Twitter: Zeke is a progress stopper. Pollard should be the starter

[zeke21]

Completely different backs.. Zeke is better between the tackles and to get tough yards.. pollard has absolutely got a burst that can turn runs into big gains.

Glad we have both and very very glad to see them BOTH used this game! We look much better when we run the ball!!!

The two are actually the perfect compliment. Its just needs to be more 50/50 like it was today.

Zeke the 90 million dollar full back

 

[OldJarhead]

Kyle Brandt (along with everyone on that show) is an idiot.

I loved the mix of Zeke/Pollard today. I know many scream about him being the #1 guy but this sort of balance is good for the offense and gives Pollard more opportunities to stretch plays. People assume 10 more carries = 10 more explosive plays but that usually isn't the case.

 

[TwentyOne]

WOW. After 2 years the mainstream twitter accounts get it too.

Hats to you.

Pollard is great in the role he has now. I like the combo with Zeke.13 carries is a good load for him.

 

[Howboutdemcowboys31]

Today was perfect it was about a 50/50 time share. We need Zeke to punish guys and Pollard to torch said punished guys

If Pollard was the featured back he wouldn't be as nearly as successful. The term change of pace back is deemed for a reason

At no point in college or the pros has he been able to be an every down RB. He is doing great with the way they are using him now.

Say it again, I don't think they heard you.

 

[Daillest88]

I love pollard and for some reason I thought he was in his 4th year, but when zeke is out there . Please look at the defense . It’s different. Pollard really has that burst tho. Oh and he’s better than Gibson lol

 

[Vanilla2]

So you want to replace Dak with Pollard not a good idea honest

They’d never see the wildcat coming.

 

[Risen Star]

I was not an Elliott fan. This is the first season I actually appreciate him. I think he’s had the best two games of his career in my opinion. He’s turned into a total football player.

LOL

I like Pollard he does what a backup is supposed to do. But he is in no way better than Zeke

Troy Hambrick rings a bell….

Lol he’s way better than ham rock. Pollard for a smaller guys has power, but if he was the feature back it would definitely be different

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

They were masterful splitting carries and people conclude the OP because they are counting Zeke's pockets. smh

That is a tabloid take.

 

[wecasa]

Seen this before with Julius Jones and Marion barber. Then barber and Felix Jones. Ran the tracks off of Murray. Now we have zeke and pollard. Use. Them. Both. As. Is. Zeke is woefully overpaid. But it is what it is. Everytkme the back up becomes the feature back, the defense adjusts and stops it.

He almost scored before half on that pitch from CeeDee . Crazy play

Pollard would have scored.
