YoloinOhio Posted July 20, 2017 Author Posted July 20, 2017 (edited) @theMMQB. @AlbertBreer on Zeke Elliott's partying problem and why he needs to learn to manage it... https://www.si.com/nfl/2017/07/20/nfl-carolina-panthers-ron-rivera-dave-gettleman-firing-marty-hurney Ezekiel Elliotts issues follow him. In the August 25, 2016 edition of the Game Plan, we had an NFC area scout saying this about Ezekiel Elliott: As a player, I loved him to death. Hes the highest graded back Ive ever done. He does everything wellrunning, catching, pass pro. But as far as going to Dallas, the bright lights, big city, Ive always thought that could be tough for him. He likes football. He also likes everything that goes along with being a star. So right there is the problem that Dallas has. Its not that he was allegedly involved in a bar fight on Sunday night. Those sorts of things happen with guys in their 20s, and we dont even know yet his level of responsibility in the altercation. Its that there was a pattern of behavior from Elliott coming out of Ohio State thats continued right into his NFL career. The incident on St. Patricks Day can be connected to this one in that they both trace back to his partying. Like our scout said, Elliott has always liked being out on the town as a star and hes always been able to manage it. We knew he burned it at both ends, said a scouting director with one team that was in the mix to pick him in 2016. Thing was, hed go out and party and come back the next morning and be the best worker in the weight roomkind of the typical freak athlete who could pull that off. Likewise, last year, he reported to camp overweight (at 231 pounds), and still won the rushing title. On the flip side, there wasnt concern over this stuff in the past. In fact, before the 2015 season, his Ohio State teammate Joey Bosa was suspended for a game and decided, as a result, to move out of the apartment he shared with Elliott because he wanted to get himself out of that environment. Bosa, like Elliott, had to answer for his partying before the draft, and told teams then that his move was, in effect, his way of turning the page on it. Now, the Cowboys have to hope Elliott makes a similar decision. And to be clear, that doesnt mean he has to stop going outId be a gigantic hypocrite to tell any guy in his 20s that. It means he has to manage it better than he has. I remember hearing stories about Peyton Manning and Tom Brady going out and partying when they were younger, and how theyd make sure they were in very controlled environments when they did. That, of course, is acknowledging that theres a price that comes with fame. Elliott knows about that price now. Whether he can stop paying it remains to be seen. Edited July 20, 2017 by YoloinOhio
C.Biscuit97 Posted July 20, 2017 Posted July 20, 2017 he doesn't have a degree but he's very smart - 34 on the wonderlic. He has a high football IQ as well. But he's simply not street smart and makes poor decisions. And unfortunately he's not a nice guy. Maybe he used to be, but he isn't anymore.They should give you the wonderlic under the influence and see what you score then.

YoloinOhio Posted July 21, 2017 Author Posted July 21, 2017 (edited) Interesting ... NFL owners reportedly pressuring Roger Goodell to suspend Cowboys' Zeke Elliott https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/nfl-owners-reportedly-pressuring-roger-goodell-to-suspend-cowboys-zeke-elliott/ According to Dan Patrick on radio Thursday, that accumulation is a problem for Elliott. But there is a bigger problem brewing, Patrick reported in a very interesting segment on his radio show. There is a faction of owners out there who are pressuring NFL commissioner Roger Goodell to punish Elliott in some form or fashion because of previous punishments handed out to other teams.

YoloinOhio Posted July 23, 2017 Author Posted July 23, 2017 @slaterNFL Jerry Jones on Zeke and league investigation says he's reviewed all the facts "I've seen nothing" (as it pertains to domestic violence) When I pressed Jerry Jones further on review of Zeke findings pertaining to domestic violence he told me "it's not even he said, she said"
Wayne Cubed Posted July 23, 2017 Posted July 23, 2017 @slaterNFL Jerry Jones on Zeke and league investigation says he's reviewed all the facts "I've seen nothing" (as it pertains to domestic violence) When I pressed Jerry Jones further on review of Zeke findings pertaining to domestic violence he told me "it's not even he said, she said" Watching that PC, Jones is not all there. He went on a rant about when he was young and 16 or something. The story made no sense lol.
YoloinOhio Posted July 27, 2017 Author Posted July 27, 2017 @adamschefter Dallas is signing veteran RB Ronnie Hillman, per source. A sense: could be indication of concern over NFL decision on Ezekiel Elliott.
