I couldn't figure out why we hardly saw Pollard against the 49ers, especially with all the buzz around the guy.
Then I realized it's just a tactic to get Zeke back here before the season starts by telling the world that Pollard is the next 22. Jerry declares him capable of carrying the load...based off training camp. We hear about how he is the steal of the draft. Then he's limited in the first preseason game like he's a proven vet. I don't buy the hoopla (yet), so I highly doubt this would concern Zeke or his agent.
Do you think we will see Pollard play beyond the starting offense at all this preseason? I'm thinking that we will not, unless Zeke is on the sideline, and that seems like a disservice to Pollard. You go out and tell Cowboy Nation the guy is great, then don't give him much preseason action, then expect him to hit the regular season at full speed with everyone ready to crown him or run him off after the first game. Could be setting this kid up for failure right out of the gate.
