I concede that Pollard is better than Zeke

I would give Pollard a new deal and have him split carries with another back like today. Malik Davis looked like the same guy we saw in preseason too.

Zeke's contract is huge, who will take him ?

Zeke should probably take some sort of pay cut to stay in Dallas. Don't think he's done but he's got a lot of miles for a rb.

They got to see Pollard when Zeke held out. I'm not sure why we signed Zeke then let alone now. Hard to see how they'll sign Pollard without cutting Zeke. Jones' comments on "we go as Zeke goes" is to keep the price down on Pollard IMO.

You are right, but Pollard doesn't have the amount of wear Zeke does. If Dallas continues to use him like today they will be in great shape.

Pollard doesn't have the same load under him that Zeke did.

Doesn't matter. Draft the replacement.

He does some things better.
He's a faster more elusive back for sure.
He does not have the blitz pick up skills and struggles when there is not a clear hole where zeke can often get dirty yards.
I do love Pollard but zeke is still very good

Zeke is gone. No reason to keep him unless he takes a HUGE paycut.
The only decision is do you pay Pollard? Zeke should have no affect whatsoever on that decision.

He’s not. The way zeke looked against Philly. If he had the have to himself without pollard, he gets 130. It happens. Guys have big games. Let pollard sit against Philly abd see what zeke does.

It’ll take a lot more than one game with Pollard running through massive holes before I’d make that leap, though others have been taking your line for some time. I’m a huge Memphis fan and watched him there. While I’m certainly glad we have Tony, I’m not ready to pass him the baton.
Though we’ll never know, I think Zeke would’ve had a big day today. I also think it hurts Zeke when he’s splitting carries with Tony. I did an analysis last year of the plays they were calling for Tony versus the plays called for Zeke. For that game, they were running Tony behind the strongest part of the O-line, while Zeke was getting most of his carries on the other side and not getting the opportunity to run behind Martin. Does it matter? Idk.
