In my opinion he needs to be the focal point going forward for this playoff run. I realize these defenses we will face from here on out will be stout, but if we’re going to win, it will be through him. When he was the featured back when Zeke was ailing he proved he can do it. Use this kid as this might be his last hoorah as a Cowboy.
Will they do it is the question?
Umm , its not about any one player my man..TEAM , that starts in the trenches,
first and foremost, that OL needs to be back healthy and at normal positions outside of Steele.
then yes establish the run but im using all 3 backs early and often but want to see those pays we saw in the MN game, zeke and Pollard both on the field and pollard streaking out on screens and wheel routes and other rpos go to zeke in the run and many variations of it..
if that OL looks like they have thew last 3 games Barry sanders couldn't succeed , nor could Joe Montana. that fact that OL blew up that 9er game last playoff game 11 penalties, no run game etc etc you can not function playing like that,
so if we can play solid OL/DL we will succeeds, if not will be long game as TB12 will eat us alive with no pressure and our O will not make 19 points.
see game 1 if that how wwe show up , its over.. KM must learn from that game, stick with the run , not the vanilla run but remember zeke many games this year was averaging 4.5-5.5 ypc including the first half of game 1 and KM stopped running., zeke is as important and Malik also can add an element,
im telling that OL lets go out and push people around to start the game, establish the LOS and then we can pass off of it.
let focus on the team not skilled positions. pollard been great but hes also disappeared against the best DLs, go look about 4 games under 3 YPC.. if that OL is playing well both our RBs can eat.
