2 RB set: utilize Pollard & Clement with Zeke

[Dak_Attack_09]

I saw what I liked out of the running game with varied formations and stay committing to it each quarter of the game.


Offense needs to utilize two RB set more and use motions to go from run to pass plays and counter the Arizona’s & Denvers show blitz and drop coverage look.

The motion allows one of the RB to go out as a hot read if they blitz while other can stay to pass protect or run from spread formation.

Start Ito Smith instead of Zeke.

1. Zeke & Pollard
2. Pollard & Clement
3. Zeke & Clement

I wonder if Zeke could play Left Guard.

Maybe fullback instead?

I just never understood why Dallas didn't use Zeke and Pollard in the backfield together...

I think I saw them do this a couple of times. But not nearly enough!!

They did it in first half of the season and like everything else it went away in the “slump”.

They rotate TP and Zeke so they both stay fresh but if they are going to do that they need to stay more balanced with their attack rather than leaning more to the passing game. KM has to work on that.

Clement looked good coming out the backfield, small sneaky little pissant.

Need better rb. How eagles got 4-5 good ones?

 

[Sydla]

Hot take.

Clement is a better option at TB right now than Zeke with this OL.

Eagles do not have "good ones". They have one decent one in Sanders.

What they do have is the best OL in the league right now. One thing often not mentioned here is they have a pure stud as OL coach - Jeff Stoutland. That guy churns out top level OL. Doesn't matter who Philly drops into that OL, he makes them serviceable, at least.

They have upper level OT play and they have elite C play.

Lmao

Zeke is slow to the hole. Anyone who watches him can see he lacks any real explosiveness. Clement isn't a better TB. But he may work better with this OL.

People really are struggling with the Elliott drop off it seems.

Look at what the Patriots do..they attack the other teams weakness ..so if it means running the ball they do it..they use multiple backs and continue to attack..if it's a w

They have a great oline

Not struggling with anything just find it hilarious that some thing clement should play more with what he did against a depleted D. And no real blocking assignments with Dak in there lol. But ok sure

Clement was as effective as Elliott. The issue isn't that Clement is great. The issue is that Elliott is kinda mediocre at this point. With this OL, a non-explosive back that is slow to the line is dead in the water. Watch what Arizona did to them last week. Their DEs never even bothered to keep containment against Elliott because they had no fear of him.

I wish they could cut Elliott this offseason and try to remake the OL and RB position but alas, they are stuck with Zeke for another year most likely given his contract.

Maybe fullback instead?

I mean could he play like a Ritchie Anderson like FB role going forward?
