Like this a lot. If you saw him at Memphis, then you know he was a playmaker and made the most out of his limited touches as the RB2.
What do you want, them throwing passes at guys on the bubble or to a player that is a known commodity and will be on the team? Find ways to get him on the field more and at the same time as the RB1.
The game is worry the defense. Put another weapon out there they have to be concerned about and one that is a very good runner with the ball in his hands.
This is like Payton getting Taysom Hill on the field with Brees, he makes plays, he's no good on the sideline. Put him in as TE/HB and get him the ball.
I like Tony Pollard because he has that same #2RB mindset he had in college. Guys like that make the most out of opportunities because they're constantly trying to get more.
Tom Brady made a living in NE out of using RB's as WR's. Is is possible that Pollard could be the Cowboys version of James White?
