Another day of lackluster production and another fumble by Zeke. 6 fumbles in a season is unacceptable. 6 in 11 games is a horror show. Pollard had a crucial fumble last year and hasn't fumbled since. Nobody will say that Pollard is better than Zeke but there are hundreds of examples over the years of a better player being traded or released when their production doesn't merit the huge dollars they are being paid.
Zeke has 220 touches to Pollard's 71 and has only had one play the entire season over 20 yards. IF he doesn't get it done next year...
I don't know if Zeke is as good as Gibson right now.

Ike doesn't know if Zeke is as good as Pollard right now,
Word on the street in cowgirl land, they want to see Tony getting more touches,
Zeke counting his money not his yards

AG is having a solid rookie campaign but I've never understood case for using TDs a barometer of any sort. You could have a scat back do the heavy lifting to get the ball from the 25 - the opponents 5 yrd line only to have a big back brought in to score. I know many value the metric but I do not.
Happy for the former tiger though

RE: A. Gibson
A.G. was used early on to power run in from 5 yd line
Ike spoke to a redskin source and last game A.G. busted a 23 and 34 yd t.d.'s up the gut
Hopefully they'll take IKE's advice and throw to him in the end zone occasionally
Meanwhile the girls let Tony watch Zeke do nothing, Ike has spoke to a cowgirl source about Tony getting
15 or more touches, we could see this happen this week
In IKE's opinion Zeke is nicked and knows what Tony can do and doesn't want to sit.

RE: A. Gibson
from espn.com
Washington running back Antonio Gibson is becoming a dangerous player. His patience and vision have improved every week, and the nation saw what the rookie third-round pick can do on Thursday. Thanks to Gibson, Washington is developing an identity on offense. He has the ability to make big plays, but he also has been consistently getting positive yards on first down of late -- those four-yard gains that might be nondescript but coaches love. Washington has many holes, but it has improved enough to factor into the NFC East race over the final five games, thanks to players such as Gibson. -- John Keim

Zeke's explosion seems to have gone by the wayside. Gibson looks great!

Never worth paying a back big money in the NFL- has been the case for the last 20 years. There is not much difference in a great back and a very good back over a 2 or 3 year period. Of the backs making $10,000,000+ Derek Henry and Alvin Kamera might be the only backs worthy of their contract right now
great QBs, Receivers, and D-Linemen are so much more valuable over their potential replacements that they "deserve" bigger contracts- this is where the big money should be spent

Right about when they are due big money, most hit a wall at around 26-27 years old. It usually isn't a slow fade.

Well, o-linemen too.
But the big point is NFL RB shelf-life is about the equivalent of leftover turkey & dressing. Good today, bad tomorrow.
Yeah, I see you, Derrick Henry. Enjoy him now, because it could be over as quickly as next year...
