Agree 1000%.........for the life of me, I can't understand why we haven't seen more of him and Zeke in various packages on the field together. That's on MM and KM......



that's on the OC and Owner who insists his highest paid RB get touches to justify his contract.

So has it hit anyone that maybe Pollard is as good as he is because of the limited touches he gets?
I think there is some truth to that, but that isn't the whole explanation. Not every RB tat gets a similar amount of touches performs as well as Pollard. To me Pollard has earned at least something close to an even split with Zeke.

Pollard is underused and misused. Don't care if you view Pollard as a cop RB he should've played more due to Zeke being injured.

I think Pollard’s foot injury kept him from getting more touches even with Zeke’s injury. I think he had the same injury that Amari has had?

we are currently doing it lol
Yeah, not really. I do think it was insane to not rest Elliott a game or two, but talent-wise Pollard isn't an every down back. I know that translates to hating, but whatever.
Personally, I would have entertained a different backfield altogether.

no he isnt an every down back but hes a better 1st and 2nd down back at this point and for the last few years. I dont want him to be the every down back just get more carries,. RB's are a dime a dozen and we could replace both of them in draft IMO.

Its the line that is the most important element

He's definitely earned more touches. At the very least, he's earned the opportunity to prove he can handle more. That said, I agree that his performance benefits from not being a workhorse.

Pollard and zeke should be used like Kamara and Ingram but we have Moore abd they had Payton
If you think that’s the reason, you haven’t paid attention to the Cowboys in 30 years.

Zeke is the star with the big contract. There is a 99.5% chance the directive to keep him the #1 back is coming from ownership.

Thisvis a microcosm of why no one thinks a family business can compete with real NFL teams. Honestly how competitive the Cowboys are is impressive concerning the restraints they have to work with.

Jerry is dictating along with booger, who gets to start at rb. Listening to Mike Fisher leaves little doubt on this fact.

Mike Fisher said Pollard isn't the answer and Zeke will be in the same role. Dude just repeats everything Jerry and Stephen say about him. Again, it comes back to culture in the media in Dallas. They never do actual journalism and speak truth. I wonder if Fish actually believes his own Bs
Yet some CZers never fail to post whatever he puts out.
