….this is Ryan Switzer hype 2.0 all over again.

Lol based on what? The only thing that has slowed down Pollard is Zeke getting touches because of what he has done in the past.

Zeke is bottled up when he touches the ball right now and looks like a bloated mess.

At this point RB by committee looks like a great idea. But just getting Tony in there as another weapon even with Zeke on the field should be a priority especially with it looking like our defense is going to be hit or miss the rest of the season.

First, I like Pollard......but he been getting hyped since Preseason.....and ever since. He makes splash plays.....given. But anointing him w/o much to see...….are you running him on the outside, every play? Is he the only RB that can catch? Can't wait to see it.....between the tackles.....Even Memphis HC laughs at this board. Yep....2019 Ryan Switzer Hype Award.

I really like his potential and the more touches he has the higher chance of the cowboys winning. We need to use him more on screens and passing plays.

is this the first game all year where we can truly say Cowboys properly exploited Pollards skills, finally made a true effort to better utilize his play making ability on the field ?

what took this coaching staff so freaking loooong !!

we finally saw him on display as both a runner and a receiver out of the backfield, we saw him and zeke BOTH on the field at same time, while Pollard also making plays out of the jet sweep plays ( much rather have pollard doing that vs Tavon Austin)

Moore and this coachigng staff could have long been doing this instead of waiting until 10 game of the season - they should have had this Pollard scheme planned out at the start. Geeez

Better late than never ... but you never know if Pollard's play making skills could have affected the outcome in games such as Jets, Vikes or Saints if the coaches had long better prepared, developed and schemed Pollard in the earlier going.


I think, unfortunately, that Zeke’s holdout actually hurt the process of finding the right role for Pollard. He got a lot of good experience in camp with the first team, running Zeke’s plays. But that time could have been better used developing how they would best leverage his skills once Zeke came back.

It took Zeke getting shut down for a game and half.

Sorry you’re having trouble. I think it was pretty clear.

He’s hired to be a change of pace and a receiving back (where he had the majority of his yards in college)

He spent spring training being the number 1 rusher. Instead of developing the best role for him on this team.

For now. They have never really turned him loose in consecutive games. When they do they have a better chance to win. It is a simple fact.
