His vision looks great. Even in pop warner the best backs look for openings and are able to be patient and burst when a hole opens up. Sounds simple, but it's pretty rare for a rookie.

Do you remember Zeke's first game? He wasn't waiting for anything to develop, he tried to run right up the hole the play called for. The first game I was like.. oh boy, hope he slows it down a bit. I think he got like 50 yards. Then he started waiting... and obviously the rest is history. Pollard actually does look like he has a great chance to be a solid back. Obviously I have no misconceptions of him being Zeke. But, he does have some good movement.

This kid wasn't the starter in college was he? Who was in front of him? I don't watch college ball.

I don't watch a ton of college football either. Really only the Utes and other pac 12 games, i know he wasn't a starter in college, but he seems like a perfect compliment to Zeke. Zeke is a talent that doesn't come around very often. Make no mistake we need him, but Pollard can hold it down until the Cowboys get Zeke signed. When that happens we will have a monster of a running game.

Good post.

The starting RB who Tony Pollard backed up at Memphis was Darrell Henderson.

I believe the Cowboys picked wisely since Tony Pollard has the smarts and skills to run very well with the ball and can take it to the house on any play. Plus, Pollard has low miles on his tires which bodes well for duration now with the Cowboys. If Tony Pollard can add an extra 10 pounds of muscle to his 6 foot 210 pound frame, I think he will be capable of easily handling 20+ carries every single game.

Thanks, I see he is with the Rams.... Henderson I mean.

He was picked in the 3rd round... interesting how closely they were picked.

Also... yeah i saw his weight. I was thinking the guy might get folded like a lawn chair... But, you can see he has some skills. Makes me wonder how smart their coach was there lol.

Its a good thing to have as much talent as we do and I hope that we don’t lose someone like a Devon Smith but I think if this thing does not play out soon we’re going to need to carry 4 backs instead of 3 or 5 instead of 4 to make up for zeke not showing

Pollards body can’t handle the punishments that zekes can. It will need to be done by commitee

I think the cowboys have been more than fair with their offer
