This year pollard was a better blocker than zeke was this year. Cant find the og thread but pollard was near top-middle of blocking

CoachD · Mar 16, 2023

That's because he's not but that's ok the Cowboys will draft another RB and he'll see plenty of playing time to give Pollard a rest.

This isn't new......if TPollard was an every down back......Zeke would have been able to sit and mend a bad knee.......2 seasons ago. Let that sink in.

People won;t let it sink in. They think zeke sucks. Fact is he played hurt for parts of two years. This team should never have asked him to and in fact IR'd him. We sucked the life out of him then curbstomped his face.

McCarthy probably views Pollard as what GB has with Aaron Jones.

We’ll def upgrade RB2 in the draft I’d imagine. For a nice combo back.

Hes wonderful to have but he’s going to get dinged up eventually if we don’t have another complimentary piece. Don’t forget he’s also coming back from a big injury and blocking is not his forte.

While I do agree with Zekes release, we need to invest in an early pick in this years draft. I want a physical runner that punishes defenses like early Zeke, Barber, and Murray. We need some toughness to this team. While I’m sad about Zekes release, the future also excites me

100% agreed

Nobody is, That s why they will use Davis and draft someone as well.

lol overdramatize much! Zeke didn’t do anything he didn’t want to do. These players are represented and if he wanted to sit, he could have. Curbstomped him? that’s hilarious! The consummate professional.

Pollard is not an every down back, we already knew that.

I don’t want Davis in the rotation. Frankly I think we could do better

Real bell cow RBs are few and far between anymore. Some who can do it all and do it three downs again and again are very rare.

And usually require high draft picks and lots of money to keep

So RB by committee is probably the better way to go in the NFL as it is now

Ok but we are now overpaying an injury prone back who can’t block. Pollard should be gone too.

Pollard is identical to McCaffrey.

Just use Pollard like McCaffrey.

Really, what did you not like about him when he played last year. I thought he ran the ball well.

It’s nothing against him. It boils down to what I said

I think we can do better

If they leave it up to Jed and the Texas RB is there at 26, Pollard will not be an every down back.

After paying him gadzillions. Don't leave that out.

I thought he was a backup type that plays really hard. Didn't see anything about him that says starter.

An argument could be made Zeke wasn't an every down back either.

I’m not a believer that Pollard is an every down back
