....I'm confident that he's heard all the talk. At some point players notice that too.

I'm sure he's heard the talk, yes. But most of the quotes we see publicized, with the exception of tweets, are direct answers to questions posed by "journalists", so if he's never been asked, there's no reason for him to answer.

Ezekiel is not a bad guy at all. He’s merely a boy with world class ability that decided to stop working and enjoy early retirement in the form of “ Load Management”.
He’ll be a short fat kid in just a few years after he stops “playing”

I'm that fat kid now and didn't have his career. Life isn't fair!!!

Ok pollard had 1 or 2 good runs last week and averaged the same with the same team Zeke has been on. I get what your saying but Pollard ain't it

Pollard also made plays in the passing game, though. Zeke doesn't really give you that.

The difference is Pollard will break the long run. Zeke will not; just four 40+ runs in 1,380 carries.

They should try letting Pollard start and see if Zeke can take advantage of the tired defense on fresh legs for a game or two.

This approach would not bother me one bit. Though the difference would be that the defense would never ignore Zeke in the flat the way they were doing to Pollard last week. When he's on the field Zeke is the focal point of the defense whether he starts or not.. But it would be fun to see him come in on say, the third series after Pollard has softened the D up some. I know they would never do it, but it I'd be interested to see it.

I can agree with that, how many 1 yard grind them out yards will pollard get. In my opinion it's a great 1, 2 punch but so many fans want to choose sides, hell let them play and we win I'm happy and do not care

Amen brother.. It's about my team winning not this fantasy football BS. Those of us who played understand this.. When your teammate is on the field you scream like hell for him to succeed.. But at the same time you want your chance to help the team as well. On my college freshman team I averaged 14 yards per carry and 41 yards per kickoff return.. but never started. Of course I wanted to play more and I thought I could help the team win.. but we were 9-1.. what the hell would I look like complaining about PT in that scenario. So I sat my arse down and ran like a bat outta hell when my number was called. And I was probably the only one on the team who got excited when the other team scored!! LOL!

Man exactly bro lol. Been there and done that as well. Its annoying because this fan base is so bipolar ita crazy. If they trade 21 and start 20 I'll give it 1 year before they turn on him. But anyway its TEAM first always, as a fan it's so hard for me to root against my team amd our players NO MATTER. It gets annoying seeing us doing good or someone playing well amd instead of cheering them on they find a way to RIP somebody else on the team that's not playing as well

More hot air from you.

You made every lame attempt at trying to discredit Pollard despite the fact the same criticism could have been leveled at Zeke.

BTW, I noticed you tucked tail after saying I was lying about claiming you heard Dak’s doctor saying there was no ligament damage. Luuulz, blowhard.

Yeah I've given up trying to explain the team dynamic to people .. This business of constantly wanting to pit one guy against the other absolutely baffles me.. I complained about playing time once in my entire high school and college career.. and it really wasn't for myself.. but for my best friend.. I was a junior and he was a senior. He was a 6'2" 210 pound super athlete with 4.4 speed who for whatever reason the coaches would not play. About midseason I went to the coaches and told them they should be getting him some totes.. Well I started out pleading for all of us to get some run but when they rolled their eyes I focused on him. He was raw as hell but his physical talent was undeniable. Because I was.. ahem.. the best speaker (read the biggest mouth) of our little scout team group I got elected to go talk to the coaches.. They came along but I did all the talking.. Long story short, the coaches listened.. at least when it came to him.. He got to play a little more down the stretch that season and ended up getting a ride to Edinborough College in PA. And yes, that is meant to tell you how good our high school squad was.. The fourth string running back got a scholarship to play college ball. As did 21 other guys on that team.. including 2 to Florida, 3 to Florida State and one to Miami. We were good.. really good. Unfortunately our coaches were idiots.. so we never won a state championship .. but we should have.

That experience of playing on such a talented team taught me the value of being a good teammate even though I wasn't a starter. It was my job to imitate the other teams' RB1 in practice all week.. At the end of the season the defense to a man all thanked me because they said the toughest RB they had faced all season was yours truly. 8 guys off that defense played college ball.. Oh yeah, my little "challenge" of the coaches my junior year earned me a permanent seat in the coaches' doghouse my senior year. Well I may have been a bit of a bigmouth about a few other things too. But they bent over backwards not to play me.. and when they did put me in the game it was only to pass block.. Which was fine.. I had over 300 academic scholarship offers my senior year.. I didn't really need them to "showcase" me to go to college. But I stayed a good teammate.. that was important to me.. and I think it's important to Zeke.. and to Pollard as well. I think they both get it.. and simply try to go out and do whatever is asked of them to help the team win. Zeke vs Pollard is a fan or media creation. It doesn't exist between the guys..

LMAO.. what makes you think playing the dozens over the internet like we're in 5th grade is of any interest to me. What I said was that you make up ****.. which you do.. and I simply put it where **** goes.. In the toilet.. Let me know when you have anything of value to say..

Luuulz, go ahead, name it Ronald. What have I made up?

Did you wanna lie and say you never claimed you said Dak’s doctor was on the radio saying there was no ligament damage?

Yes or no?

Run.
