2 reasons Zeke should sit against the Bears

[McMicah]

1. Give Zeke 2.5 weeks to get back to 100. We’ve seen an 80% Zeke due to a knee, and nobody wants heroism that looks like that. Get right. We will be ok for one game, and especially against the Bears

2. You need (and be honest…we want) to see TP as a feature back for multiple reasons. You want to know he can do it if Zeke goes down or if you can’t carry that contract at some point. You need to see what he looks like with 25-30 carries, and you need to see if he can protect Dak well enough to be that guy. Who knows, maybe the dude goes off and shines when he isn’t in someone’s shadow.

He is sitting
The reason and only good reason he should be sitting is injury

 

[MarcusRock]

Just hope Pollard doesn't get Dak killed back there.

 

[Denim Chicken]

For #2, TP is an free agent next year and we'll need to move on regardless.

 

[Adiba1977]

Need see what Davis can do. Any decent rb can get the 3-4 yard zeke does. He’s too slow now. At least our other backs can probably make people miss and get big runs. Zeke should be gone next year let’s see how others do. Only thing Zeke is Better at Is pass blocking.

 

[Mookie]

Pollard will be playing for a new contract, so I hope he Barry Sanders the **** out of his opportunity, helps Dallas reach the Super Bowl and GET PAID! Let's go TP!

 

[ShortRound]

Get those TE’s involved more too

Exactly, this should be obvious, and an even more obvious concern.
Zeke
Lewis
Farnoik
Thats a few hits to starters and depth.

It appears the Lions strategy was to injure our players seeing as to how they took out our corner and starting RB in a single game.

Game plan will need to utilize a two TE package to aid in blocking. Pollard will need to step up in the blocking game. That being said, Dak is really going to need to release his ball faster instead of standing in the pocket like he’s waiting for a prostitute to arrive to his hotel room.

I’d rather see him Emmitt Smith the **** out of it and win Super Bowls!

Bring in Adrian Peterson, he would be fired up to come in and finish his HOF career as a Cowboy.

we need him for about 10 carries a game on short yardage and some GL. Other than that he should he sitting all the time.

 

[Havic]

I don't want this to be like last year where a gimpy Zeke runs up the middle for 1.25 yards. I'm glad he is sitting and come back at 100%

All 3 of those guys are JAGS or they suck. Pollard is better, Bland is better, and Farniok sucks.

I like that! Let's Tony Dorsett the **** out of the season and win the whole damn thing!

I think splitting carries is working really well
Keeps both fresh and has been effective
I’d be more excited about seeing pollard used more in the passing game myself
Get the ball in his hands in space

The offense and the run game is better when Pollard is in there. Its easy to see. Night and day.

60-40 Pollard is probably optimal. 15 for Pollard, 10 for Zeke.

I’m hoping there aren’t but a very few games we only run 25 times myself

SO WE DON'T HAVE TO WONDER WHY HE'S SLOWER THAN NORMAL, ONLY TO FIND OUT IN THE SUMMER that he was dealing with an issue all season

Going to be fun to see a new back. Bobby Belt said Malik can pass block too which helps. He looked really good in PS. He could surprise this week.
