We just had a lot of chitchat on Pollard in a thread. So here's AKOYE Media's breakdown of Pollard. He has very high expectations.

This is good to hear! I feel like if Zeke gets some help he would be more effective and if this kid turns out to be a playmaker that would be really big. Akoye keeps comparing him to Kamara but lets hope this offense uses him downfield like Kamara.
How true. Witten was allowed to be a progress stopper by the other two musketeers, tony and Garrett. Last year was the first time any te's on this team showed improvement in a decade. And conspicuously witten wasn't here.I can't help but to think that he stole Kamara's name from Stephen Jones saying it first.
The most important thing he said was qualifying his statement by saying it's depends on the creativity of the Cowboys coaching staff. If Pollard is what some people think, and this was Kellen Moore's guy on draft day, the onus is now on Moore to use him.
Otherwise, it's like those perpetually wasted second round picks on TE's who seldom played. And a waste of resources.

Moore needed a Tony Pollard for his offense to work properly, now if Pollard is not utilized properly, then promoting Moore to OC was in title alone, and will be a wasted opportunity.I can't blame Witten for being as great as he was, I'm grateful for that. But I can and do blame an organization and coaches that continued to try to implement a two-TE offense for years and failed time and time again.
When you use a second rounder on a player, you're committing to playing him, and this team never did. And you can't blame a player for failing when they never truly get the opportunity to succeed. Fasano and Bennett showed they could play in the NFL and did elsewhere with more opportunities. That shows the talent was there. Escobar was simply a huge miss, and it will be forever known that they drafted him ahead of Travis Kelce.
The consensus opinions say that Pollard was overdrafted and could have been had later. Now the onus is on the Cowboys to show that they were right to draft him when and where they did, and that means getting him on the field and using him. For much more than just kickoff returns, which have been phased out by the league. That's why I laugh whenever it's mentioned with his name. If you drafted him for that? You're an idiot that doesn't know the NFL game, like when we drafted David Bueller because he had a strong kickoff leg when the league moved the kickoff forward and it didn't matter.

I don't see that happening, I believe this franchise has decided whole heartedly ,that they are all in offensively with Kellen Moore, and Pollard will be utilized and a very dangerous weapon. Players fit a system,, the question will be if this franchise allows that much accountability to KM in his first year as OC.
I'm a big fan of Pollard but the guy doing the video said that Pollard is more valuable than Zeke...
The guy struggles a little as a speaker, so surely he just fumbled what he was trying to say. Either that or he’s an idiot.
He didn’t stumble. Just thinks Pollard is more valuable than Zeke because ‘he can do more.’
I hope you're right, but I've heard chatter like this time and time again and the results have never lived up to the huge. You can go back to the drafting if Fasano and the two TE offense that never materialized for years, to Lance Dunbar being the next big thing gadget guy, to the talk of Tavon Austin and the "20 touches" that Stephen Jones talked about that never came close to happening.
I've reached the point of "show me, don't tell me".
This was the same guy who did a video hyping Olawale, who got like four touches all season. Not his fault I guess that the staff couldn't figure out how to use him.
