I think he will do a good job of blocking.
I think he will have a slow start, but will find some huge gaps as the season wears on.
He will NOT lead the league in rushing.

Assuming there is a season this year, i'd expect him to lead the nfl in rushing or be at the top as he's done every year

Do you think he will improve and overall offer a better season than 19 or do you think he will regress even further?

I personally hope he goes back towards being more physical and agressive.

Cowboys are going to be playing a lot with the lead this year and will be much less predictable.

I think Zeke is more effective but probably with less touches. I see a more efficient, bigger play guy that benefits from the incredible passing game. Better in the screen game.

I think he'll do even better than last year. The Cowboys have a better OL and better group of receivers, which should reduce the number of 8-man fronts.

Better Oline? You mean without Frederick?

I said this in another thread: he'll lead the league in rushing this year.

All the haters will still complain he is paid too much but at least he earned some of the money and then propose some ridiculous trade like Zeke for three defensive starters and a second rounder.

There is absolutely no reason whatsoever why Zeke shouldn't lead the NFL in just about EVERY stat for a RB.

If he gets over 300 carries like he usually does he should have over 2200 yards combined and 20 TD's.

However, I think MM is going to find at some point how much of a weapon Pollard is. Pollard is actually the prototype for a MM back. Can do it all, screen, pass catching, big play back he can move all over the place.

Reality is that if this Oline can block well...…….if they can be a top 5 Oline this year then this offense should be breaking records. All time NFL records. Its THAT good.

WR's are off the charts and have EVERYTHING you could ever want in WR's. The combo thunder and lightning of Zeke and Pollard is PERFECT. Dak is a dual threat QB that can make big plays and is entering the prime of his career coming off his best season.

This offense should be unstoppable. With MM at the helm with Moore in his 2nd year, there should be no stopping them.

I predict he will be hanging out at strip clubs and probably eating BBQ although he may not be eating his BBQ at a strip club.

Hopefully Zeke isn't tapping out on crucial plays." hey coach give me one". Hopefully this coaching staff is a bit more creative in how they do things

1325 rushing
475 receiving
12 total TDs

So 1800 yards total.


I think if everyone plays the same number of games, Barkley might surpass McCaffery in total yards this year.
McCaffery (2350) had about 600 more yards than Zeke last year. I expect that gap to shrink a little this year. Zeke up a little nad CMC down a bit more, to say, 2100
But Barkley might have a huge year if he plays 16 games.

Don't think he will be a problem on offense, now if he is around 1600 plus yards rushing along with whatever he catches out of the backfield, we should be cooking with Crisco.

All I want see is overall less touches, but waaaaaayyyyy more Draw plays. If our passing game is quick and potent, we should be able to hit the over eager opposing dline with draws left and right for significant gains.

Getting this HC and keeping this OC and taking that WR in the 1st do not bode well for Elliott. Even when McC had a power back like Bennett or Levins, he preferred his backs that make more moves in the field and that's not Elliott. He also wants his RB's to be hybrid WR's and even converted a WR to RB.

The other consideration is will this be a D you can play power run game and clock control or will the offense have to get close to 30 to compete? This is not a power offense, it is an attack offense with those WR's the best weapons. Elliott will be OK but he will not be the top back and may not even be top 5 in rushing but he might be in all purpose yards.

Booger didn't hire this HC and this HC didn't ask this OC to stay to feature a RB.
