It is good news to actually read this.
Because he should not have been tagged last year.

It was typical of the stuff this team does. So it is good news.
They tagged Dak, he got injured, then signed him to a huge deal anyway. Now paying a big price for that.
It's pretty obvious that they aren't tagging anybody.

Forget Pollard for a minute.
Everybody's next slice of bread RB Bijan Robinson didn't crack 1,000 with Atlanta.
He wouldn't have with Dallas either with the same incompetent 3 Stooges calling epic failure run schemes/philosophies...

Makes sense to run it back with McFraud, Schott and Solari leading that same run game plan.

How'd that run the damn ball and rest the defense thing work out again?

Yeah, it was all Pollard's fault.
Robinson would've gotten 25-30 carries a game here. He would've put up 1400 yards.

I guess I don't have as much faith in McFraud, Schott and Solari's met at or behind the LOS run scheme. Regardless of running back.

I guess the do over with the same coaches but supposedly more talented backs is the answer.

Seeing is believing for me.

I think this run game coaching braintrust trio couldn't get a 4.0 ypc avg outta prime Tony D, Emmitt or Zeke myself.

if we’re going the FA route, Swift…….rather we not go the FA route for an RB though.

I'm glad to see people calling out the awful run scheme last year. Some of the crap going on was mind boggling. Slow developing plays where linemen pulled and left weakside defenders completely unblocked? Ridiculous. Even once it was obvious that it wasn't working they didn't adjust.

If they keep the same mentality next year, the run game is going to suck regardless of who they draft or sign.

Green Bay playbook.

Big Mike calling what he knows.

KMoore was missed.

Btw, scrub RBs won’t get it done.

Spot on brother.Their basic run principles coupled with Solari's new technique teachings, particularly with Steele, left a lot to be desired.
And that's an understatement.

Put any RB back there and he would have got met at the LOS or behind it for a loss.

Truly pathetic coaching that will require way more than just a different name at RB in order to be fixed.

Holy ketchup, was that even being considered?
The team just doesn’t make smart decisions. Why would they tag him last year coming off an injury? Unfortunately any quality decisions they do make are offset with head scratchers like that and a whole slew of others over the years. Common sense seems to be lost with this front office. Getting this decision right is actually a surprise at this point.
