Jerry: “We go as Zeke goes. He’s as important as he was before the game.”

[Rayman70]

Jerry, for the sake of everyone's sanity and digestive health,

SHUT UP!

AMEN! The man is senile AND ignorant.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

The difference in speed and ability to change directions is undeniable. Pollard can get to and through holes that Zeke can't. As demonstrated today, Zeke leaves a lot of yards on the table. He also isn't the bruiser he was a few years ago, blowing people back. The whole "wear teams down" thing isn't a thing anymore.

If Dallas does something this year, and they might, it will be in spite of Zeke not because of him.

You must have missed his TD last week where he bulldozed the goal line.

Stubborn old man

could not agree more
Zeke still is the Heart of this offense.
that said Pollard just earned more touches-moving forward.

Stubborn old man

Coach Jones has spoken......... nobody should wonder why we haven't sniffed a super bowl since the 1995 season.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

Oh btw does anyone still want to use the dumb analogy about Pollard being Joseph Randle or Troy Hambrick?

He’s a backup for the Cowboys so we have to relate him to someone else that’s played here he couldn’t be totally different than them.

Until he shows he can do it for the season...yes.

Or does Tony need your protection and is exempt from the "show me" part of all this?

Nothing wrong with this...don't let people bully ya about it.

The offense is just fine without Zeke. He is just a dude making a lot of money off his reputation at this point, and Jerry will die on his own sword defending his moronic decision to give him that contract.

 

[DallasDW00ds0n]

Not for nothing this is the same guy who said

“Zeke who?”

 

[CouchCoach]

No offense but what do you want him to say. Pollard the starter. never reveal your hand in the nfl.

How about SAYING NOTHING?

 

[MyFairLady]

That 54 yard Pollard TD on third and short is a tackle for a loss with Zeke all day long.

 

[Staubacher]

I agree the team goes as Zeke goes. He went to the bench and they scored 49 points.

 

[phildadon86]

I called it. I knew Jerry was going to talk Zeke for whatever reason, yes we know he paid Zeke and he’s not a billionaire like other owners so the dead money hurts this old man like none other. Just stop it already with Zeke. It’s getting weird already.

Not a billionaire like the other owners?

What are you talking about?

 

[bewp7]

zeke 15 carry a game

pollard 15 carry a game

no problem

this is the most dumb controversy ever lol

keeping ur rb more fresh is a good thing haha

u can even use both at the same time!

 

[kevm3]

I don't mind Jerry's answer. Really, he shouldn't be in front of the cameras period, but this answer is better than him creating some controversy at the RB position and creating tension in the locker room.

Not necessarily, but something intelligent.

 

[Pantone282C]

Translation: "I'm paying this dude too much money, mayne. Nahimtawkinbout? Quit hating the south, we getting paper in da south"

Yep, confirmation bias. He paid him a bunch, therefore, he deserves to play a bunch.

 

[CATCH17]

Until he shows he can do it for the season...yes.

Or does Tony need your protection and is exempt from the "show me" part of all this?

Zeke isn’t even good for a season anymore.

I don’t want Pollard by himself but he needs the role he had yesterday and Zeke needs to do what Maliek Davis did.

 

[AyeAtey]

Zeke's the straw that stirs Jerry's Johnny Walker Blue.

I hope it's Blue and not Red or Cutty, those would be make to speak like he does.

 

[doomsday9084]

Anecdotes. One time Cooper Rush threw the ball deep. Does that mean he has a good arm?

https://www.pro-football-reference.com/years/2021/rushing_advanced.htm

Yards after contact:
#5 Tony Pollard (#6 last year)
#22 Zeke (#37 last year)

Attempts per broken tackle
#13 Tony Pollard (#38 last year)
#33 Zeke (#44 last year)

Early on in his career Zeke was fantastic. He practically carried the team as a rookie. Unfortunately that guy is gone and Jerry doesn't see it.

Cole Beasley tried to tell ya'll and some of ya wouldn't listen.

“You automatically assume the best players in the NFL always play. Then you get there, and you realize it’s not always the case. I wondered what I was working for. The coaches keep telling me I’m undrafted, I’m small, take no days off, I have to earn it every day. And I felt like I was, but maybe I’m still not going to get it because this other guy is making $8 million, and they have to justify signing him.”

He ain't wrong
