Get rid of Zeke

[Coogiguy03]

Get the ball to POLLARD more. These 2 yard gains he gets every run KILLS this offense. Yet you see other teams that don't have a "Zeke" gash our defense like they're better than Zeke!!

This offense would move better if we had a guy that could MAKE guys miss, instead of always LOOKING for contact.....

Maybe not get rid but bench him. He doesn’t have the pop.

He is still a hellavu blocker.

 

[nightrain]

I do think he needs to take a blow and get healthy. Problem is pass protection and trusting Clement to play.

 

[HungryLion]

Those two screens to Zeke to start OT were damn near criminal. Why is he getting those balls and not Pollard?

I should have said that he still has value at times but we just need a change stop worrying about how much you're paying him and let POLLARD touch it more

He's playing injured and is about the best in the league at picking up blitzes.

I'm just not a fan like I used to be of him, like I seriously see him being a big issue why our run game isn't efficient

WHO GIVES A........ When you can't move the ball or make the first man miss

True well work out some one else OR get the ball out quicker

We need a home run hitter not a blocker. We can draft a RB w blocking skills on the cheap.

 

[Brooksey]

He's hurt let's keep it in perspective but RB is on the draft board next year , imo

And you can’t get rid of him
If we cut everyone fans wanted cut we’d have 12 players on the roster and no cap space

He started the season great. But he is banged up now.


Problem is, this is what happens to RB’s who have been in the league for a while. They get banged up easier and easier and lose their effectiveness over the course of the seasons because their body is wearing down.


It sucks.

 

[ArtClink]

But he is the 2nd best RB on our team per stats (yds per carry, longest run, etc) AND per the eye test. Last season you could argue Zeke was better but this season I see a worn out back that rarely breaks tackles and hasn’t been a home run threat in several seasons. It’s frustrating to see out stud back Pollard playing second fiddle to Zeke

That why I asked during the 2 minute drive where was Pollard. Get him a screen pass like the Panthers do CM. He needs the ball more and in OT where you need a TD to win do that. Sorry but with Zeke knee or ankle during OT was not the time and knew we lost as soon as we punted.

Yep. And that’s not me hating on Zeke. Dude is hurt and not able to run full speed. So “genius” Kellen Moore takes out Pollard and puts in Zeke to catch the ball in space?

It’s stupidity.

 

[unionjack8]

Yep

And dlaw.

And Greg Z

And mccarthy

And Brown

And lve

And 63

And......

Everyone knows Zeke is hurt, but the Coaches refuses to play Pollard more. If their passing a LB or S has to cover Pollard, so I agree the Zeke is a better blocker argument can go either way. Point is, they need speed without Coop n CeeDee, and they didn't use their playmaker.
