    You don't rewrite your gameplan that you practiced all week in 1 hour. If he did that and you heard about it, you would have crapped on him for that, too.

      I am shocked as anyone.

      I figured Zeke would run for over 150+ yards and just expose us. I believed in that so much, that I started Zeke in my fantasy football league. I couldn't be much happier knowing i lost that fantasy game, and my Broncos won.

        Different era and all but still pretty impressive:

        Trevor Siemian's 24 career passing touchdowns are the third most by a Bronco through his first 16 starts, trailing only Peyton Manning (37) and Frank Tripucka (27)



        It's early, I know. Overreactions are easy to make, I know. I was all on the Paxton train this offseason. But this game has me coming around a bit.

          The Cowboys haven't been punched in the mouth like they were Sunday since Dak and Zeke took the reins. Eye-opening.

          I think the thing I'm most concerned about is Dez Bryant. He's struggled a bit the past two games. Teams are playing extremely physical against him right now, and if he can't get separation, the Cowboys offense doesn't really have another consistent vertical threat on the perimeter (Brice Butler would be the best option, but he's far from reliable). Dallas needs that to open things up for Witten and Beasley underneath.

          Maybe he'll turn it around next week and go back to being Dez going forward, but the early results so far this season aren't promising.

            Siemian wasn't terrible last season either.. his big question is if he can stay healthy. I think he can be a pretty serviceable NFL QB, and that's all Denver needs with their defense this year.

              According to multiple media guys the feeling around the league is that Dez is not the same player he was. He is still a good WR but no longer considered as one of the top guys. His inability to create separation is one of the major reasons why.

              He is still elite in the red zone, but more Anquan Boldin type player instead of Fitz

                  If you look up Bucky Brooks's interview with Colin Cowherd from Monday on youtube, you should find something along those lines. There might be more on that elsewhere.

                    No, just something I saw multiple TV personalities on twitter say.

                    I'll see if I can dig one of them up though
                    (Disclaimer: The Boldin comparison and inability to create separation are my own thoughts though, I should have made that clear, sorry. But if people in the league aren't as high on Dez I think separation is a reasonable assumption as to why)

                    Edit: Okay so each of these on their own offers very little, but taken together should backup my post.





                    Some receivers are opponent-proof, but some are more subject to the relative strength of their opponent than you'd expect. Scott Barrett highlights one of the big ones.



                    ^Presumably that tweet was in response to the same things I was reading, but I cannot remember who it came from. You know the sidebar on espn.com that shows recent tweets? It was definitely one of them.

                    Sorry couldn't find an exact link. Over the past couple of months I've seen multiple off hand comments along the lines of this though.

                      Wasn't questioning you. Have just been arguing with a Cowboys friend and was too lazy to look anything up on my own.

                        Just didn't want you thinking I was one of those who disguise their opinion as not theirs but coming from anonymous experts lol.

                        You know the type.
