They're running him into the ground, remember how many times we saw him tap his helmet after a run so he could get a breather? They want to use him up and then spit him out in two years when his contract is up. Zeke is smart to hold out because Dak and this offense will be bottom 5 without him.
To be fair, his conditioning is nowhere near the level it was when he was at OSU.
Breh flat out doesn't take care of his body the way guys like Gurley, Bell, Tomlinson, Peterson did/do. He relies on innate talent.
I agree that we're running him into the ground and from his standpoint, a holdout is his only leverage to protect his future.
Now you got Jerry publicly devaluing the position and we're bringing in Alfred. Zeke's team not even countering the Cowboys' offer to him. It's officially gotten spooky.
Low-key this could be good for us. If Zeke sits out games or the whole damn season and Dak and Garrett get exposed something serious, it would honestly be the best situation outside winning a championship.
I would take 5-11 without Zeke over 10-6 with him and a divisional round loss.
