Video: Destroying the myth that Tony Pollard can't block

[Typhus]

Never understand why so many people here deal in extremes. Has to be either can't block, or can block -- not that he blocks, just not as well as Zeke.

Its kind of crazy isnt it?

Cool, a couple of plays proving Pollard can block. Which has nothing to do with being better than Elliott. Both are true. The constant driving hatred in an illness.

If KM ever expects this offense to entertain being good enough status, than Pollard probably never has to worry about blocking assignments.
Blocking is a Dallas thing.
All hands on Dak.

But I didn’t say that I may use it going forward again thanks

we argue probably because guys like you and Roy overreact to both sides of argument and to a lesser extent Ronnie.

oh no don’t say anything bout my zeke. He ran all over bama in 2014 and the league in 16.

too bad he looks like a shell of his former self. I hope because he’s in the best shape of his life we’ll see a different zeke.

Come September I’ll root for him because he wears the star because on Sunday that’s what it’s about but I won’t lose a second of sleep when he’s elsewhere

Never said ya couldnt say anything bad about zeke. You know better than this. Not sure why yoyd make up this lie.

Im on record over and over if you read all my posts like you claim. Didnt like the hold out. Didnt like the contract. Didnt like him coming in fat. Also have called for more pollard and better scheme for both.

What i have done is object to people like you predicting and hoping for zekes demise. Just to be rid of him. Im not even convinced you root for him...despite your claim.

Bottom line is we are better when zeke is better. Sorry that twists your ohio state hating panties but its true. Its also true he cant do it alone.... with an eft up line and run hating coaches.

Even tony suffers from these idiot exec and coaching malfeasance.
Watch daks highlights. Tell me how many times zeke blocks. You wont.

If its true that zeke is the better blocker and more durable in the long run.....then that is better for pollard, dak....and cowboys.

Poor zeke...you guys stomp him in the dirt for it.

Last season was the first time Pollard carried the ball over 100 times in a season, including college. He's never been asked to carry the load. Why not? Has every coach he's ever had been wrong? Maybe he's not built for it?

As for blocking, it's not that he can't do it. He just doesn't do it as well as Zeke. Pollard is a great complimentary back. Unfortunately, the Cowboys lead back isn't what he used to be. That's why these conversations take place.

Being able to block and being a really good blocker is not the same thing
Not sure I want my most explosive player blocking 10-12 snaps a game anyway
I want him with the ball in his hands

 

[CowboyRoy]

Cory Clement had some carries against Philly. Ito Smith even had a couple of carries. So why play those guys in place of Pollard?

Well what did they tell you in that RB meeting you went to?

 

[CowboyRoy]

You're the only one who has a problem with guys hitting milestones. As long as they don't get hurt I am 100% fine with it. You wanna be mad about it, knock yourself out. And I don't know how they taught you math but when I was learning decimals anything less that .5 was rounded down. So in order for it to be "almost 4 quarters" it would have had to reach 3.5 quarters played. In actual fact Zeke played less than 3 quarters therefore the statement that he played "almost 4 quarters" is patently false as was the statement that "the Cowboys were up by 20." But I'm not wasting any more time with someone who is either blatantly intellectually dishonest or completely detached from reality.

Peace out homes.

Knock yourself out? The guy has an injured knee and he has a playoff game in 6 days and could use the rest. And he's out there taking 20 carries so he can get 86 yards? LOL

No peace until Zeke is gone homes.

lol I ain’t going back and forth with you bout how I spend my sundays you are literally in every frikken zeke thread there is and the entire board knows how unstable you are when it comes to him.
Talk about pantries getting n a bunch all Roy has to is throw out the worm and reel you in lol.

I hate OSU there’s no denying that.

In terms of zekes blocking it is better than TP but they both are effective not sure what you’re getting at. I remember when he was drafted how wonderful he was out out of backfield too. Had to have him at 4

Jerry is a dummy

well maybe I do but it’s not worth the argument you bn a zeke nut hugger and all

I do agree this organization has done no one any favors outside of contract caving

Just cant win with ya can i? Alright....so be it.

I predict the next qb we draft will be from ohio state in a year or two.

The played a hurt Zeke...Fact. They didn't play a hurt Pollard...Fact. I'm not making claims here bud.

Why did the Cowboys play their starters at all? They could have rested everyone. But they only held out one major contributor in that game... Pollard.

@CowboyRoy has been saying they only gave Zeke that many carries because they wanted him to get 1,000 for the season. Which could be true. I've been saying the reason they gave Zeke so many carries is because Pollard sat out and they wanted to roll into the playoffs with momentum on their side. So it's been a back and forth between CowboyRoy and myself. My initial post in this thread was intended for him. He has his opinions about the situation and I have mine.

So I'm not claiming they played a hurt Zeke to rest Pollard. They played their starters, but held Pollard out. That's not a claim, that's a fact. But like I said it's been a little tit for tat between CowboyRoy and myself. But the both of us have never attacked one another because we see things different from the other. Then here you come, jumping in on our little back and forth.....WITH YOUR ATTACK ON ME.

So just leave it be dude. CowboyRoy knew what I was trying to say and who I was talking too. Besides how hurt could a player be if he carried the ball 18 times for 87 yards? That's 4.8 a carry.

Buddy, its a fact.................they did the same thing with Dak. They wanted Dak to get the Cowboys all time TD passing record at 37. Took Dak out immediately after that he got the record and took Zeke out one carry after he went over 1000.

This is the "country club" atmosphere that everyone is talking about. When personal milestones become more important than team success.

When the players are running the show and getting their coaches to leave them in for personal gain.

Buddy they played most of the starters because Dak was in there getting his own milestone and zeke needed to get his. Your not putting backup lineman out there with Dak. And Pollard didnt play because Zeke was getting his record! Why is that so hard for you to grasp? Is it that you dont want to believe it?

It has everything to do with being better....if you root for the team over players.

If its true that zeke is the better blocker and more durable in the long run.....then that is better for pollard, dak....and cowboys.

Poor zeke...you guys stomp him in the dirt for it.

I misspoke, Pollard can block, Elliott is a better blocker.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

I see. Thank you for clearing your position.

Its not a knock on tony. Hes good we love him. We just need zekes skill and body for that right now. Along with having coaches that know what tp do with tony..

I don't get why anyone would trash either. It's the front office/staff that do the drafting, contracts and roster. We need both guys healthy.

let’s hope not

That was a good qb right there. Almost not a buckeye.....then he woulda been....right.
Another case of playing an injured qb.....he had a bad game and we pooped the bed.

tOSU qbs on the nfl? Im embarrased. We suck. Ever other position rocks. I dunno. Bound to break one sooner or later.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

There's nothing Tony Pollard can't do.

Special talent.

He hasnt proven to be a work horse #1 ever in nfl or ncaa. Injured himself in limited backup role. Not sure where you are getting you info.
Notsaying he cant. Just advise caution. Both him and dak....could be at risk.

There we go.....truth. we should unite against our staff for messing up the both of them. We are blessed at rb.
