Twitter: Cowboys are preparing to be without Pollard on Sunday

[Aven8]

Hardy sucked in PS and had nothing. Can’t believe he was even on the PS still.

 

[Cowboyny]

Yea, I read that also but was not surprised. Their best D players are on the interior DL. I'm guessing Del Rio will try and pressure with blitzes which should create some opportunities for some nice passing plays. I notice Coop was saying this will be the first game of him, Lamb, and Gallup playing together this season. I didn't know that......

Think Cooper is finally fully healthy

 

[JoeKing]

I'm in favor of seeing another flea-flicker, or two, or three.

 

[KJJ]

I disagree with your premise. Washington's best 2 players are their DTs. Chase Young hasn't really only looked good against some inferior players.

Heading into the season Young and Sweat were their two top defensive players. No one would argue with that. Neither have played great this season, especially Young but they’re capable of wrecking games. Both were hyped up a lot heading into this season as was Washington’s defense and it disappointed early. Both players still have great potential. Washington’s had players step up in their absence.

I hope so. He was coughing routinely on the radio a couple of days ago.

Don't see Pollard back this season. Even if he does get back for the playoffs he wouldnt be 100%

If you watched Hard Knocks this year you saw Zeke teaching Hardy to be patient when running the rock so that blocking assignments had time to develop and holes in the line had time to open up. It's just a split-second hesitation but it really works.

Hopefully if Hardy is needed, he's had time to pick up on some things that will help his natural skills. After the preseason, I really wasn't sure if we'd even keep him on the PS.

 

[FaSho]

We need to start a fund to get Hardy some lasik.

 

[GORICO]

Hardy is the dude from Hard Knocks that needed glasses.

He was not very good on hard knocks tape either

 

[Cmac]

Zeke’s “toughness“ is hurting the team any time he touches the ball in non-short yardage situations.

......don't forget the OL's "toughness" in the short yardage blocking category, and TEs that don't even know what blocking anywhere is.

 

[Rockport]

Hopefully he can see good enough to find a hole if he has to play. Put some goggles on him and he can do his best Eric Dickerson or Chuck Muncie impression.

Hopefully the offensive line can open some holes. They haven’t been of late.

 

[John813]

I assume they couldn't afford Darius Jackson and let him defend earth with the remaining Avengers?




(He's with Houston fwiw)

 

[GORICO]

One carry makes a bug difference in average...plus Pollard isn't playing and Zeke is, so who are you rooting for?

Ranching---- this from podiatrist site on torn or ruptured plantar fascia----A ruptured plantar fascia can take several months to completely resolve. In a 2004 study involving 18 patients with a torn plantar fascia, all patients returned to activities within 4-26 weeks with an average of 9 weeks....i am sure few of these 18 patients were returning to rigorous NFL running back duties....either Cowboys purposely slow drip drip drip
bad news like Collins last year or reported injury not as severe?.....the reported injury and prognosis makes no sense?

Joe---do you remember by any chance 2016 when Zeke played first game against Giants at home...we lost 20-19?....before Zeke learned that split second hesitation waiting for blockers he just blasted to whatever

lane assigned....he spoke on that very thing half way through 2016 season as i remember....it does make all the difference in the world

In high school Micah played RB and DE.

As a senior Micah carried the ball 111 times for 1256 yards, an average of 11.3 yards a carry, and 27 TD's. He also had 10.5 sacks and an INT on defense.

...........Just saying..........

 

[Mk2_Cowboys]

I like Hardy . He probably sucks in pass protection though , that’s the number one reason backs stay on practice squads.

 

[Praxit]

...what happened to the RB, who was killing it during pre-season? Think he got hurt, but dude had some wheels. It wasnt Hardy.

 

[CWR]

Pollard averaged 2 yards a carry between the tackles....you can't see that?

Whatever, they compliment each other well and he has been the only spark in the run game as of late. It's a big hit not to have him.

 

[khiladi]

Will the Commanders even bring another man in the box?

 

[Motorola]

Two

Hopefully he can see good enough to find a hole if he has to play. Put some goggles on him and he can do his best Eric Dickerson or Chuck Muncie impression.

Two of best to tote the rock back in the day.
