Leadership is when EzE was on the sideline clamoring to get the ball and carry the team ( no pun intended). The coaches responded by giving him two carries in the second half.

Zeke just fell on the sword for the younger offensive players that will be here next season.

I'd be angry at EE if his assessment wasn't correct.

100% agree

I think he is using his unique position to say what needs saying.

Zeke has next week, I hope he gets the chance he wanted this week. I see him as the focus of the D again.

I hope so, too. He should be the focus of the D. Before yesterday 15 teams in a row tried to stop him and really couldn't do it. With a guy like that, you run him right down their throats until they figure out how to stop him. I hope they all use the anger and frustration from this to motivate them to play pissed off and kick some ass to finish the season.

No problem with what Zeke said. He was right on all accounts. Play calling was terrible. I was with the mind of many saying zeke didn't need more carries, because he wasn't getting anywhere. But then zeke mentioned they ran a different blocking scheme on the TD drive, where we were getting some 5-6 yard runs, and after that drive they stopped calling those blocking schemes. I don't know much about this but it seems to me that last year when we struggled to run, all of a sudden the line would change the scheme to adjust and start gashing the defense. He is frustrated. We are all frustrated. I think he also made a good point when he calls out 'whoever is calling the plays'. He doesn't know, we don't know. That's a problem. Is Warriner calling the plays, is Beck calling the plays? Meyer says some of the play calling was on him, but he never seems involved in the play calling unless it's a 'go for it on 4th' type of play call. This co-coordinator [Mark May] always pisses me off. It's just another way of being indecisive.

This has really bothered me all season. Va Tech beat us because we did not have Braxton, and we did not have much diversity in our run game. They aligned in such a way that our inside zone was not going to be consistent, and our passing game was not good enough yet to take advantage. Had Braxton been in, it wouldn't have mattered because he would have scrambled for 300 yards against all the man coverage, but such is life. The coaching staff responded however by using gap and sweep plays to counter since every team we played copied Va Tech's gameplan. By the end of the season we were able to obliterate Bama and Oregon with those plays. We ran a counter with a jet sweep fake against Oregon that Bama and several other teams have copied because it's so effective. You'd think we'd see that stuff emphasized this year, but it was all but absent even though teams were again using a front that shut down our inside zone. It wasn't until Indiana that gap plays showed up in earnest again, and Ezekiel went wild. Then they pretty much disappear until our 38 yard TD drive at MSU, and then never get called again. I don't get it...How much more evidence do you need?!

Zeke spoke for the team last night. You can see it on all the Offensive specialists

Agree completely. Spoke for the team after the game and mostly for the other O specialist. Hope the coaches release this angry monster on the shitbags this week. I have 0 faith in that though.

Nice try on the backpedal. I neither blamed Zeke nor called him out. Brush up on your reading skills and set your hubris to the side.

Whatever the fuck you want to call it, you said this:
I get the frustration, but it's not like he was ripping off huge runs when he got the ball (his long in 12 carries was 7 yards). Not that any of this was his fault (OSU was getting its ass kicked at the line of scrimmage); my point rather is that the run game didn't justify him getting more carries.

Call that whatever you want, it's not fair to him since the staff was telling the MSU front 7 that they didn't have to worry that a pass was coming, go ahead and sell out for the run on every play. That's not fair to Zeke to act like "Well it's not like he was any good this game".


>Calls somebody out on reading comprehension.
>Doesn't understand what was being said. Twice.

Oxford defines "calling someone out" as drawing critical attention to someone's unacceptable actions or behavior. I'd suggest you brush up on the English language and the meaning of its words before responding again.

You've refused to define "calling someone out" despite other posters asking you to. I guess it is easier to apply your own, unstated (!) definitions to the labels you're tossing around.

I think my definition of what calling somebody out means should be clear from what I posted.....since you're big on reading comprehension and everything. But if you feel like being lazy and not figuring it out on your own, good news! You don't even have to! Because, for the third fucking time, whatever you want to call what you posted...calling out or otherwise.....it's not fair to Zeke since he was playing against a stacked deck. Play semantics with the definition of "calling out" all you want (and let's be super honest here.....what you posted fits Oxfords definition that you just posted), you still should be able to get the gist of what I'm saying.
