elliott move, um, but this team needed running back help. At least there's something in terms of running back help coming in, I guess. Um, we'll get to, I'm going to bring in some of the old stats we had done previously on these videos. We talked about Zeke for a while now, um, so you'll see some of the last four year stats, uh, you'll see the short yardage stats, the Red Zone stats, and this alleged strong finish to Zeke's season which just didn't happen. It's not true. Um, but I do want you guys to grade the signing. I'm going to assume one-year deal with not that much money, but we'll see, uh, so A, B, C, D, or F in the comments section. It'll be the pin comment on today's video, so if that ad comes here on YouTube, take advantage of it, head down there, and let me know. Let's talk about what Zeke has done the last four years. And again, this is going to come up at a graphics, so ignore some of the old outdated... It's not a sponsor of today's show, but it's just what I had from previous times doing it, so ignore that. Uh, Ezekiel Elliott last year: 4 carries, 642 yards, three and a half yards per carry, three touchdowns. 231 carries in 2022: 876 yards, 3.82 yards per carry, and 12 touchdowns as well. 2021: 237 carries, 1,000 yards, 4.2 yards per carry, 10 touchdowns. 2020: 244 carries, 979 yards, four flat on the average there, and six touchdowns. Here's my issue: this is a player who has declined. We cannot sit here and think that, ah, yes, Ezekiel Elliott is returned to form. The Patriots' supporting cast was so bad, and it was bad, to be clear, it was not a good supporting cast in New England. It was a bad group, uh, although if you can look at ESPN's pass block win rate, I believe the Patriots' run block win rate, excuse me, are actually higher than Dallas, which I don't know how much I really believe that, but it wasn't a good group there. It straight up wasn't, and Zeke has not played well. He hasn't done it since the beginning of the 2021 campaign, and unless you're giving him like 25 carries, I think he's gonna get there. That's the crux of my issue. This is a non-explosive back at this time in his NFL career, and the efficiency isn't very good either. So you're getting some short yardage stuff, which we'll get into, it's not very good, by the way, relative to what it was in his prime. This is not the same guy that we all loved at the beginning of his career. It's simply not. More stats, more stuff to come here. If you agree with me, you probably think the Cowboys still need to go trade for a running back because I don't think you have a real starter on your roster right now. Do the Cowboys still need to go get a running back? Why for yes and for no in the comments section. Everyone goes, ah, the short yardage stuff, he's great in short yardage. He actually was worse than the guys you had last year. Obviously, supporting offensive line stuff helps. We'll bring the graphics up here again. On more carries, Tony Pollard was more efficient, had more touchdowns, and on 12 more carries, had double the first downs, 15 to 30, in F to get first downs inside of three yards. He was way better at executing that than Ezekiel Elliott was last year. Rico Dowdle was actually hyper-efficient, and I wish they'd give the ball more in short yardage situations. I'm a little frustrated that they didn't go down that path. And it's not eight plus box defenders, that's the real reason for stuff. No, the loaded box percentages from last year for Ezekiel Elliott was 17.93cm, at 35. You know, Khalil Herbert was at 31%. It was higher than what Tony Pollard had because it's off in a schematic B-A-S thing, more than anything. But the defenders were not loading the boxes to stop Ezekiel in the ground game, they were not. It's not what teams did. The numbers that we can look at to be like, okay, you know, what is it like trying to be independent of the supporting casts and everything? Good numbers, like rushing yards over-expected per attempt Read the full article

The Changing Face of Football and the Quest for Safety

News Summary: The banning of the hip drop tackle in football has sparked controversy and raised questions about player safety. As leagues revise tackling rules, fans and players seek clarity and adaptation to the evolving landscape of the sport. Football, it's a game of excitement, glories untold, and wonders of the mind and spirit. However, there's controversy surrounding it; many fans and players are unsure of what constitutes a legal tackle in this fine league. The hip drop tackle is being banned because of injury concerns, and many in the football world ask, what is the proper way to tackle? Like the beloved body weight and rule, there are a lot of questions as to the step-by-step protocol, and today they will be answered. Consider this man to be the average offensive player. Hey there, look at how confident he is.' 'And here's your bug standard defender, sir, notice his surly and hostile demeanor.' 'Am I getting paid for this?' Now, the normal situation would be for the defendant to destroy everything dear to the world, but this isn't 1970 anymore; we are a kinder and gentler league. To begin the new process of tackling, the offensive player must first consent. 'Can I tackle you?' 'Uh, uh-uh, you never said the magic word.' 'Can I please have permission to take you to the ground?' No, I do not consent to your action.' 'This is what constitutes a broken tackle.' 'This is a joke, but let's suppose that he does agree to be stopped. Then the defender will carry the offensive player to a minimum queen-size bed of his choosing, pending league approval.' 'I'll walk myself, thank you.' 'Yes, your majesty, that's 15 yards for taunting.' 'We have now entered the room of choice. For speed purposes, the bed has already been set to the offensive player's liking, but defenders should be aware of any personal whims and requests that they prefer.' Oh, is there any chance I can get some ice cream? I prefer cookie dough.' 'I don't have any.' 'We'll let the defender off with a $110,000 fine.' 'Always remember, you're .' 'Is this an anagram?' 'No, it just means you're .' Begin the next step of the process, happy ending.' 'What happy ending?' 'Well, G-crack.' 'What, no, that's unsportsmanlike conduct.' 'We will assume that the action has taken place.' 'Now, as we can see, our two test patients are ready for the final stage of taking down a player. You must gently let him slip into slumber.' 'May I recommend a bedtime story?' 'Alright, "The quarterback who won it all".' 'Oh, I love this one.' 'And in a triumph for eternity, the greatest quarterback in football history threw for over 400 yards and three touchdowns in the high school championship game. The crowd on hand lifted him on their shoulders, chanting his name forevermore throughout the end of time. He had white horses and ladies by the score, all dressed in satin, waiting by the door. Oh, what a lucky man he was. Good night, offensive player.' (As the offensive player sleeps in his comfy bed, the loss of down is complete.) 'There's one problem with the defender's execution, he never fully shut the door.' 'Roughing the passer.' Oh God, thank you for watching this horrible pile of cringe. I wanted to do something different because this is a special occasion. This is apparently my thousandth video. Yeah, I can't believe it either, like a birthday cake or something. I wish to never do this again, dead for the sake of society. Read the full article
