LOL........who is playing games now? Here is what I posted. I even dummied down the reading with highlights:
Here’s what Sam Monson wrote recently for Pro Football Focus after pointing out
Pollard as the Cowboys’ most underrated player …
“The Dallas Cowboys are in a tough spot. By handing Ezekiel Elliott the contract they did, it is very difficult for them to reduce his role to the level it should be based on how Pollard has performed when given the opportunity.
Since being drafted, Pollard is tied with Derrick Henry for the best yards after contact average in the league (4.0) and tied with Nick Chubb for the best broken tackle rate (0.25).”
There’s an argument to be made that Pollard is simply the perfect complement to Elliott rather than the better overall running back. T
ony is the more dynamic runner at this point in Zeke’s career, with the latter being more of a power back now than a home run threat.
Still, the numbers bear out that Pollard deserves to carry more of the load in Dallas. That’s despite Elliott’s contract that’s scheduled to make a
$13.7 million-sized dent in the team’s salary cap in 2021 according to spotrac.com.
