If not, that’s good news for everyone else in the division because Stevenson is much better than Zeke. He is still a very good back up. He can get the tough yards, convert short yardage runs for first downs, and score TDs in the red zone. It's a nice pick up for NE. Still they are behind the talent curve in the AFC East. However, they won't be an easy out either. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machine gun kelly Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 31 minutes ago, Shaw66 said: Klein's snaps just went up. And Rapp for Taron. That’s the counter for 12 personnel and 21 or even heavy 11 run teams. Rapp’s a thumper. As far as Zeke, he has a job so good for him. I don’t know if he’s shot, but he’s not the featured back anymore. He’s the complimentary guy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Success Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 Kind of head-scratching why they didn't keep a younger, better RB who would have cost less than half of what they're paying Zeke. But thanks, New England. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That dude is a monster. Sometimes I think I was educated in a different language "Worth up to equals there are incentives in Ezekiel Elliott's deal with the Patriots." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfan89 Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 Zeke is a nice backup, solid pickup but not really moving the needle much. He last was a true "workhorse" RB1 in 2019. The last three seasons he has been pretty average. Pollard surpassed him in 2021 as the more efficient back. From my limited time watching the Cowboys last season it seemed like Zeke was still a decent back but just far from the elite player he once was. I think in NE he will have a decent run, he is just 28 and his workload the past 2-3 seasons has declined a bit so he isn't someone with a ton of wear and tear so to speak. TLDR: Not a bad move but not a dynamic needle mover either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Success Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 Fitting, since I sense the Patriots are going to look a lot like the post-90s dynasty Cowboys in the years ahead. This isn't moving any needle for them. 4th place is waiting for you, New England. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rc2catch Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 I don’t think Zeke offers much at this point, but I wouldn’t discount his blocking especially in the red zone. You know they’ll have some special redzone packages with this Cunningham kid, and Zeke might play a significant role for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will beat you down with the run game and limit the snaps of the opposing offense. It’s brilliant to cover for their lack of talent.
