Guess you forgot the Rams game, when he juked half the defense?

There's less than 5 guys in the league who make that run and this run:

4 is half of 11? I know I suck at math, but not that bad.

Nope. There's plenty in his game to critique.

Made up platitudes don't do anything except show how you don't know what you're talking about.

Yea, and his lack of elusiveness is near the top. Your contradiction there is pretty telling about what you know of more likely what you are willing to admit.
He's no longer a top RB in the league. Sad, but we need to face it if we are going to get better as a team. Hopefully we continue to play Pollard more as we have been. He provides what Zeke just can't...and vice versa of course...

If you are truly a fan of chub chub boy I highly recommend not plotting a graph of his career yards per carry and career yards per reception. Trust me it ain't pretty.

It’s more like he surprised the defense since his M.O. is to put his head down and initiate contact. Looked like all 4 of them expected him to just run out of bounds. But, it was nice he did actually make a move, even if it was just a simple cut back.

We are a OSU family and watched him all through his days in Columbus. His speed is definitely gone. Only 2 runs over 20 yards this entire year. I miss the OSU version of Zeke where he was a threat every carry.

Oh, so Ohio state played tough teams every week, who were just as good as NFL teams?

College isn't the NFL...

I didn't realize there were so many elite athletes in perfect physical condition on this forum. Truly great company.

He's not a scat back idk why we'd want him to be "elusive," whatever that means? This is exactly my point. People want Zeke to be a power back who is efficient in short yardage, a speed back who has long TDs, and be the most elusive back in the league. These players do not exist.

Pollard gives you one thing and that's, one-cut straightline speed. These guys are all over the league - the 9ers have like 4 of them.

That's a silly statement and not true at all. I think most reasonable fans want him to be the guy HE was a couple of years ago. No one expects him to be what you are pretending they are expecting.

He has added some mass, simply to be able to withstand the amount of miles this team is going to put on him. How many times have we seen zeke just bull people over. It’s a style of running and a small frame wouldn’t work. You aren’t gonna juke you’re way to the end zone every time in the NFL. You’re gonna have to run someone over once in a while. If the team decides they want zeke to cut some weight and be that guy again I’m sure his carries would be managed a lot more. We would maybe see more screens and different type of run plays. Until then it’s pound the rock between the tackles and take what they give us. We also don’t play with the lead very much so of course we don’t effectively run the ball as well as some other teams right now. Let’s just chill on the let’s cut zeke he is done stuff....geez

He may not be fat, but he is slow. A slightly above average, short yardage power back. I could find one of those at the Home Depot.

Include 20 yards plays also. Very rare now.

You truly don't understand why it is a good thing if a RB is elusive, or you you don't understand the term? Curious which it is.
