If they bring Zeke back he won't get many carries at all.
which is what many want, including the likes of the Mike Fishers and the hangers on. Folks just have this fixation on Zeke and its weird. This game is humbling and Zeke is 0 different. Hes washed, thats the facts. Thus far, 32 teams agree.

I know it's way too early to tell, but I just checked his stats from last season and he had 293 rush attempts (averaged 20 carries per game for 5.3 yards per rush), which really surprised me.

I initially thought he'd get maybe 4 to 6 carries a game, if that, and be more of a gadget player. But it seems like he can carry a much larger load if needed.

Pollard shouldn't get more than 20 carries a game imo. There's probably 12-20 more that will be needed if this offense does become a "run first" identity.

What's your expectation for Deuce Vaughn?

I'll guess that he gets 25% of the carries.

He had more carries in college than any of the top 10 RBs in this draft.

He also had the most receiving yards of any RB in this draft.

I dont think they bring him back now. Deuece and TP do just fine in short yardage and add in they can also take it to the house at any moment.

he also has the most rushing yards in the NCAA from 2020 to 2022 and most all purpose yards by a nice margin

People here keep thinking Darren Sproles, but just hope he is Jaquizz Rodgers.

Those all purpose yards were the tipping point in drafting him IMHO. I'll bet they'll make him earn the normal RB reps just because of his size, but I think he'll prove himself & be our #2 RB.

Thats actually a fair comp. Except Lindsay was 5'8 190. Ran a 4.39 40. Super productive in college.

Had a good rookie year on a bad Broncos team. Very mediocre second year on a bad Broncos team.

Then was cut, signed, cut, signed by three or four other teams. Did nothing.

Currently in the XFL.

But he did play. Im not going to break down whether he was better in college than Vaughn. I just know he put up huge numbers, is bigger and faster than Vaughn.

Some here don't seem to understand how big a different 3 inches and 20-30 pounds are in ANY sport. If it was so easy to be 5'5 in the NFL, there would be more than what 2-3 productive players at that size in NFL history.

Need to see how he looks in camp/preseason but right now, still a project. At 5'5" 180 pounds, there is no precedent in the league for any RB as small as him. Other small NFL RBs were still either taller/heavier. Sure, he was great in college but in the NFL, everyone is a great athlete with size.

ideally he makes the team and shows enough to supplant jones. Is he a special teams player?

Or as other posters might like he can shine Zeke’s shoes when we resign him lol

Exactly. 10-15 lbs difference on someone that is only 5'6 is huge. He's getting compared to very small RBs that make HIM look very small and slow.

Can't teach height and he doesn't have elite speed...at 4.56 he tied for 10th fastest in rbs from the combine. He's got great vision and can be very slippery but he's outside of the expected basic measurements.

I think he makes the practice squad to start the year and might get a call up at some point if injuries pop up
Pollard ran a 4.52

0. He will not make the team. It was a token wasted pick. The kid is 5’5. Imagine him running into jalen carter. He will get smashed like a grape
Oct 2, 2022. The join date when all the eagle fans raided this forum ........ Funny you mentioned Jalen Carter as well.
