I think we should stick with the 2 headed monster for now.

Pollard 100% has earned more playing time though.

100%. They’re both good. But Zeke on the field decreases the chances of a big play happening from the run game.

Like Shannon said in the video.. Zeke’s 19 yard run is probably 35 yards for Pollard.

It’s a great problem to have but long term Zeke’s contract is horrible horrible value.

Don't know what is worse the idiots on TV or the trolls in here.

Stick with what works. What they did in LA worked. At least for that game.

What I find refreshing, they, and that includes Moore, are finding ways to scheme defenses and move the ball. Well, they always seemed to move the ball. But it looks different this year.
But they need to get more TD's still. I think that will happen.

This is not the same old grind it out same plays scheme we seen from Garrett.
Makes it interesting to see what they do against the Eagles.

 

[I need 6]

This is a ridiculous subject. Tony is a change of pace back. We should be a balanced team like the Chargers game. Zeke should carry the bulk of the workload and Tony should be the change of pace.

Remember Zeke didn't get any touches in the preseason like Tony did. Neither touched the ball much in the Bucs game.

Zeke is just warming up.

 

[Manwiththeplan]

Are people really spending energy of which RB should start or get the most carries? And I get it, it's the Cowboys *and* Ezekiel Elliott is high profile himself, but this isn't like at QB where if you got 2, it's a problem.

Ride the hot hand, it's that simple. Some weeks it will be Zeke...other weeks Pollard. It's not rocket science

lol.. Imagine still thinking that’s all he is.

He’s a do it all back. The reason you think he’s “Change of pace” is because he happens to be incredibly fast as well.

People want to be right SOO bad that they make things up and will believe in it to the death.

On 3rd and 1 or 4th and 1 can he pound through contact on a consistent basis? If not he's not a do it all back. He is fast though.

 

[glimmerman]

Someone has a good game and you want to replace your 15 million dollar a year RB. A top ranked RB. He still has gas left in the tank. Nothing wrong with giving Pollard his carries. But until I see Pollard running circles around him then I will stick with Elliot. Yeah he didn’t have his best year after Dak went down. I will give him the chance before I give his carries to someone else. If he starts fumbling and things like that then I will be the first one screaming for his head.

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

no. its working fine. there is no need to have one over the other.... don't mess with a good thing.

and these shows, their job is to create a subject to discuss. stir things up....

Have you watched professional football during the last decade and a half?

 

[CATCH17]

Hes 215 pounds. Is he is as good as Zeke in short yardage? No.

But can he be as good as McCaffrey, Kamara, Ekeler, or Aaron Jones. Sure.


It’s a big play league and Pollard is a big play back. It’s not 1992.

 

[CATCH17]

I’m not worried about Pollards ability to get yards after contact.


The problem is this board can’t get over their pre-conceived notion of what they thought Pollard was and what he actually is.

He can run tough when needed.

This is where you should have stopped.

This is where you should have stopped.

Time reveals all. We are all entitled to our opinions. I won't stop unless I want to. I respect your opinion but you will respect mine.

He is a change of pace back and nothing else. Your hating Zeke does not change reality.
