Zeke cannot do what Pollard does

[kskboys]

And Pollard cannot do what Zeke does.

Zeke is a very good chain moving pile driving RB. He gets the tough yards between the tackles. Often gets yards when there's nowhere to go.

Pollard is an explosive 3rd down back. He explodes through the hole and makes big plays.

This is one of the best combos in the NFL. Zeke takes the majority of the carries and softens 'em up, Pollard takes the top off.

Why is it whenever Pollard has a longer run people start screaming that he should get all the carries? It's just silly. How do you not see that it's the combo that's awesome?

Reminds me of Barber/Jones

Pollard does well in relief. He doesn't have Zeke's body. Give him 20 plus carries, and he'll break.
The rotation works for them and the Cowboys.
Don't mess with that which works.

 

[Blackthorn]

I thought this was going to be about Bar-B-Que. Pollard on his off day will start loading the smoker at 10pm and slow cook a brisket for 10 hours and a pork roast for 8hrs for lunch the following day. Days off at the Pollard house is about fellowship. Zeke can't cook, he only eats.

On the football topic, I am just enjoy the win brother. When my team hustles and give it all their heart, It gives me great satisfaction. I Love my Cowboys.

I disagree.. I think if you stood Zeke on the sideline for 90% of the snaps and let him come in after the other guy has beaten on the defense he would be nice and explosive too and his ypc average would be off the charts. The question is whether Pollard could soften the defense up the way Zeke does? But seriously.. if people can't see that it's the one-two punch that makes it work by now they aren't ever going to. This same noise has been going on since Michael Wiley or Sherman Williams had a nice run or two backing up Emmitt. It's never going to stop.. We can't help them.. as good Christians we can only pray for them! LOL!

dudes dont get what it means to have a banger at RB that beats up on defense 20+ times game, stays in to block, goes out for passes. Then the change of pace back gets 10 or under touches and has a nice play of two..its called fresh legs and worn defense..Pollard is NOT zeke and never will be starter..its obvious to most the more carries you give him that nice average goes down..

the haters weekly simply wait to jump on zeke who is clearly better then pollard, pollards ben backup up his entire career and that his best spot....I wish them both luck but pollard cant do what zeke does, PERIOD..

why do fans have to rip and knock zeke down to compliment pollard? why not simply both had great games that ked to a win.. the troll azz haters cant resist being trolls it bad character and just plain being a tool..

horrible fans in here..always trying to tear down their own payers to suit their narratives instead f just taking the high road and say great game by both..

 

[Avery]

Not going to bag on Zeke too much, but he's definitely lost a step which is odd to say from someone that's 25. The burst he had his first few seasons simply isn't there.

I do think getting Pollard a good ten carries a game will help keep Zeke a bit more rested.

yes no need to dis one to prop up the other they both wear the star wish both success and cheer for your team not come here constantly ripping player while complimenting the other. Passive aggressive punks do this..

troll click baiting at its worst

Why does Derrick Henry still hit big plays and Zeke doesn't?

I'd rather have Kareem Hunt then Zeke.

For as great as Zeke is we have no hardware to show for it. Nothing. Maybe 3.5 yards and a cloud of dust is not the way?

Close, but not quite. Pollard is that explosive jitterbug type. Makes you miss. That's what Zeke doesn't do as well.

 

[kskboys]

Why does Derrick Henry still hit big plays and Zeke doesn't?

Same reason Zeke gets to the LOS much better than Henry. Zeke is better getting going, Henry is better once he gets going. Henry is a big play RB, Zeke is a grinder.

Just get Pollard off kick returns.

It took him until late November to grind a 100 yard game.

You don't pay 15 million a year for this. I'm sorry but you just don't.

No excuses for this when paying that kind of money for a guy who comes asking for a new contract 2 years early. This is called a rip off.

Depends on what you need. Hunt didn't do so well before his OL came together. Hunt isn't anywhere near the grinder/powerback Zeke is. Hunt has his own grinder in Chubb. Watch them play together, it's the same type of combo we have here.

Zeke has been underperforming, no doubt. However, he also had a trash OL early on. It's not coming together, and it shows.

Whooooaaaaaa. Off topic, Catch. We're discussing what certain RB's bring to the table. Zeke's contract mess is irrelevant to this discussion.

[G2]

I noticed that the majority of Pollards high yardage gain runs come when Elliott is not on the field and we're in a spread formation. It wouldn't be realistic to increase the frequency. So, this is working in low doses when the defense doesn't stack the line.
Which is a good thing and is working.

Agreed, except Zeke is overpaid. Should give $3 - $4 mil per year back.

Don't you know, the backup is always the better back. Worked out great every other time we've made the backup the starter, right?

I see some either do not understand or are not willing to understand the meaning of this thread. Per usual.
