I didn't. I've seen what happens to 2nd RB's when they are given the majority of snaps.
CowboyRoy was wrong about a lot of things. Too bad he's no longer around to eat lots of crow. He was wrong about Tony Pollard, this Oline, Biadasz supposedly was going to make the Pro Bowl, the Cowboys would fare better without Zeke, etc.So did CowboyRoy.

That's a valid theory, and I suspect there's some truth to it.I didn't. I've seen what happens to 2nd RB's when they are given the majority of snaps.
It wore Barber down. It exposed Joe Randal.
There is a big difference between coming in fresh to a fatigued defense after it's been pummeled by a power back behind an aggressive O-line and coming in play #1 when the defense is fresh, motivated and inspired.
This FO dropped the ball not drafting a RB. Big time. And no Deuce doesn’t count. Pollard is a change of pace guy. Always has been. Even in college. They treated RB like they did WR last year. So expect a trade or FA pickup of a RB this off-season regardless how the season ends.I told countless posters Pollard wouldn’t be as good as a starter. He was a fan favorite and now some want Dowdle starting ahead of him.
There's also a big difference when you're being sent up the middle with crappy blocking.I didn't. I've seen what happens to 2nd RB's when they are given the majority of snaps.

Follow up question, "Will the playoffs be different "?
But that's not what was happening last year. It's not like they ran Zeke 20 times at the defense and then Pollard would come it for a big play. Zeke and Pollard were splitting reps all game and Pollard had the same impact early as he did late.I didn't. I've seen what happens to 2nd RB's when they are given the majority of snaps.

Plus Biadez sucks and Steele has been been a turnstile since coming back from his own injury. We seem to like rewarding injured players for past performance as if the injury never happened.To Pollard's defense, he doesn't exactly have an o-line that's healthy. Plus, Tyron Smith and Zack Martin are in their 30's, and Smith is constantly nursing injuries.
