Kellen Moore: Pollard is a complete back

[Aven8]

I would like to throw them a wrench and have Malik take 5 snaps. SF plays three guys in the backfield. We should as well

i think Pollard is an average blitz blocker at this point. maybe he is not as woeful as he used to be, and improving,
but i'd hardly call him soundly reliable in that area as of now.

- As complete as Kellen would prefer to call Pollard, he is not and will not be dynamic and effective as he can be in Kellen's scheme and ultilzation, imo
Only thing i think i see that is an improvement that Kellen may be calling a bit more edge runs for Pollard in the run game.
Credit better edge blockers in Steele, Tyler and Ferguson in that sense.

- But Kellen doesn't seem to employ much " misdirection" deception in his designs - which makes it easier for the defense to predictable read- tip off and jump the play
for loss yardage and no gains.
And it continues to tick me off when i see unblocked tacklers coming in from the edge and backside to smack the RB in his tracks before he can even get to the line.

-And I have long fussed and griped about we could've been using Pollard in a similar sense as Christian McCaffrey in the passing game; but Kellen is limited
imagine creativity, .. . After finally trying out Pollard on a wheel route (alaVikes) he'll get impatient , throw it outta window or he tends to give up and just stick
to his predictable basis.

1M a year.
Used for goal line and 3rd and 4th and short.

That's not doing Zeke justice
For his sake, it'd be best to cut him so he can market himself to other NFL teams that would be interested as a FA. . .

 

[bigE79]

Oh, all the usuals are still vocal. A little more sheepish lately but they still post their feelings rather than facts about Zeke.

And they have the nerve to talk **** about Romo fans.. hypocrisy at it's finest

 

[CWR]

This is why I begged them to cut a deal last offseason. We could've got him for a very reasonable deal, but never once did I hear of us approaching TP to negotiate. Smh

 

[bigE79]

Oh yes.

I won a bet against one of em that was sure Zeke would easily have 1,000 rushing yards this season.

Those days are long gone unfortunately..good bet though...lol

 

[bigE79]

Once Zeke got his contract he got comfortable and got out of shape. Than things started to go downhill from there.

Zeke hasn't been that Zeke for 4 years now.

 

[bigE79]

Lol, nevermind Pollard. What’s comedy is when Zeke “goes off” for 65 yards on 19 carries they start heeeehawing like he went for 200+ yards.

The next time Zeke gets 100 yards in a game, he'll need 100 carries to get it..lol

 

[bigE79]

Because Pollard isn't the QB's best friend.

Game,set, match...no other reason then this.

Oh, all the usuals are still vocal. A little more sheepish lately but they still post their feelings rather than facts about Zeke.

More training camp videos of Zeke dodging stationary trash cans will send hearts a fluttering.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

Who?

YOU.

 

[Toro9]

Leaving no excuse for retaining Zeke next year.

Yeah I don't see Zeke returning unless it's for a very team-friendly deal. He's probably only got a couple years left IMO.

 

[gimmesix]

If they cut him he would be designated post June 1 and would have $5.82 million in dead money and save $10.9 million on June 2, 2023. Dead money isn't anything new or anything they try to avoid when it's time to move on.

That is true that they could split it over two years if they want.

 

[shabazz]

I would rather let him go and pick another RB in the 3rd or 4th round. Either a speed back or a thumper.

it would be great if Malik Davis could fit that bill and become part of the 53 man roster if Zeke isnt resigned.

I know his 40 time isn't great but he caught quite a few passes at Florida so we know he’s got that skill set.

 

[T-RO]

Keep Zeke as a short yardage back, at a minimal salary.

That's not a contractual/logistical option.

 

[Chuck 54]

They better tag him in the offseason then.

No tag. Sign him to a fair but friendly deal or let him walk. Do not go down the big second contract thing again with a RB.

 

[Shane612]

Tony Dorsett: 1007 yards 1977.
Tony Pollard: 1007 yards 2022.
Coincidence?

 

[Bob-Lillys-War]

Moore should start going to interviews , he should get the HC spot somewhere else.

 

[T-RO]

Tony Dorsett: 1007 yards 1977.
Tony Pollard: 1007 yards 2022.
Coincidence?

A SIGN FROM GAWD.

Jerry won't read it.

 

[stinkface]

I think we have to start next season with an elite running back and the only back on the team that's elite is Pollard. Zeke might catch lightening in a bottle tomorrow, but the days of that happening week in and week out are in the rear view mirror. I think there will be a bunch of backs coming out this spring that can replace what Zeke currently is. Father time undefeated always has been.
