Maybe, but from what I've seen, defenses were adjusted to stop our inside running game. They pinched down inside to stack it up, which is the reason we needed to run outside more with both Elliott and Pollard. It seems to me that the smart thing for defenses to do would be to pinch when Elliott was in the game and spread out their front when Pollard is in the game, but Pollard has shown he can run between the tackles, just like Elliott has shown he can have some success outside the tackles. We need to keep it balanced with both backs. If we never pitch it to Elliott, for instance, then why shouldn't defenses cheat inside when he's out there?
