I think it’ll be hard to get zeke off the field once he gets going. He’s not gonna wanna be taken out. I do think pollard gets 6-8. Now if it’s a blowout. He’ll get more

I’m gonna say:

Zeke
11 carries 54 yards
2 receptions 18 yards

Pollard
6 carries 28 yards
3 receptions 32 yards

I think this O-line is gonna be dominant and we could ask for a better RB pair.

Touches, excluding ST's.

I'm going to go a little higher than most as I too think Zeke may be limited to get him acclimated. If I had to predict an exact #, I would say 12. Could go higher than that if they limit Zeke to less runs and let him mostly play decoy, pass pro & run some routes.

He had 24 carries coming off his suspension... I think he gets 20 carries depending on the flow of the game

would you be interested in a friendly wager on this?

If you are right, I have to post in three different threads next week that CowboyStar88 is "flowery language extolling your virtues & mastery of Cowboy knowledge, etc".

If you are wrong, you have to post homage to me in three different threads next week.

Deal?

He was allowed to be in practice for two weeks prior to coming off suspension though, right?

Zeke has shown himself to be a slow starter even when he's been around for all of training camp. My guess is they realize that, and ease him in for this game, since he may not be that effective anyhow. I'm going to go with 12 carries for each of them. This game SHOULD be a blowout, which means extra carries for the runningbacks.

You said Zeke gets 20 carries. I don't think he will. I asked if you would be interested in a friendly wager. Rather than money, the person who is wrong has to give "complimentary" posts to the person who is right. Seems pretty straightforward to me.

Pollard will shine with his limited touches. People are going to want to see more of him.

More is not better for these types of players. He didn't even carry a big load in college. Scat/change of pace backs are best with limited carries. Give them too many and they will get exposed for what they are.

Pollard might have more big plays but Zeke will set the tone for the offense. Pollard will benefit from that against a more worn down defense. That's his role.

If the whole team is playing well, then we should be two scores up... and that should result in us running the ball a lot, so he could have 15-18 rushes, depending that they do limit Zeke’s touches.
If we’re struggling to put the Giants away, then he might only about 10 attempts.

He is our kick returner right? add 2 returns plus his 10 snaps to a grand total of 12.
