Ezekiel Elliott Needs A Common Sense Coach

... 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 have in today’s society. This is where a common sense coach could come in handy. Q: Hey Coach, should I check out this Seattle pot shop before a preseason game. A: Pass. Q: Hey Coach, should I inject myself into a shoving and shouting match that broke out in my sister’s high school basketball game. A: Best to sit that one out. Q: Hey Coach, should I expose a woman in public while the NFL is still weighing ...

Nothing To Ezekiel Elliott Domestic Violence Investigation

... Mar 6, 2017 9:19 AM. It only continues to be a story because the weak kneed male fans of the Patriots continue to whine about every utterance emanating from NFL HQ. Time for some testicular fortitude in New England. How do you even begin to make this about the Patriots? This story, if you pause to read it, is about a Dallas player getting his ‘investigation’ dragged out to a point that is unfair and more than a little surreal. That has nothing to do with the Patriots, its amazing that a guy can rwad this article and think ‘Patriots!’. When you see a can of peas on the shelf do you think Patriots? When you are taking your tests in school do you answer every question with ‘Patriots’? Forget the Patriots or buy a jersey. You really need to choose. And as far as the correct topic here….condolences to Elliot. If they dont have evidence to go forward with by this point or really months ago its really unfair to him to just leave it hanging there as an open matter. ...

Gop Health Care, Fewer Luggage Woes, Ezekiel Elliott

... would see federal assistance drop in GOP health care plan. Middle class Texans who saw no federal help in paying for Obamacare will get some relief under the new GOP health care plan. But many lower-income and older Texans, especially in rural areas, will see federal aid shrink under the proposal winding its way through Congress, experts from several health policy organizations warn. They're among the millions of Americans who will see their federal assistance drop dramatically under the GOP proposal unveiled last week by Speaker Paul Ryan, experts say, leading to what many predict will be a massive rise in the uninsured.

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

Only one general manager and head coach attended the workout: Minnesota Vikings general manager Rick Spielman and head coach Mike Zimmer, along with running back coach Kennedy Polamalu. Mixon had several meetings set up after his pro day, but not disclose them. “You live and you learn,” Mixon said. “You go through a lot of things in life and what you do from whatever mistake, you can’t take anything back. At the end of the day, you can only learn from what you did.”. Mixon was outstanding during the positional drills, especially as a pass-catcher. He showed off fluid strides, soft hands and smooth body control to catch-and-run in one motion, displaying why some feel his receiving talent is his best asset. Mixon struggled during punt return drills, struggling to locate, but did improve with added reps. A true wild card in terms of draft projection, Mixon has first-round talent, but he won’t be on every draft board and teams will feel differently about where his value on draft weekend. At this point, Mixon only has one expectation: “just to be ...

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

... 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 Ezekiel Elliott, assault allegations. Moore: From that incident in July, no. Officials didn't find enough evidence to proceed. I don't anticipate that the league will find anything else from that episode, no matter how long this investigation remains open. The issue here, in my mind, is how long do you keep an investigation open until that becomes unfair to the individual? These are serious accusations and the NFL has shown in the past it hasn't been as diligent as it should have been in monitoring them. But you get the sense here the league is keeping this investigation open not because they have found something, but if another incident does occur they can't be criticized for failing to act on that initial ...

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

... Indianapolis at the NFL scouting combine, working to impress teams and scouts and making a strong running back class even stronger. Elliott is either enjoying the fruits of his rookie success with the Dallas Cowboys - after having led the NFL in rushing in 2016 - or preparing for his second season with the Cowboys or both, but there is an Elliott effect being felt in this year’s draft. Before Elliott’s success as the fourth overall pick in the 2016 NFL draft, running backs were mostly viewed as difficult pieces to find in order to help an offense succeed.

Can Dalvin Cook Get On Ezekiel Elliott's Level

... 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, ...
