Moore knows all this,hell this was the default mode for Pollard in Memphis where they played 2 RBs on the field at most times.
CR is a troll and EE hater we all know this.. EE is a new era version of Emmitt and doesnt need to pulled off the field.. Roy doesnt see it but we all know ES was not a big play burst explosive player, he was volume guy that moved the chains and was always available ie a workhorse who doesnt get hurt..Zeke is every bit the workhorse RB that Emmitt was.
But if people like you were allowed to decide it back then Emmitt Smith would not be the all time leading rusher today and the Cowboys almost certainly wouldn't have had as much success in that decade.
If you're scared get a dog. This is a man's game.
First of all. Ezekiel Elliott takes himself out of the game more times than I'm comfortable with. I don't know why they're not using the rookie. As often as I think they should I don't care about rushing records I care about winning football games. I thought they would use Elliott more in the red zone book. Split The Running methodically getting the ball downfield. I still don't think this offense of coordinator found any kind of consistent game planCR is a troll and EE hater we all know this..

They are very similar running styles and EE is even a bit more athletic..
People are blinded by the 90s teams and can’t see talent and skill in the current players because of the SB drought but its there..
Doesnt mean i dont want to see more of pollard but EE is fine , hes not holding anyone or the team back,, our issues are more of scheme, poor coaching and defense at times...
And it probably should. Change week-to-week. Depending on our opponent I'm just not sure that that's what's happening I totally can't stand this coaching scheme staff or any of itI won’t be too hard on them about Pollard. They need to figure out what to do with Cobb, Austin, Gallup and Zeke first. Seems like it changes from week to week.
Pollard had 4 receptions through the first 3 games of the season but hasn't been targeted in the passing game since then.
With Zeke obviously being the work horse back in this running game I really thought that Pollard would
have room to expand his role in this Kellen Moore scheme in a "Moore" receiving option out of the back field, motioned wide, different look on short curls and screens, etc, all that good Ole Boise state wide open creativity.
After seeing 4 targets through the first 3 games it seems as though the page has been removed from that part of the play book, but Im hoping that Kellen took the time to re visit the potential that Pollard brings in that limited role during this bye week time.
Pollard has an extremely high ceiling, and I realize the kid is a rookie, but he has done nothing but positive every time that he has been given an opportunity.
Its a long season and I want to see Zeke healthy and running strong still in December, and nobody is making a claim that Pollard even needs to carve out a 50 percent role, but Pollard can help keep Zeke fresh a bit, and is deserving of an expanded role.
I mean sometimes it will change but I think they should stick to their gameplay and identity from week to week regardless of opponent.And it probably should. Change week-to-week.

So you would take Zeke over Emmitt?

Agreed. Can you imagine the 2 RB sets and plays we could run with Zeke and Pollard on the field? They’re both different RB’s as well. Zeke is more if a power, grinder back (who is also great at blocking), while Pollard reminds me of a lite version of Kamara. Small and slippery, but fast. I wish we’d run them like the Saints ran Kamara and Ingram back in NO.
Why aren’t we running more sets like these? I’m honestly not sure.
Exactly. Where is Pollard in the pecking order...Each touch by one guy means less touched by another
I love the spark pollard can bring but it’s a tough balancing act
Zeke carries are down so it’s not like we are running him more taking those touches
Just rewatched the Eagles game. There were multiple plays where Pollard and Zeke were both in the backfield. Also, the first TD to Austin was set up by a fake to Pollard.
Time denotes time into the video:
13:48 - 2 back set
Next play - Fake to Pollard, TD flick to Austin
35:50 - 2 back set, Day sacked with Pollard out in the flat
60:00 - 2 back set
60:19:57 - Pollard in motion, Dak sacked

That's college gimmick...won't work in the NFL as well as collegeMoore knows all this,hell this was the default mode for Pollard in Memphis where they played 2 RBs on the field at most times.
Rod Smith !!??We waste talent. First Rod Smith and now Tony Pollard. It's criminal.
