You could say that about any RB. It doesnt need to be Zeke.
Are you aware that the Cowboys are 11-0 when Pollard gets 10 carries or more?
Zekes great rushing years coincide directly with our best Oline years. Its the Oline that has always been the key both for Zeke and Dak. As the line has faded, so has Zeke.
Are you aware that posting blatant lies does nothing to bolster your point..
In 2020 the Cowboys lost to Arizone 38-10 while Pollard was racking up 31 yards on 10 carries.
In 2021 the Cowboys lost to Las Vegas with Pollard lighting it up for 36 yards on 10 carries.
The fact of the matter is Pollard generally only gets 10 carries or more when he is a) lighting it up or b) the game is in hand and the Cowboys are resting Zeke.
Pollard also has 8 career games where he has averaged 3 ypc or less. That's 8 of his 46 games played. basically in 17.4% of his games he averages less than 3 ypc. On the other hand that guy you hate so much has had 14 career games of 3 ypc or less. Or 14 of 88 which works out to 15.9%. So for all his greatness Pollard is slightly more likely to be held to 3 ypc or less than Elliott is. Oh and before anybody chimes in with "well Pollard doesn't get the carries.." No he doesn't.. and if he is coming in and giving the same ypc as Elliott on top of not being as good of a blocker he's not going to. Sorry if that bothers people but that's the reality. When you're the backup you are not going to play more than the starter unless you come in and light it up. If both backs are getting < 4 ypc the one who can block is rightfully going to play more. In those games where Pollard has come in and tore it up I think he has gotten totes.
