The Cowboys had all but lost the game when they lined up for a 4th and 10 try at the Tennessee 13-yard line near the end of the game on Monday night. They were down by 14 points and were across midfield for only the first time in the second half. All of that is exactly why the play’s results weren’t too surprising.Dak Prescott took a step up in the pocket Michael Gallup Jersey Stitched , decided that was a bad idea, ran back, scurried to the left side of the original pocket and was met with Titans defenders near him. He chunked the ball up for a prayer of a chance and the world watched it sail out of bounds.Perhaps the most interesting thing is what happened just before the play officially ended. After Prescott scrambles to the Cowboys left side, both Ezekiel Elliott and La’el Collins are just sort of standing there watching. In fact, Zeke sort of starts to walk backwards slowly. Brian Orakpo is the Titans rusher who ultimately forces Dak Prescott to let the ball go. He ultimately gets to Collins’ outside and runs all the way around him. Collins slows up and almost comes to a complete stop while Orakpo continues to run and ultimately gets to Prescott to cause the pressure. Why on earth would Collins stop or would Zeke not run out to give Prescott another option to throw to?Perhaps both Collins and Elliott thought that Prescott was going to throw the ball when they both slowed down which is why they did, but that doesn’t exactly show a “play through the whistle” sort of approach. If anything it looks like they knew the state of the game at that point in time and when the motions were past the point that they were involved they started slowing down.This is far from an indication that either Collins or Zeke are bad football players or anything, but it could be indicative of the disposition of the team at that point in time and therefore a reflection of their overall disposition at this point in the season. The Cowboys are in a pretty deep funk and they’re going to have to pull themselves out of it quickly Cheap Allen Hurns Youth Jersey , and that’s going to require full maximum effort at all times, and that’s not what we got here.

TwitterFacebookRedditPocketFlipboardEmailDavid Kent/Fort Worth Star-Telegram/TNS via Getty ImagesEzekiel Elliott is currently not with the Dallas Cowboys as they prepare for the season at training camp in Oxnard. Elliott is certainly trying to use whatever leverage he can but there are still questions about the longevity of this potential hold out Youth Dorance Armstrong Jersey , mainly will it last longer than August 6th? Elliott is looking for an early payday three years into his rookie deal, You know who also got his money three years in? Todd Gurley of the Los Angeles Rams. Coincidentally, it is rumored that Ezekiel Elliott would like an extension exceeding that of Gurley’s deal and at the very least in that ball park. So how does Ezekiel Elliott compare with Todd Gurley.First off the metrics are important for reference. Last July, the Rams inked Gurley to a four-year, $57.5M deal, with $45M in guarantees. Gurley’s annual average is at $14,375 Dorance Armstrong Jersey Stitched ,000, the highest mark in the NFL. Le’Veon Bell and David Johnson are the only other two running backs with averages in close range to Gurley at around $13M per season. It’s a steep drop to just about $8M per year after those two guys. According to Spotrac, Elliott’s current market value is listed just north of $9M per season but that’s wishful thinking on anyone’s part to believe he will accept anything less than top dollar.Let’s look at Todd Gurley and Ezekiel Elliott’s production through their first three years:PLAYERGAMESATT.YDsTDYPCRECREC YDsTDY/RTodd Gurley had an incredible 2018 season but keep in mind that he was paid prior to any live snaps so the above is what earned him that $57.5M. Ezekiel Elliott compares quite well with Todd Gurley through his first three seasons. Elliott’s camp is most certainly aware of this and it’s favorable to his earning potential. Another variable that favors Zeke eclipsing the Gurley deal is the fact that Elliott has led the league in rushing two of the three years. Elliott managed to finish in the Top-10 in 2017 despite a six-game suspension. The best finish for Todd Gurley in his four seasons was fourth. Ezekiel Elliott means just as much, if not, more than Todd Gurley means to his team. No matter what side of the fence folks fall on in terms of paying running backs in today’s NFL, Zeke is undoubtedly one of the very best players in the league. Elliott understands what he’s up against here with the Cowboys’ front office holding most of the cards but don’t fault the guy for doing whatever he can. The Cowboys may be able to keep the ship afloat without Elliott, they did win three of the six games he missed in 2017 Youth Dalton Schultz Jersey , but let’s not confuse getting by with being able to replace a talent like Elliott. There is no replacing Elliott’s abilities and it would take a stable of guys to supplement his loss. The Cowboys offensive philosophy is completely tied to their offensive line and Ezekiel Elliott. For this offense to continue to grow, the Cowboys need all of their heavy machinery working in tandem. Ezekiel Elliott is a huge cog in this system along with Dak Prescott and Amari Cooper. The NFL is a business that more often than not benefits it’s ownership, which is why any player should be encouraged to know their value and aim high in the negotiation process. For any balking at an asking price that starts and likely exceeds Todd Gurley’s price, the production certainly justifies Ezekiel Elliott side of the argument.
