File this with I'm not showing my hand stack

Sounds like a yes to me

Feed the hot hand, it's crucial that we get this running game on track. If we can do this I feel we can have a deep playoff run.

He does need more touches, I like Pollard but Rico needs more change of pace opportunities.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

He just downplayed Cooks targets and you saw what happened. Rico will get more Carrie’s this week.

....Rico, always seems a few jukes away from breaking a big one.

I would have said, McCarthy Sucks, if he had said, It's a process!!

I need more information for my fantasy team.

So, Pollard is now getting the Zeke treatment. The second is pushing him for playing time, and the fan base here is touting his change of pace as starting quality. At lease some are.

"We have to see what our young guys can do."

That bromide never gets old for some at the Zone.

Pollard doesn't need any more than 15 carries, max. As long as we have another RB.

Falls back into providing survivability by sustainability...

Dowdle should be the goal line/short yardage guy either way and he definitely earned more carries.

What's that old sports saying ---"Players \ Coaches don't pay any attention to what the media /fans think."

He's not getting the Zeke treatment, this should be a committee or hot hand approach. That should've been the plan from the start. Pollard has 1 100 yard game while Dowdle averages 5 carries. That shouldn't be the case.

Sometimes, especially at RB, it's a young man's game. Pollard is still good but it's nice to have a backup with fresh legs.

Fans said that Rico wasn't good in training camp. They claimed that Dallas needed another veteran back and Dallas needed to sign a veteran kicker.

 

[CATCH17]

I’m a big Pollard guy and I think 95% of his struggles have nothing to do with him.


With that said.. Get them both touches early and play the hot hand. Simple.
