In Zeke (Ezekiel Elliott), we had an opportunity. I know how badly, he wanted to be back with the Cowboys. I personally thought that his work in New England (in 2023) was better than a lot of other people evaluated it. I thought he did carry the mail during some critical times for them.
I feel a lot better than some of the critiques. I'm a little surprised, to fans, that it isn't more apparent to fans, that we put an outstanding team together. I think the team is in better shape to roll than it was last year.
There was never any question on how we (Cowboys) felt about CeeDee Lamb. I don't see any rewards or I don't see any penalties on a timer. Does he get on the field and does he get on the field when he ought to be out there? So, I had no urgency at all to getting him to the field.
I believe Zeke gives us more in the short yardage than our fans do.
