You can keep wording things however you need, but you are guessing on Pollard. He's not an every down / fulltime RB. He never was. Even if you want it.

Zeke’s not anymore either. 2 years of jag and injuries. Pollard should’ve taken away significant touches from Zeke. Your way failed.

Im not sure where you get that from. If there is a hole, he hits it and hits it fast. Stats show he breaks more tackles and makes more people miss then Zeke.
I watch him. He's not great at it. He doesn't break tackles in the short game.

I'm a Pollard fan, but there's no benefit in giving him traits he doesn't have.

This isn't accurate.
Elliott had more yards, yards after contact and more broken tackles.

By the way, I'm not defending anyone, I think our entire run game is a joke.
Yeah, at this point I'm ready to move on from Zeke. However, we need an inside pounder to side Pollard.

Short game? Pollard doesnt run into people on purpose if thats what you mean. He runs away from people not at people. Just go watch his highlights films from last year, there are plenty of runs where he is busting up the middle.

Just watch this one game. He has every kind of run you could hope for and he does it well. Up the middle, off tackle, outside, moving the pile, making guys miss, churning the yards he does it all. The guy simply finds the holes wherever it is and hits it. Doesnt matter where it is.

Pollard was a WR in college and was a starter lol. However, we have seen NFL great RBs that didn't start in college nor the pros and went on to have great success as a starter later in their career. Like the Texas native Priest Holmes! Heck he was not even drafted.

"Just watch this one game" Then acting like you proved anything.

If anyone showed "just one game" for zeke you'd have a ship FIT.

Yes I know you have me on ignore. I know. The time I showed zeke's numbers...and you said "but volume"...and I showed you Emmitt's numbers....and "volume"...it was THEN you put me on "ignore" .
You act very tough and knowledgeable .....but you...are a coward and fake. Very immature and unbecoming....you put a person on :ignore: because they proved you wrong...just one time? What a snowflake sheesh/ .

Priest was one of the greatest. Clearly you are unaware. Youtube
The post I responded to was wrong, it had nothing to do with greatness, you just added that.
I'm arguing against your point suggesting "However, we have seen NFL great RBs that didn't start in college nor the pros and went on to have great success as a starter later in their career."
He started his 2nd season and was a 1,000+ RB and the bulk of his success was in the middle of his career, not the end. The end was awful. It doesn't matter why, those are just facts.

There are many parts that need a cleanse. Everything hinges on the O line and it was awful mid season and later in 2021. If we're going to point out that Prescott was under way too much pressure (which he clearly was) then the same should be said about the run. If you look at any highlights Pollard is running through gaping holes.

Every player can make good plays at something that isn't his strength.

Pollard isn't a great inside runner. It's not a secret.

The way the you suggested we do was a complete failure and made us a worse team. Pollard was just better than Zeke last year and it really wasn’t close. Duh.
A simple "Yes" would suffice.

I think thats more of an assumption. I havent seen him have problems running inside.

People are thinking about last year, when everyone was having trouble running up the middle because McGovern was getting beat up out there.

Its not like Zeke had any running room up the middle.

Pollard doesn't get enough credit for being a tough runner. Him and Zeke can make a really good combo if the coaches spread the carries just a little bit more.
