Twitter: McCarthy: We're going to run the ball

Pollard is going to run for 150+ and 2 TDs

I think he used those exact words to his offensive coordinator after the opener this year.

 

[John813]

INB4 42 pass attempts and only 12 carries for Pollard.

Pollard is going to run for 150+ and 2 TDs

And Dak is going to be sacked 5 times

Should I pick up Malik Davis in fantasy?

And Dak is going to be sacked 5 times

Pollard has given up a total of 4 sacks his entire 4 year career.

Dang, they don't even try to hide the fact they have no faith in our passing game.
Well we better run and the defense once again has a bunch of T/O or we are losing to the Bears.

If the Cowboys fall behind by 14+ points (or Pollard gets injured) by Halftime, I guarantee McCarthy will be saying, "We're going to pass the ball!"

Pollard has given up a total of 4 sacks his entire 4 year career.

But on just 105 snaps though. I hope he can get better in that area, if so he can easily be a primary back. Every touch he gets feels like it could be a home run.

Would you be saying the same thing if Rush was QB? Would you be predicting a loss to the Bears?

24 / 7
This is about the running game, but yet here you are with the same old crap.

I wish we ran more delays and draws like we used to back with Romo when the OL struggled to move people.

 

[jazzcat22]

I hope he does.
And if Zeke does play, I hope they combine for this. Or more.

All I know is no matter what, there will be some wild posts and threads after the game, rather good or bad results.

The issue with losing Zeke is that you have a great pass protector and a guy who can get positive yards even if it's just 2-3. He pounds on the defense and then Pollard can come in gut them for a big gain. I don't know how effective Pollard will be with 20 carries and having pass blocking assignments since he'll be playing the majority of the game.

Pollard has given up a total of 4 sacks his entire 4 year career.

Ok let him play more

 

[jazzcat22]

Zeke will play, but we will get the......game time decision...... until then.

Elliot is normally in for protection if they leave a running back to pickup blitzes. So given that if Pollard is in on passing downs, the majority of the time he is out on a route, I am not sure how much of a ringing endorsement that really is.

But on just 105 snaps though. I hope he can get better in that area, if so he can easily be a primary back. Every touch he gets feels like it could be a home run.

If this number of protection snaps is correct, it just proves how misleading saying 4 sacks in 4 years really is. If we had a lineman giving up that sack percentage we would be calling for his head.

Agree on the home run part.
