More Dowdle less Pollard

[EPL0c0]

Running behind the same OLine:

Pollard is averaging 4.0yds/carry
Dowdle is averaging 3.8yds/carry

More Dowdle won't magically fix things.

It's either the OLine or the scheme/playcalling

Pollard: 1st 3 games: 62carries 264yds 2TDs (4.2yd avg) (88yd/game)
Pollard: Last 5 games: 58carries 210dyds 0TDs (3.6yd avg) (42yd/game)

Dowdle: 1st 3 games: 17carries 71yds 0TDs (4.1yd avg) (23.6yd/game)
Dowdle: Last 5 games: 19carries 62yds 0TDs (3.2yd avg (12.4yd/game)

Zeke and Pollard has turned into Pollard and Dowdle. Not even a full season and the Pollard pom poms cease to wave.

This Pollard experiement is terrible. The man needs to be given 10 touches a game. He looks slower than Dowdle half the time, and can't push the pile.

Pollard is a good to great player when used int he right role- right now, this is not it. Give Dowdle some more touches.

Totally agree! Pollard just isn’t the same back that he was before his injury and I was really hoping they would bring in Derek Henry to let Pollard go back to being what he is best at! Dowdle runs hard and would definitely help loosen up the defense for Pollard!
