Not enough people say that, but it’s true. Props to him and glad he is staying healthy this year and getting another shot. Do not look forward to how we will replace his presence on our line.
Their respective positions make things different. Tyron has to rely on himself to anchor the blindside of Dak. He and the other Smith may have to communicate and collaborate on certain blocking assignments but that is a whole different realm than tailback. Tony Pollard has to have o-linemen blocking well for his success as any rb would. You watch the games, I am assuming here but if you in fact do open your eyes to what is going on. Tony might have slowed some from injury but the cat is still fast enough to get it done. Go back and watch some Barry Sanders on YT and you can find him running around in the backfield trying to get to the los a lot of times. Cause? Not good blocking for the great Barry Sanders is why. Don't just go with the narrative on here. Tony Pollard is fine. Someone on here mentioned that our backs just stick their nose up in their holes instead of bouncing it regardless of no hole to be had. I played tailback in high school and we were told that very same thing. Hit it and go north-south don't bounce it. Don't know if that is the coaching philosophy in Dallas but it wouldn't surprise me
You know I find ironic lot of zoners and alleged cowboy fans been wanting this guy to be cut off our team for years saying he's a liability he's wasting a spot etcetera etcetera it got even worse when he hurt his neck this year oh that same group came back and said Jerry should cut him right now they literally wanted tyron Smith cut off this team immediately when they heard about his neck injury just claiming he just doesn't do anything for this team anymore...
Yeah that's the thing though he's coming off a major knee injury, he's trying to get back to form and eventually he will so can we calm down on ripping the dude for actually trying to play through his injury while recovering.. He said some good games and he's had some bad games overall he's playing probably what I would call average but I think that he is getting better and nobody's perfect guys get beat he's not gonna be that guy that locks down the right tackle spot and gets all pro votes but if he just gets back to at least who he was before the injury will be just fine..
No doubt a long time, and still playing at a high level is very cool. We'll see how well he plays in the playoffs. lol
Lol. You think Pollard could get RB1 reps from any decent team in the league? No, he couldn’t. Did you watch SF play today? Pollard would get cut from that lineup.
In all fairness most here wanted Tyron cut before the season lol
He can practice, but do we want him to.
Once it’s not possible to help our playoff position he should be wrapped in bubble wrap and stored away till playoffs
He would get reps with most teams. 49ers are the exception not the rule
Getting reps isn’t the same as being RB1. He was getting reps when Zeke was still effective. I like Pollard, he’s just not that guy, and I have no idea what people who think he is are watching.
I bet he’d start on many teams. Obviously not the 49ers because they have CMC
Not me bhut you are correct.. You should have seen the overreactions when he heard his neck and the couple games he missed before then the ridiculous comments about jerry shou....ut the guy because he's wasting space.. Telling this guy to force retirement and Jerry to cut him off this team is insane This is why you can't trust fans any fans to beat GM's they're not good judges of contracts trades or roster building they think they are they think they have an inside scoop because they're on social media and they can a couple clicks they can open up stat lines and whatnot but you can't judge players because they're injured on and off the field you have to let that player decide when it's time to retire you have to let the team decide if he's a waste of a roster spot or not and in this case they're wrong I can live with this dude playing 10-12 games a year if he's playing at this level keep him off the practice field cinnamon games that you know are probably gonna be blowouts you know sit him at halftime get young guys in get them experience there's all kinds of ways to utilize a guy like tyron.....
if only that car crash didnt happen that would prob be erik williams, but Tyron is def rn the #1
on a decent bit of their runs philly was getting into the backfield to meet CMC but he just went around them
