ARLINGTON, Texas – Dazlas Cowboys were running back Ezekiel Elliott was not blaming any part of the loss-10-10 Arizona Cardinals on Monday night in the absence of quarterback Dak Prescott. He was putting all this on himself.
“I don’t think we can use that as an excuse,” said Elliott, not to mention Prescott, who suffered a joint fracture at Week Tu-End and had a right ankle in Week 5. Over – I started the game with two glooms, gave the ball and gave them all the momentum to take it fast, I have to say sorry and this is up to me. I need to get better. “
Elliott finished with 49 yards with 12 carry and caught eight passes high in the team but only in 31 yards. However, it was gloomy on back-to-back drives in the first and second quarters that changed the game.
The first slip was made after Blendy Dalton’s short pass on the first down, but safety Buda Baker snatched the ball and Jordan Phillips recovered. Eleven play later Killer Murray and Christian Kirk got a 6-yard flip for a touchdown.
Two plays in the front possession, Elliott circled again, Phillips freeing the ball in Dallas 30. After five plays, Kenyan Drake, running behind Arizona, gave the Cardinals a second touchdown and gave them a 14-0 lead.
“I mean, when you’re pitching every game the wrong way, obviously the teams are going to lock on to it and go even further for it,” Elliott said. “Dude, I have more than one reason to understand that, huh. I don’t want to keep talking about it, but I have to figure it out.”
Tony Pollard was running when the Cowboys came on the field after Elliott’s second flick. When Elliott returned to the field after eight pictures, there was a commotion among the crowd.
“Every league that plays in this league is no different from our football team. If you don’t take care of football, it affects your chances,” said coach Mike McCarthy. “Tony got the chance, and I think he did some good things with his chances.”
Elliott has hit four career highs in six games and opponents have turned every take-way into a touchdown. ESPN According to statistics and data research, Elliott has lost more than 133 ships, more than 133 carriers connected in 1,104 touch (three) of the NFL’s other top 10 racers.
“I’m giving the ball,” Elliott said. “I wasn’t helping my team. I think they did the right thing and gave some of the delegates. [Pollard], But I can’t do that. I want to be a person who can adopt this team attitude, especially at a time like this where many of our early ones are hurting and not playing. So it’s not acceptable, and I need to find it. “
Elliott said he focuses on keeping the ball tight in practice. Cowboys practice hand-handling every day in practice.
“I just got a short memory,” Elliott said. “I’ve got it behind me and will play some good ball and land on the roll.”
Elliott is playing a career-long six-game without a 100-yard outing. He suffered a 10-14 five-game drought last week last season, but did not go into more than two games to open the season without a 100-yard performance before 2020.
Some of them can survive on defenses that have struggled, but the Cowboys (2-4) have closed the turnover 84 points out of 218 this season.
“He understands. He knows it,” Dalton said. “Zack is going to fix this thing.”
Elliott also knows he needs to improve quickly.
“At the end of the day, Zack sings our bell, and we need to make it right,” McCarthy said. “It’s part of the plan. It’s going to be part of the success. We have to take it right. We have to take care of football, and that’s for everyone who touches the football on our team.”
