Yeah there's a path to keeping both guys.. I think they should take it. Restructure Zeke.. give Pollard a nice raise.. and let's keep this tandem grinding out yards another 2-3 years. The rush to break up a working combination continues to baffle me. The Eagles did a great job of holding Pollard to around 2 ypc .. again.. The good news was that Moore schemed to get him the ball in the passing game. Great move. Let Zeke keep doing the dirty work, get Pollard in space.. It works.. Keep doing it.

I know everyone is always trying to get rid of him but he has done his job and has done it well!

I love 21 and I hope he comes back next year
I’d love to have him back
But not at the cost of losing pollard
Zeke is still a really good player and important to our run game. But pollard is a playmaker and you can’t let him walk. I don’t see anyway we keep both and as much as I like Zeke, I’d take pollard over Zeke all day

Pollard in two games against the Eagles had 20 carries for 63 yards and 0 TDs. . In those same two games Zeke put up 29 carries for 136 yards and 2 TDs. I repeat.. when the defense can defeat or stalemate our front Zeke is the guy you want totin the rock. Pollard is great in space or when the line is blowing open huge holes but sometimes in a rock em sock em game you gotta pound the rock. Anybody think Dak would have had the game he had without Zeke keeping that defensive front honest between the tackles? I say again.. keep this duo together.. They're playing winning football.

Anyone who wants Zeke back is part of the problem, he's a below average back, if he breaks a tackle it's a highlight reel on ESPN and he is always below the average back in YPC. Translation, the most overrated back in football for the past 4 years.

Seems like you really take it personally the fact that we are worse without Amari. Wow, you might need to talk to someone.
The team is better bc the d is better, and the offense still works DESPITE losing Amari because we got Pollard more involved. But we are one less threat than we needed to be.

that what teams do better teams letting go better payers then AC just adjust and move forward.. KC lets Hill go hes twice the player cooper is and KC fond other ways to move the ball and score. Its business, AC is gone and agree 100% with the decision and sure wasn't just Pollard, also Brown and lamb elevated their games and Gallup once fully back will also be fine..
Nope you miss that game yesterday.. we are 11-4 offense moves fine without coop 22mil cap hit.,. Maybe you are taking it personally, since you are still waving your pom poms 15 games in and we obviously are doing just fine without his. Period AC was good payer hes gone hes not cowboy and you can NOT LET IT GO.. The cowboys and most fans have..

so keep up your Coop fan club badge membership by constantly bringing his name into it.. we do not care!!! hes not a cowboy ,move on,.most have..

What Zeke does for this offense is easily replaceable at this point. What Pollard does isn't.

It's really that simple for me.

what's gonna happen when we fail to score 2-3 tds running the ball in each playoff game???

Field goals are gonna happen

Our defense isn't that darn good.

They should have kept Cooper and got rid of Gallop and Schultz. It's the same savings.

And they should have made Pollard the main weapon 1-3 years ago and we would have won something
should have OK Internet knowitall keyboard GM :lmao2:
DISAGREE, MOVE ON!

TY, Gallup, brown, shcultz, furgeson, Hendershot, Turpin, pollard in the pass game all are capable of making a play, you musty have missed TY 50 yard catch or dak lighting up that debatably Best back end in football , best dl in football sacking dak all day , was under constant pressure and dropped another 40..thats 3 Passing tds bud..sorry, you lose this argument we have more weapons if the play calls and designs and gameplans are more consistently executed.. this isnt 2018 where Coop was sorely needed and made huge difference.

BTW why the run reference, since daks returned hes 2nd in the league in passing tds .. once again this odd debate happens as if we have no weapons.. see lamb elevated the last 6 weeks has become true #1..we are one of the top scoring offenses since daks return, they aren't all running tds but daks presence even opened up our run game more. LMAO

BTW lastly and final; response ill ignore those that just won't let it go..AC where was he the last 5 games of the Seosan last year and the playoff game, how about the rams PO game in 18.. dont remember him beating teams on his own or doing anytthug special and enarly ended with the 3rd passign yards and what not on our team. I oie the guy his skillset not in question his 22mil cap hit and the fact we had players to offset his loss and needed the money for a better TEAM. Its a business, MOVE ON!

11-4 thats a top playoff team/defense dak hung 350 3tds 40points on(how many 40+ point game does dak have now since hes been back 3-4, not just in the pass game but his presence over rush make our run game better because they cant ignore Dak, rush scared no one.) on under pressure all game..also had 41 on the ground and our run game was not dominant.

so we do not miss AC..its over, done ,hes a brown, go watch the browns and cheer for your boy :).they been officially eliminated but maybe coop can pad his stats

I get what you're saying about Zeke pounding the rock and I'm not disagreeing bruh

I'm not expecting Pollard to pound the rock like zeke btw

I'm expecting some young RB from college with some speed to join the RB core with Pollard and pound it!!!

I'm not trying to turn Pollard into Zeke ya see. Never was.

I'm just trying to improve the committee and get my pro bowler and best player on the field more than 50% of the time.

So the defense isn't just keying in on him when he gets substituted in.

Wrong!!! Cooper caught 5 balls in the playoffs and scored the only offensive TD in the game (besides Dak) while being Double teamed.

You must have your games mixed up. Dak was dinking and dunking to Schultz because he wasn't drawing any coverage because sf didn't fear his rinky dink Checkdown passes

What playoff games were you watching??? Lamb caught 1 pass the whole game and Zeke folded like a cheap suit making us 1 dimensional because we were down by 20 points

He also Caught a TD pass against the Rams in that playoff game where Zeke got shut down and made us one dimensional

And against Seattle he had over 100 yards receiving when Zeke could run the ball

The only good came from those 2 picks from Jimmy G

But we still got dominated both games

I think they negotiate a new contract that alleviates his cap hit and allows us to keep Pollard.
Yeah if he wants to stay in Dallas I think that’s what he does as well. I don’t know what contract he would get if we let him walk-probably no better than a renegotiate with is.

. we are winning as much and near the same level of offense used in a variety of ways without his 22MIL ..umm kk unlike Him who's watching once again on TV for the playoiffs like most year with raiders and now the browns.. crazy how we are in the playoffs without him and the browns arent with him LOL..

BYE cant debate with fan who cant see the obvious. Hes gone, your gone, we are done..

Pollards success this season has changed everything on what could happen with Zeke next season. Entering the season it was a forgone conclusion that Zeke would be gone after the 2022 season. With Pollard having a pro bowl season and being a free agent his price tag has gone way up and it brings the possibility that he could move on and the Cowboys could retain Zeke at a much lower price.

Schultz 11 mil and Gallop 10 mil are the 2 most overpaid Jags on this team (and Zeke isn't too far behind 16 mil) And you have a problem with Cooper?? Lol

They both turned into 3-4 TD a year pumpkins without Cooper stretching the field and Everybody on God's green earth knows it!!

Pollard getting utilized more and our 25 rushing tds has nothing to do with Amari Cooper, Schultzkowski, or Noah Brown. Btw Neither does our defensive improvement.

Your argument is that he didn't produce or draw coverage away down the stretch but don't ya think our one dimensional one legged RB attack had a big part to do with that??? Duh

I showed you that coop did produce at the playoff level despite us being turned one dimensional by both SF and the Rams.

So your positive spin has nothing to do with Cooper's performance or salary because the black and white stats tell a different story

This fo just chose the wrong 2 players to pay

I betcha they don't have a problem w Schultz'kowski getting his 15 million per year contract from the Jets next year ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

KC didn't just let hill go either.
They woulda had to pay him 30 million and they got 5 draft picks for him also

How did trading aj brown for a #1 work out for the Titans??

Or devontae Adams for the Packers??

Great players aren't as easy to come by. We'll spend more money on fas, draft capitol and picks to replace him before it's all said and Done.
