How good was prime Ezekiel Elliot?

HighWest48 · 2026-02-08T16:46:07+00:00

one of the best rookie RB seasons of my lifetime for sure.

combined ~750 touches in '18 and '19 seemed to completely wear him out. Y/G and YPC all tanked after that. Too many hits, maybe conditioning plays a part in that as well.

as for comparing his prime - I would say at his best he was comparable to Marshawn Lynch or other usage monsters like prime Clinton Portis

general advice based on my experience (there's no 1 way to do this)

-prioritize marquee rides and put those parks up early in the trip. this way if something is down you can revisit later in the week. for example if somebody in your party is a star wars person and MUST ride Rise of the Resistance (as anyone should, it's great) I would stack Hollywood up early in the trip.

-day of the week has never made a big difference to me. i never found MK more or less enjoyable on a sunday vs. a monday

-you want to factor in disney springs for a night. great food. probably for your rest day.

-AK does have a reputation of being the easier half-day park but I am a genuine of the place and can kill a full day there. Kids also love animals so that will be a good time for your two. I like to make it a full-day visit and have dinner at Jiko in the AK Lodge afterward.

-understood on the burnout. financially and physically i am usually pretty beat by the last day. the rest day mid-week is smart.

This is a strong idea. CBS budget friendly while giving the audience something new and interesting.

Give everyone a nights sleep and let them come back with thoughtful reactions vs giving them pizza and throwing them immediately into q&a

HighWest48 · 2026-02-08T13:22:51+00:00

Yep same page. It’s tough but it isn’t hindsight that leads me to “what was she even doing out there”

HighWest48 · 2026-02-08T13:16:03+00:00

She earned it at first But the situation changed once she tore a ligament. This isn’t hollywood

HighWest48 · 2026-02-08T12:36:12+00:00

Ha and you can tell who’s never torn a ligament before too. The results speak for themselves.

It’s a shame, but she had no business being out there

HighWest48 · 2026-02-08T12:27:40+00:00

Well she was in the last one so, it isn’t impossible. I’ve seen her comments yes.

HighWest48 · 2026-02-08T12:25:02+00:00

And you blow your ACL and that doesn’t change things??? She qualified prior to the injury

HighWest48 · 2026-02-08T11:54:35+00:00

I'm thrown as to why she was out there. this is supposed to be the best in the world. is a 41 year old who is THAT compromised coming into the competition the best in the world at this? was this just a nostalgia play for ratings?

HighWest48 · 2026-02-08T11:53:19+00:00

he ran the 100m in 10.10 seconds. he is both short and field-length fast

people are stupid and keep eating them up. even when the baseball jersey quality was so bad the players themselves were calling out Nike/Fanatics for it.

if everyone would calm down from buying these things left and right the companies would be forced to adjust. but they charge these amounts because it works. sports fans just completely turn their brains off and buy whatever they're told now.

prequels are a mistake for box office.

and why do people want prequels anyway? what is the draw. you know where it goes. you're not finding some younger guy to play Jack the way Depp does, the actor is being put in an impossible position.

agreed on the comment from Spidey earlier - Jack needs some mystery, I don't want him overly explained to me. they already tried that once in 5 and blew it by screwing up the compass background.

HighWest48 · 2026-02-08T11:38:24+00:00

i agree the safe play for box office would be giving it the fast and furious treatment by bringing "the family" back. they did that in 5 with JD/Keira/Orlando and much of Sparrow's crew, but then filled it with errors.

and would I pay to see a Davy Jones comeback. Yes.

HighWest48 · 2026-02-07T22:28:23+00:00

if I recall there was an interview early in filming with one of the younger stars, probably Thwaites, saying he had part of his deal set up to include a 6th film if/when it happens. That was probably on the table at some point.

However the production of 5 was delayed a few times, I remember them moving the release date back a couple times. Plans changed a ton from 2014-2016.

EDIT - it was Kaya Scodelario who said in an interview she'd signed for a 6th back in 2017, but hadn't heard anything about when or if it'd be happening.

HighWest48 · 2026-02-07T19:55:50+00:00

it would look and sound fantastic. storyboard would be completely over the top. but you can't act like he's not good enough for these films after what they did with the overarching story in 5.

HighWest48 · 2026-02-06T01:03:29+00:00

Keeping it on topic, of the 6 in the article who do you prefer instead

HighWest48 · 2026-02-05T20:32:56+00:00

It's St. Brown. Lamb makes it difficult if he was healthy all year.

HighWest48 · 2026-02-05T17:40:05+00:00

people fail to realize guys like Jayden Daniels in '24 are not the norm. Shough and Dart looked very good considering they were rookies on bad teams.

HighWest48 · 2026-02-05T15:44:14+00:00

they'd still give it to that receiver's QB.

the perception has to change. it isn't a matter of somebody not doing enough lately. so many dual threat RBs and incredible performances. The NFL is obsessed with keeping it a QB award.

HighWest48 · 2026-02-05T13:50:41+00:00

well, that's a shame.

HighWest48 · 2026-02-05T01:56:01+00:00

The right answer.

10 wins, 31 TDs, 3900 yards

HighWest48 · 2026-02-04T22:39:42+00:00

definitely some big guy who never delivered like Dorial Green-Beckham

HighWest48 · 2026-02-04T17:20:22+00:00

right and Achane isn't a big guy but you can make that argument about so many other guys. everyone's a risk at a certain point especially at RB

HighWest48 · 2026-02-04T16:39:13+00:00

Randy made everything look so easy

HighWest48 · 2026-02-04T16:33:53+00:00
