Twitter: Looks like Pollard won't play

[MountaineerCowboy]

If you call the plays the way you want to call them....they will.

first 2 drives you run the same up the gut play 3 times in a row. Stalled.

Then you stop using him, complain because he had a bad game. Washed up.

You musta hated Emmitt too. 4.2 ypc. really SUCKS!

Zeke...4.4 ypc.

You guys and your downplaying literal legends and champions to prop up your fav players is always funny to see.

You're like the Dak fans that smack talk about Aikman for not having crazy numbers to defend Dak.

Just go on and say Zeke is better than Emmitt. You know you wanna.

I like Davis but he and Pollard are not comparable.

Agreed. I think Davis is more of a tweener, tween Pollard and Zeke. They should make his number 20.5.

 

[big dog cowboy]

WE HAVE TO GET USED TO PLAYING WITHOUT HIM HE WON'T BE HERE NEXT YEAR ANYWAYS

I'll take that bet.

And why are you screaming?

 

[RonnieT24]

Ronnie, see people calling you Ronald (which is my first name), is your first name Ronald, just asking because if someone called me Ronnie, I would not be answering them and then politely tell tell them Ronnie is not my name.

No my name is not Ronald.. My mama named me Ronnie.. and I don't respond to some grade school chump trying to permutate my name to get a rise. It hasn't worked.. doesn't work and never will work. I'm here to talk football not play the dozens..

They don't need to be. The point is that you can plenty of production from that position at a discount rate. If you want someone more dynamic than Davis you can find one in the middle rounds of the draft.

Actually Davis is the smallest of the three. He has not had the benefit of a full offseason of training table and weight room. Watch him be 10 pounds heavier next year .. Hopefully he doesn't lose any quickness in the process as that is always the danger when you bulk up. But he can't play in the NFL at 205 pounds unless he wants to move to cornerback.

I agree; however, Pollard has that extra gear that few have in this league. I don't think Pollard will command top $$ at the position. It's clear about 10 carries a game and a mix in the passing game is his sweet spot.

People say this a lot but the NFL rushing leader board is full of guys taken in the first two rounds. Right now I think there's only one who was taken outside of that I believe is Pollard and he was a 4th rounder. Point being.. the myth of getting a great back in the middle rounds is just that.. a myth. Yes you can find good rotational role player type backs later.. but true play makers? I'm not so sure.

More so afraid of watching drives stall out from trying to make Zeke happen.

The only thing stalling drives is Moore.

Why do you think we need a league leader? Pollard is a rotational player himself.

#1 OFFENSE IS THE NFL THOUGH!!!!

 

[visionary]

Time for Davis to demonstrate that we don't have to pay Pollard.

ok that was funny

 

[jazzcat22]

Hope they keep it up, score points, and the defense gets back on track.

 

[G2]

This is what I am thinking also. See what Davis can do in the same role as Pollard.

I think Davis is more of a pounder like Elliott.

 

[Coogiguy03]

I'll take that bet.

And why are you screaming?

Because you don't hear to well these days!! Lol

hes UFA

some team will pay.

he will get a huge bonus/gtd $$$.

think 4 years / 60 million, with 25-30 up front.

Then they bail if he’s washed after 2 seasons. He will be 26 soon.

Dallas can tag, but will cost $$$$ for one season.

You tag Pollard. Cut bait with the noggin.

 

[Nova]

It should be a Malik Davis heavy game anyway

You don't necessarily need a "league leader" but you do need great players.. Great players are capable of being a league leader if given enough opportunities. You don't have to shoot somebody in the head with a .44 magnum to know that it will "blow your head clean off." Having a guy with that kind of ability on your team allows you to hold that threat over defenses. That opens up your passing game.. Having a guy like Pollard keeps a defense from being able to pack it inside for fear of him taking it out to the edges for a big play. Having a guy like Zeke means they have to keep bodies in the box or he will grind them down to paste 4-5-6 yards at a time. Elite weapons allow your offense to dictate terms. I like having multiple guys for the defense to worry about.

 

[baltcowboy]

Hopefully they don't give the anchor Zeke more carries than usual and instead just use Davis as if he was Pollard when it comes to the running game.

Zeke is trying to get a thousand yards. Remember last season vs the Eagles in a similar type game. I expect CeeDee to get is 10 catches to get over 100 as well.
