Pollard should not be a starter

Against a defensive front like Washington's if a guy averages 3 yd of carry he's done a good job. Zeke can have consistent success against teams like Tampa Bay and Washington...I don't think Pollard can.

This post is the opposite of every thought I've seen from the armchair gms over the last 4 weeks. My head in the clouds 2 cents.

-Pollard dominated last week, don't remind me what happened this week because it doesn't matter.
-Rush is probably the next Tom Brady. Did you see him light up the Football Team for 400 passing yards and 4tds? The stats may not read that but my eye test says that's exactly what happened.
-Cooper is a whiner and dissappears, oh nevermind he's actually the best WR in the NFL all he needed was a competent QB to bring out the best in him.
-Did Gallup even play today? He only had 2 catches, while Noah Brown who costs 10 million less had 3.

Gallups TD didn't matter? first game back. 8 months post ACL surgery, = way too soon as they said in here, it had an impact..
pollard 2 games this year played a giant TURD I mean 8 yards??? LMAO game 1 1.7 YPC that's starter? NO what zeke did this game with the same DL all over him got 50 yards on the ground and 40 as catcher. just saying if we can point that out against Zeke pollard will get his critique, hes not immune to criticism is he Zeke haters seem to point out his bad plays weekly. Pollard disappeared 2 of 4 games.

coppers not Brady you just got out on the ignore list for this. worst comp EVER, dont remember coop being ion 9 SBS and sought after in FAS he was put on the PS 5 times and never picked up , when he went to the Giants they cut him.

Hes NICK FOLes has some good games with one team he will fail as fulltime starter in any other offense he hasnt been in 6 years LOL yes Nick foles isnt bad comp. foles last his job in philly twice when he eft he failed everywhere else. oh wait maybe Matt castle is better comp one year wonder 11-5 never did squat elsewhere..yup that it Coper rush is matt castle, stay backup bud, longer career,

?

they didnt run block worth a crap for zeke either

and im not pollard vs zeke being that Zeke is my favorite player
zekes stats were at LEAST not an embarrassment. pollard 8 yards zeke 50 plus 40 in the air thats my point that 2 games game one zeke had 5.1 YPC pollard 1.7 be sure i will remind the zeke haters to stop the comps or i will be there to point out many bad games by Polard.

there’s some truth to that. Funny thing is Zeke has never been a big break-tackle guy like Jonathan Taylor or even Deebo. He is a momentum guy due to his low center of gravity and his size. He carries those arm tackles forward.

They tried several tosses to Pollard to the outside but it was stuffed every time. I'm a bit concerned about the run blocking. If the opposing defense doesn't sit on the run, those passes become way more difficult.


Funny how the outside running game disappeared when Schultz comes back.. I think they need to roll with the rookies to keep the running game effective. The Washington DTs won the line scrimmage handily today.. Needed to get outside but couldn't do it because our outside blocking was non-existent.

The RBs were what they are.
When the OL blocks well, Pollard is the man!
When the OL blocks poorly, Zeke is the best option and he runs hard to get 2-4 yards.
Today, the OL pretty much sucked in my opinion.
not true maybe at times BUT
.
explain 5.1 YPC for zeke game 1 , last week close to 5, and today at least made Wahington stay stacked. Last year first 8 games 5.2 YPC the constantly nitpicking isn't going to work..Zeke always been zeke hes like ES22 you must feed him and just use him all game or its a waste.

I like the split carries but pointing out Zekes far from what most haters keep saying.

Schultz is steadily losing playing time if i were coach, the other 2 are just paying better.

Our starter i mean 2 games under 20 yards and under 2 YPC that the makings iof true blue chip starter :))

this is what i know

Daks>Rush I luv what rush is doi gits not enough if an NFL game becomes a shootout not that guy,
Elliott is the better starter > Pollard but both are needed they complement each other.
Gallup is underrated and Lamb can be a #1

just saying let tap the brakes, stay real we will be Better when those guys all stay together.
I think we really have a potential "bell cow " RB on the practice squad.

the line didnt run block worth a crap today

That's what happens when there is no continuity on OL.

The rotation of McGovern/Farniok with Peters at LG is moronic to the nth order.

Philbin needs to be fired already.

And let's just see Peters at LT and Tyler at LG just ONCE.

Even if it's just in practice.

How many times in the last two seasons have we seen Dalton miss a block and our rb get taken down behind the LOS. I don’t know if they’re asking too much of him or he is just a poor blocker.

Zeke absolutely sucks. Really, he sucks. did he even get 3 ypc? Pollard didnt even get enough carries to be judged at all.

Dalton isnt a good blocker like at all...i like him as a split end but asking him to block is almost asking for a holding call

Man I've been getting bashed and called a zeke Homer for saying this. Pollard has really good games AND is a great Change of pace guy but he's not the guy to start and get beat up all game and stick his nose in to block

they are a great 1-2 punch, he is a great change of pace back, outside of GB and maybe Browns and Jags we are next ..top 5 running back duo. it's a nice marriage back there when KM finally figured out some balance between the two.

Nah you keep Tyler at LT i keep telling you that,, they do need to settle on a LG for sure. I say inset peters and not look back as against the rams and eagles we need his experience.

even martin looked bad that DL came to play and played rough,.they should not and will not switch 73, sorry.
