People can argue whether he's a bell cow or whether he's good in protection but there's no denying, the guy provides juice. I love to watch him with the ball in his hands, he definitely has the speed and a little more pop than people might expect, I've seen him break a tackle or two. I'm glad we have him in our backfield.
Few things on Baldy’s breakdown.
- The clip highlighting Schultz’s nice block is what is maddening about. In the 2nd quarter there was a run play to the left near our goal line. The Cowboys had it blocked up well with nothing but daylight for at least 5-6 yards. All Schultz had to do was maintain his block on the rookie Ojulari. Instead, Ojulari flings Schultz off, sheds him and makes the tackle.
- On the last clip with Pollard taking it outside to the right….Zeke doesn’t make that play even when healthy. He would have gotten chased down on the backside.
That’s cool and all but zeke is still here this year and next. Enjoy the fact we have both and hopefully they are both healthy for the post season. If so we have a really good chance at making a run.
It's gotten to the point losing him next season would be a big blow. He's a difference maker when he's out there. How you find a way to pay him and at what number is far beyond me.
You would think the people who Pom Pom and defend everything Dak does would be begging for more Pollard because once we finally start running all over teams and they have to change coverages then Dak is going to start flinging the football again.
Instead we’re just wasting plays Zeke.
Regardless of who ppl think is better it’s always fascinating to me when ppl defend certain players endlessly in spite of evidence and contact vs others.
zeke vs dlaw as a current example.
I think McCarthy is an absolute dunce in terms of clock and game management, which is effectively what a head coach is responsible for. That said, I give him credit for his part in making personnel decisions. I’ll give him a ton of credit if he sees the light and features Pollard over Zeke.
Pollard is playing on one foot.
I’m all for giving Pollard more touches. Wish they would play them together more but I think Zeke needs to sit a game and rest. We never scored a TD on the drives Pollard started yesterday but that’s not his fault.
No! You can only be a fan of one RB. Also I think there's some type of rule on whether you can like Dak and Zeke at the same time. Not sure on Coop and CD.
aka the cowboy roy rule. also no offense to pollard, because he’s been awesome, but that video seemed like a blocking celebration lol.
Exactly!!I'm a weirdo, I just pretty much like most of our players. I even root for them.
I think it is hard because they are different backs and work well together. I think it is hard when Zeke is playing on one leg. What I did love was them 1-2 during that run for the first half of the season.. unstoppable combination out of the backfield.
Still believe that Moore doesn't know how to scheme or call a run game and that hurts both our RBs.
From what we have seen and what we are told.. it seems they both get along and actually enjoying working together.. so I don't see why you wouldn't just ride them both to a SB.
