A lot of people saying this is common. Wonder why I never noticed before. Maybe the drives don't usually last very long when he out? Maybe I'm just getting forgetful with age? Maybe I just never really cared who was carrying the ball enough to notice?
His fumble and
You haven't noticed a difference in his style and production? Perhaps the OL just isn't run blocking like they used to......

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say he wasn't benched.
Are you trying to look foolish? Nobody said or suggested or implied that Elliott has forgotten how to run the football. Teams have loaded the box against him since his rookie season but he still led the league in rushing 2 out of 3 years. I've said it many times that the line is not the same line he had in 2016 and has been banged up this season. On the other hand with that same line Pollard has come in and gained more yards per rush than Elliott. So why has Elliott not produced but Pollard has? Also it's a telling thing for me that on an important 2 point conversion yesterday it was Pollard who was in there and ran it in and Not Elliott.
.
We needed a spark - guess Stevie Wonder Garrett could even see that.I didn't get to watch the game but followed the play by play on NFL.COM. I was surprised Pollard was in so early in the game.
I'll say it....EzE isn't running like he's been running for the past three years. He puts zero effort in his runs, and he seems surprised when he actually isn't tackled at the line.You are trying too hard. Zeke took himself out on the two point conversion because he was gassed. So if you aren’t saying he forgot how to run the football and aren’t suggesting he isn’t playing hard what do you think it IS?
Love the enthusiasm but Pollards not better than Zeke lol
You are trying too hard. Zeke took himself out on the two point conversion because he was gassed. So if you aren’t saying he forgot how to run the football and aren’t suggesting he isn’t playing hard what do you think it IS?
As stated above.... everyone's body language said "21's getting punished.". EzE was a different RB upon his return.
benched? Jerry won't allow it and the rest of the staff unable to make decision with out his approval.
but as it has been mentioned they do that often.
Coming from a holdout offseason with zero camp, we can’t pretend a 4.2 ypc is bad. Pollards .5 higher is coming off such a smaller sample it can’t be compared.This season Elliott hasn't lit the world on fire and has a 4.2 APC and Pollard has a 4.7 APC. The telling sign for me was on the crucial 2 point conversion yesterday it was Pollard out there and got the carry for the conversion and Elliott was on the sidelines.
.
Well-deserved “benching” if that’s what happened.
Pollard deserves more touches. Zeke has run like a total scrub in consecutive games now.
Have you for once looked at the performance of our overpriced o line. Running backs are worthless without a line just like Qb's can't ascend without a good WR corps.
What a stupid thread
I respect your point of view however Jerry is too much in the spotlight .He is casting a big shadow over everyone else.we did change coaches change players and the team still mediocre at its best. At some point the owner has to be blamed.It's management decision making by committee and Jerry is the tie breaker. He doesn't work the hours the coaches do. He is either promoting the team and being the spokesperson. He even isn't a full fledged GM more of a figurehead but hey he is the owner. Stephen Jones and Will McClay are the defacto GMs. I guess Robert Kraft Patriots owner is a meddler since he recently stated he was trying to get Gronkowski back. What nerve bypassing the GM and head coach Bill Belichik. Doesn't Kraft have enough on his plate including soliciting sex at massage parlors?
