about the game versus the Colts and that would be the likely answer Ezekiel Elliott Color Rush Jersey , once you censored out all of the swearing. There is just not much good to say about a game where the Cowboys lose 23-0. We’ll have to stretch the definition of “game ball” this week, but not too much. One guy was still a warrior out there and gave it everything he had. Ezekiel Elliott just doesn’t quit. A week after he had 40 touches, he lead the Cowboys on offense, in fact, he was basically their offense. He carried the ball 18 times for 87 yards. While falling short of 100 yards, he did average a healthy 4.8 yards per carry. Additionally, Zeke had seven catches (on eight targets) for 41 yards. That’s 128 yards from scrimmage on a day when the offense had only 292 yards.It wasn’t just the yards, but it was the physical nature of his running. He was not to be denied. Several times he was stopped short of a first down only to use his legs and churn out a conversion. In fact, the physical nature of his running, including another hurdle over a defender where he ended up getting pounded https://www.dallascowboysfanshop.com/Rod-Smith-Jersey , is starting to take its toll. Zeke was noticeably limping at a point in the second half. He is starting to ask out of games more and more. He is giving everything he has and it’s starting to catch up with him. The Cowboys are reliant on Zeke, and he doesn't shy away from that. In an awful game, Ezekiel Elliott demonstrated he was ready for action, unlike the rest of his team.As an honorable mention, let’s throw out some kudos to Dalton Schultz and Blake Jarwin. The tight end role is finally starting to matter again. Schultz had three catches for 23 yards and Jarwin had four catches for 45 yards. It wasn’t a tremendous output, but following up on last week’s game, they are showing they can add to this Cowboys offense. Otherwise, there wasn’t much to like about the Cowboys on Sunday. It shouldn’t have been that shocking that the Dallas Cowboys beat the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday night. When this team plays well, they can be a force. Holding the Eagles to just 20 points shouldn’t be too surprising. After all, the Cowboys defense is the stingiest defense in the NFC when it comes to points allowed and let’s face it - the Eagles offense isn’t exactly lighting it up like they were last season.What was totally surprising Kavon Frazier Jersey , though, is how much of a non-factor Fletcher Cox and Haloti Ngata were on the Eagles interior defensive line. Not only were the Cowboys without their All-Pro center Travis Frederick, but rookie Connor Williams was out with a knee injury, forcing the team to have Xavier Su’a-Filo and Adam Redmond compete for the starting gig last week. And because of a knee injury that caused All-Pro guard Zack Martin to miss some snaps, both of these reserve linemen were thrown into action Sunday night. It had all the makings of a giant mess for this Cowboys offensive line that could have resembled the Atlanta debacle last year where they couldn’t protect Dak Prescott to save their life.But none of those bad things happened. Instead, it was quite the contrary. Martin returned to man the right guard spot which brought a giant sigh of relief over Cowboys Nation. But it was the play of an unlikely big man that have people buzzing now. Xavier Su’a-Filo (pronounced ZAY-vee-er sue-ah-FEE-low) did a fantastic job at left guard.You may remember back in 2014 when the Cowboys made the first splash on Day 2 of the draft to trade up to select DeMarcus Lawrence with the 34th overall pick. Well, the Texans had a shot to take Lawrence as they had the first pick of the day, but they had already selected Jadeveon Clowney with the first-overall pick in the draft. So they opted to select Su’a-Filo, who was the second guard taken in the draft after Zack Martin. Su’a-Filo played his entire rookie contract with the Texans, but he never lived up to his draft cost and for that reason - he’s viewed by many as a disappointment. This sounds like a similar song we heard last year when the Cowboys signed former first-round pick Jonathan Cooper. As it turned out Cole Beasley Color Rush Jersey , Cooper was solid at left guard and started 13 games for the Cowboys last season.Over the past two seasons, injuries have plagued the left guard position, but in each instance the reserve has come in and not only played serviceable, but they have stolen the job from the starter. Ron Leary did it to La’el Collins in 2016 and then Cooper last season. Could Su’a-Filo make it three years in a row?Getting Connor Williams at pick 60 was a great deal for the Cowboys, but the rookie has had his share of struggles this season. Maybe those growing pains could’ve been hidden in between two All-Pro players like Frederick and Tyron Smith, but Frederick hasn’t been around and Smith hasn’t been his typical All-Pro self. As a result, Williams’ struggles in the trenches have hurt the offense at specific times.Ideally, you want the young player to get his reps so he can develop, but the team must assemble the group that is going to produce the best results on the field. It’s just one game, but it’s very possible that this former 33rd overall pick could be the better choice right now.Ezekiel Elliott had his largest yards-per-attempt average of the season as he had plenty of holes to run through Sunday night. Su’a-Filo did a good job securing his blocks https://www.dallascowboysfanshop.com/Marcus-Martin-Jersey , opening up running lanes for Zeke. Elliott had two-straight runs for nice gains in the third quarter when he was able to find creases behind Su’a-Filo.Photo courtesy of NFL Game PassAnd this continued throughout the night. Look at Su’a-Filo get into the second level and block the linebacker, freeing Zeke up for a big gain.Photo courtesy of NFL Game PassWhen Elliott can get some traction going, he’s tough to stop. He had a league-high four runs of 15 yards or greater on Sunday night and now leads all running backs this season with 18 rushing attempts of 15+ yards.And sometimes the little things can be the difference between a tackle for a loss or a nice gain near the goal line.Check out Brian Baldinger’s breakdown where he mentions the play of Su’a-Filo a couple times.It wouldn’t surprise me if Williams recovery ended up taking a little longer than it normally would if the team desperately needed his services. They might as well let him heal up completely and give the veteran more opportunities to see what he can do. Williams has plenty of time to develop his craft, but his on the job training shouldn’t come at the expense of losing football games. Right now, they need a good left guard and it’s very possible that person is Su’a-Filo. If Su’a-Filo can continue to play at the level he did against Philadelphia, that could mean we see more of him down the stretch.What would you do - stay with Su’a-Filo or go back to the rookie when he’s healthy?
