Pollard > Felix JonesPollard is Felix Jones.
Pollard > Felix JonesPollard is Felix Jones.
It frustrates me how often a discussion about using Pollard turns into a full court defense of Zeke. We need both these guys to have a good running game. I just want see Pollard get more than 3 carries like he had in game one. He’s a different kind of weapon than Zeke.What his numbers really make clear is that he's great in space but not so great at pushing the pile. He's great in a tandem w/ a Z type.

Sorry but you got it backwards. Felix was better in the change up back role than Pollard has been so far. Felix averaged 8.9 ypc his rookie season. People here got excited when Pollard averaged 5..
Felix Jones' first two seasons:
carries yards avg TD long rec yards avg TD long KOR yards avg TD long
146 951 6.5 6 60 21 129 6.2 0 30 46 1112 24.3 1 90
Tony Pollard's first two seasons
187 890 4.75 6 44 43 300 6.9 2 30 46 1011 21.98 0 67
So Felix had a higher ypc on the ground, a slightly lower average per reception and a higher kick return average. Felix also had HIS career high game in that playoff win against the Eagles.. Pollard has not gotten the chance to enjoy any playoff success yet.
As I keep saying, there is no need to diss one player to uplift another. Pollard has been good in the change of pace back role. But Felix Jones was better.
Very frustrating. This is not an either or proposition. I like both as players.It frustrates me how often a discussion about using Pollard turns into a full court defense of Zeke.

There are some seriously ignorant poster on this site. Pollard isn't better than Zek, people need to hit a knee and thank god we have Zek. It's a long season and Zek will be at the top of his game when it's all said and done.
Emmit had very few big runs. You can look it up and it's quite obvious. He had 17career carries of over 40 yds.
Now, turn it around. Why did Belly keep bringing Blount back? He was definitely not Belly's type of player.
See RonnieT's posts on how Z is being given tougher carries.

This isn't 2018. Zeke is a shell of his Ohio State self. The best path forward is what we've been doing, funneling the offense through Dak's arm and giving Pollard and Zeke pretty much a 50/50 split in touches.
So I take this as a yes to both Zeke and Pollard should playa lot, lol.
His numbers show if you’re the back up and the defense focuses on the starter, you can sneak by the. From Time to time. Zeke ran fir one td and drew the attention of most of the defense on pollards so he gets the assist.

LOL.............Why would anyone focus on Zeke? The nonsense that you apologists come up with is hilarious.
-Pollard does well because of Zeke
-Zeke gets the tough carries and Pollard gets the easy carries
-Zeke can only do well if he gets 30 carries a game
-Pollard is the Troy Hambrick syndrome
yada yada yada...................Some of us have been telling you how good Pollard was for 2 years now. None of you would listen. Zeke was the best RB in the NFL...............yada yada yada.
Now that Pollard is getting more opportunities he is proving you all wrong. And its quite clear that Zeke's better days are behind him and he isnt close to top 5 or even top 10 RB's in the NFL.
Zeke at this point is just struggling to prove he is better than Pollard.
I'm not a Zeke guy. What now?LOL.............so Zeke gets tough carries and Pollard gets easy carries? Its amazing the desperate lengths you Zeke guys will go to defend your hero.
How do you get a tough carry?
Ask opposing DC's. They do.LOL.............Why would anyone focus on Zeke? The nonsense that you apologists come up with is hilarious.

I am not sure it even needs to be argued anymore. For what Jerry is paying Zeke, it's pretty obvious Pollard should be getting a good % of that paycheck. Everyone knows it. At least Zeke's dogs are fed well. Maybe they won't kill his tree-trimmers because they aren't starved. So there is some good in it. LOL!!!

You didn't notice or respond to the zeke hate comments...lol sortaIt frustrates me how often a discussion about using Pollard turns into a full court defense of Zeke.
