Transcript

00:00Let's start off with Georgia's Dallas Cowboys, Ezekiel Elliott is back for another ride,

00:09so to speak.

00:11Rico Dowdle is also back for another ride, by the way, he's been on the Cowboys now for

00:14a couple of years.

00:15They also signed Dalvin Cook, I believe he is not active, George, is that correct?

00:19He's not activated yet?

00:20I don't know, maybe he is.

00:22But either way, Ezekiel Elliott, you're hoping the Cowboys get near the goal line, he can

00:27score a touchdown.

00:28He was largely effective, surprisingly, on a really bad New England team last year.

00:34You could even make the case, maybe even more effective than he was with Dallas two years

00:38ago.

00:39So, you know, I guess it's fair to say maybe he has one good season in him, but the touchdown

00:43capital is going to be huge for him this season.

00:45Without that, I don't know that it's going to be a successful year.

00:49I can just parrot everything you said, because everything you said is correct, right?

00:52To be effective, he's going to need touchdowns, right?

00:54He might get them, not tomorrow, I'll have more to say about that in the next segment.

00:59But there's a lot of cooks in the kitchen here.

01:02Boy, I just thought about that on the spot, right?

01:04Dalvin Cook, as of right now, is on the practice squad.

01:07I do think eventually he gets on this team, because they're going to see what he can do.

01:10Because Elliott's not going to get it done, Dalvin's no real threat here, though Cook

01:14will get his chances.

01:15I don't know about tomorrow, because they haven't activated him as of yet, we'll see

01:18what happens.

01:19I think they have to make up their mind, Craig, by four o'clock today, take somebody off.

01:23Four o'clock Eastern, I think that's the rule, so we'll see here.

01:25But bottom line is this, I've got Zeke in a couple of leagues, he's a reserve.

01:29I'm not starting.

01:30If you're starting Zeke, you probably have some issues at running back, boys and girls

01:34here.

01:35Unless you're in a 16-, 18-, 20-team league, then hey, we've got to do what we've got to

01:37do here.

01:38But he's a reserve.

01:39I'm hoping, perfect world, bi-week filler, injury guy, that's what I want.

01:43I don't want to have to start a week in and a week out.
