I don't have a ton to contribute to this thread, other than to thank you for creating and actual thread about football.I am wondering about both in the backfield and the possibilities.
What would you do to get both of these guys on the field together?
Motion Pollard to the slot.
From the slot Jet Sweep Pollard or fake Jet Sweep
Flair Pollard to the flat on play-action
Run Pollard into the line and toss sweep to Zeke
It seems you have something new for this team and utilizing both will causes defenses to focus on Zeke, but once Pollard shows something, then what?
Obviously I am not an offensive coordinator.
Opinions?
Both deep behind the QB...QB takes the snap and turns around to hand off...and you don't know which back has the ball. Pollard races off to the left and Zeke to the right.... But SURPRISE! Dak kept the ball and throws deep to Gallup who's racing uncovered down the left hashmarks...
overthrown.
Aren't you glad I'm not the OC? lol
This isn't the first time we had two running backs in the backfield
Or... you can watch the kid's college film and understand he a has nice skill set that should be effective in the NFL if utilized correctly.Why are we so convinced that Pollard is the real deal like he was the 4th pick in the entire draft. Pollard wasn't the top dog in college. Henderson of the Rams was the #1 back. Pollard was not 1a, he was the 2nd option. I hope he thrives but I just dont get the hype after a 15 carry preseason. Its Jerry and the media circus that's created this unsubstantiated hype. Btw, Weber is just as impressive with more carries.
Oh I have watched. I'm a "prove it" kind of person. College film is not always reliable. There are lots of college 1,000 yard backs that are on the bench, practice squad, or out of the league. I hope he balls out and can spell Zeke enough to keep him fresh late in games and late in the season. I heard that Pollard has talent on kickoffs. It would be good if he can do punt returns also. Most kick offs are touch backs which neutralizes that skill. I hope Pollard is a beast on screen passes, wheel routes, and shallow crossing routes.Or... you can watch the kid's college film and understand he a has nice skill set that should be effective in the NFL if utilized correctly.
Zeke is a pretty good receiver and decent route runner. so having both in the back field provides us with option to move both, one or the other and keep defense guessing. its a 21 look that can be a 11 easily or even a 01 or start as a 20 and be 10 package. defenses should have hell of a time trying to defend it.I am wondering about both in the backfield and the possibilities.
