CDTShareTweetShareShareReport: There’s concern that the NFL may be out to make an example of Ezekiel ElliottPhoto by Tom Pennington/Getty ImagesThe beginning of OTAs hasn’t exactly gone smoothly for the Dallas Cowboys, at least as far as things happening to them off of the field.Last week it was reported that Ezekiel Elliott was handcuffed, but not arrested, at a music festival in Las Vegas. This week the security guard that he had the altercation with went on record for wanting a sincere apology, courtesy of an interview with CBS Los Angeles. Needless to say headlines like this aren’t great in any locker room or for any player of any sport, but Ezekiel Elliott obviously has a history with the NFL and punishment. He was infamously suspended for six games two years ago and given instructions to walk a fine line from that point on out. An altercation of any kind is hardly walking such a line.There seems to be growing concern that the NFL may be out to make an example of ElliottBleacher Report’s Mike Freeman took on the Zeke subject at the beginning of his “10-Point Stance” piece on Wednesday. He discussed how there is growing concern throughout the league that the league itself could be out to make an example of Zeke. That wouldn’t be good.Again, Elliott has a past in the NFL court of law. Whether you agreed with the way his previous alleged transgressions were handled by Roger Goodell or not Geoff Swaim Jersey , the facts are that he was punished for them and lives in a world where he has to walk the fine line mentioned.If Zeke is getting into an altercation at a music festival in Las Vegas, to any sort of degree, it’s only tempting the NFL to prove that they’re not going to stand for that sort of behavior. Freeman summarizes the point and how we got here quite well.Zeke’s past includes more than the events that were just the domestic violence allegations, the St. Patrick’s Day Parade back in 2017 is mentioned and has been well-documented. Later that summer he was also accused of punching a man in the face at a bar. There are definitely reasons to be concerned, and definitely reasons for the NFL to “make an example” of them. The Cowboys rookie running back showed a lot to be excited about." Dallas Cowboys 2019 Preseason GamesPlay of the Game: Tony Pollard stole the show against the Los Angeles RamsNew,27commentsThe Cowboys rookie running back showed a lot to be excited about.CDTThis is an outside zone play. Witten blocks out on the defensive end. He gets pushed into the backfield but manages to maintain his block on John Franklin-Myers. Right tackle La’el Collins takes a wide path. He is responsible for the C-Gap defender. After ensuring that the defensive end did not stunt inside of Witten he works up to the second level engaging on Rams safety Steven Parker. Right guard Xavier Su’a-Filo and center Travis Frederick are responsible for a combo block on 3-technique Morgan Fox working up to Taylor Rapp. Su’a-Filo engages on Fox’s outside shoulder, while Frederick reaches on his inside. As Rapp flows to his left, Frederick takes over the block on Fox and Su’a-Filo works up to the block Rapp.Left guard Connor Williams is responsible for the A-Gap defender Anthony Brown Color Rush Jersey , Tanzel Smart. Williams engages him, but is leaning too far forward. Smart takes advantage of this and throws him to the ground. He is able to get to Pollard but cannot make the tackle.Kyle Terada-USA TODAY SportsThat leaves two defenders remaining in the box and only left tackle Cameron Fleming to block them. Fleming steps hard into the B-Gap. This is the closest to the play, and Fleming must make sure that no one can run through it unimpeded. When no one attempts to run through this gap, he wheels back to block the most dangerous of the pursuers. Pollard takes a wide path. His first read is the block of the end man on the line of scrimmage, Franklin-Myers. When he sees that Witten is blocking the defender out, Pollard’s eyes go to the combo on the three technique, Fox. When Pollard sees that Su’a-Filo and Frederick have washed Fox out, he cuts tight off of Frederick’s butt. Remember https://www.dallascowboysfanshop.com/Joe-Looney-Jersey , there is an unblocked player on the back side, so it is important that Pollard not cut back too far.Pollard lowers his shoulder and runs through Smart’s attempted tackle. By the time additional Rams defenders get to him, his momentum is enough to carry him into the endzone. On this play Pollard shows great vision and balance to finish off the team’s opening drive with a touchdown. Expectations are high for Pollard, and so far he is living up to them.
