The Nfl's Long-lasting Ezekiel Elliott Investigation 'smacks' Of This, Which Is Unfair

... and seem to get more buzz. Moore: Yes. But you have to remember, Bryant has missed 10 games the last two seasons due to injury. He failed to rank in the top 50 in the NFL in receptions or yardage last season. I'd argue the buzz surrounding Julio Jones and Antonio Brown is justified and is not limited to the fact they are in pass-happy offenses. They maximize their opportunities and consistently put up high numbers. The buzz surrounding them is justified but in no way minimizes what Bryant has done. Bryant is still considered one of the league's elite receivers. Defensive coordinators still scheme to take him out of games and that creates opportunities for his teammates. But the same happens with those other receivers as well. I'd say Bryant does garner the respect his deserves. Question: With the investigation still lingering, is there any reason to think Zeke could still find himself in trouble with the NFL for the incident last July. Everything you need to know about the NFL's investigation into Cowboys RB ...

Nothing To Ezekiel Elliott Domestic Violence Investigation

... Captain Integrity needs to go. Mar 6, 2017 11:00 AM. Didn’t Jerrah also say this about Greg Harding. whenwilliteverend says. Mar 6, 2017 11:21 AM. I think it’s time the NFL and NFLPA come together in the next CBA and stipulate that disciplinary actions are handled by an INDEPENDENT, UNBIASED third-party. The NFL has made such a mess of so many incidents they have proven they are incapable of conducting any investigation properly (from the Ray Rice ongoing). It seems to me this investigation of Elliott is dragging on and on. What are they doing? Just twiddling their thumbs or just not doing anything while they leave the case open? In the US we have such a thing as due process. I’m not sure the NFL is acting in that matter. Then you add in the puzzling delay in the Aldon Smith decision. If they are supposed to decide within ...

Can Dalvin Cook Get On Ezekiel Elliott's Level

... If they ask it, I’m willing to answer. Willing to move forward and be a better person.”. It’s all part of the puzzle. The main piece, at this point, being his on-field performance. Cook would argue his Florida State tape shows a game-changing back, and that Elliott’s breakthrough proved what that type of performer can do for an offense. “At the next level, ain’t too many spread teams, so everybody’s asking running backs to do the same thing—get out there and split wide, catch the ball,” Cook said. “It’s becoming a passing league, but us running backs are trying to bring it back. Get the ball, pound the ball again so we can open up the pass.”. 'I'm ready for Indianapolis': LB Ben Boulware on the combine and his Sour Patch Kids prank. Exactly how much of a running-back draft revolution is underway in the NFL will be revealed come April 27, based on where Cook, Fournette and the rest of the top talents start coming off the board. But there’s no doubt that Cook will tell teams he’s ...

Ezekiel Elliott Needs A Common Sense Coach

... to hand down a suspension. “I’m a target, that’s what I’ve realized from all of this,” Elliott told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram in September. “I’ve got to conduct myself that way so I can not have any distractions and I can just focus on ball.”. His actions tell a different story. Here we are six months later and this video shows him with what appears to be a beer in one hand while the other holds a handful of tank top. The NFL was not commenting on Monday. The Cowboys can’t be happy. This will go down as another negative Elliott-related headline. They’re starting to pile up. Elliott’s elite talent is obvious. Coaches and analysts rave about the All-Pro’s football intelligence. Those who know him personally describe a gregarious 21-year-old who likes to laugh, and lead. What Elliott seems to be missing — and his biggest weakness might be his only one — is the self preservation trait every star must ...

Ezekiel Elliott Effect Being Felt In This Year's Running Back Class

... backs coming out now.”. Elliott, who ran for 1,631 yards and 15 touchdowns on 322 carries, was the only running back taken in the first round last year. In 2015, Todd Gurley (St. Louis Rams) and Melvin Gordon ( San Diego Chargers ) were top-15 picks. In 2013 and 2014, no running backs went in the first round. The last running back before Elliott to be picked in the top five was Trent Richardson, who went No. 3 overall to the Cleveland Browns in 2012; he was traded to the Indianapolis Colts during his second season and is no longer in football. There might be four running backs picked in the first round this year in Fournette, Cook, Mc Caffrey and Kamara; the last time that happened was in 2008. If not for his off-field issues, Joe Mixon could have been a first-round possibility, as well. “I don’t remember this amount of running backs coming out,” Minnesota Vikings general manager Rick Spielman said. “We just got out of our draft meetings, and there’s a significant amount of talent at that position. And to be honest with you, I can’t remember a year where the draft class at running back is this deep.”. Cowboys coach Jason Garrett’s introduction to Elliott came in the ...

Joe Mixon Delivers Ezekiel Elliott-level Testing Numbers At Oklahoma Pro Day

... be a surprise if Evans isn’t drafted. Although the running back under the microscope on Wednesday was Mixon, Samaje Perine has plenty of fans in the scouting community. He mostly stood on his numbers from the combine, but earned praise from NFL coaches for his work in the positional drills, taking instruction and applying it. Perine put on a clinic of how a running back should look during blocking drills and held his own as a pass-catcher, especially considering he had to compete with Mixon. The Steelers , Vikings and Panthers showed interest in the powerful back, and he only helped himself at the pro day. After declining his Senior Bowl invitation and choosing not to work out in Indianapolis, wide receive Dede Westbrook had a lot on the line on Wednesday’s workout. He measured a hair under 6-foot and 174 pounds and ran a 4.40 40-yard dash. Westbrook didn’t impress on the bench (eight reps) or running the short shuttle (4.39), but he caught almost everything thrown his way during drills. He will be off ...

Lailah Elliott, Zeke’s Sister, Commits To Ohio State Track And Field

... squad in the B 1 G is Michigan, slipping into the top 25 at the 23 rd spot. Ohio State shows up at No. 57 on the overall ranking list.

Gop Health Care, Fewer Luggage Woes, Ezekiel Elliott

... luggage as often. U. S. airlines are doing better than ever at taking care of passengers' luggage. Through a combination of new technologies that allow bags to be tracked in nearly real-time and a renewed focus on the basics of handling luggage, airlines last year reported the lowest rate of mishandled bags — those lost, damaged or delayed — since the Department of Transportation began keeping track in 1987. The rise of baggage fees also has led passengers to check fewer bags or stick to a single carry-on, leaving fewer bags for airlines to mishandle on a per-passenger basis. Also, carriers  grounded more than 5,300 trips ahead of a winter storm that threatens to batter the Northeast United States.
