Eagles overrated as usual.

I actually think Washington RB's are better than the Eagles.

I never been a fan of Barkley. Maybe his OL & QB or lack of held him back. But he is probably the best in the NFCE right now.

Dallas, I have no issue with them at #3, though they could be at #2, and really no difference in any of the teams.
Pick a team from a hat is the best way to put it.

It’s going to be Zeke. The fact he’s still unsigned means his contract will be pretty low, and he’s not sitting out 2023. If offers are comparable, there’s no reason he doesn’t come back.

What contender can offer more playing time? he already lives there, knows the team, Dak is his guy. It’ll be Zeke.
Zeke can sit back and wait for some RB to get injured, or nor be as productive as a team likes.
Wait it out through TC, or even a few games.

I don’t know why everyone’s freaking out. It’s numbers:
12 carries, 3 or 4 targets for Pollard. 15-16 touches—not a heavy load.
3-5 carries, 1 or 2 targets each for Davis, Jones, Vaughn

That 21-27 carries, 6-10 targets for the RBs. Add 20-23 to the WRs and TEs and 1 or 2 designed runs for Dak. 48-62 offensive plays. Does that sound about right?

I don’t think the Eagles have the best running back group but they have the best running attack because of Hurts. Danny Dimes can run too…dude had 700 yards rushing last season.
+1 our QB has turned into a statue and that is why we lose.

Cowboys have to many unknowns to be ranked hire than 3rd. But by years end they could be 1 or 2.

The OL is what will make the RB group special and thus I guess that's why philthy is first in a not so good NFCE RB group. As much as i like and feel Deuce and Malik will be good, they are young and you can't assume just yet. Pollard is coming off an injury and we will see if he is back to normal, physically and mentally. I am really more concerned about the OL than the RBs at this point. If the OL does its job, the RB will look mighty fine.

When is the last year the Super Bowl winning team had an All-pro running back? Or a top 5 backfield?

Not anytime recently

You’re so annoying how you offer nothing but want attention.
A RB who has never been a lead back, coming off a major injury now thrust into the lead role for a team whose HC said “we will be a run heavy team” , “should be enough” and if he’s not, it will be the fault of the OL

Even a half-wit with a basic understanding of football would not make the post that you did

That is why your post gets what it deserves, nothing

This is why you don’t offer anything because if you type more than a word you’re going to expose yourself which you do.

Mike McCarthy never said they were going to be a run heavy team lol.

You actually believing it lol. They signed Ronald Jones and drafted Vaughn and you think they will be run heavy lol.

I’m sure you think Cooks is here to be a blocking tight end lol.


Your posts are funny because you don’t even realize the irony of them. You literally just called yourself a half wit and don’t even know it lol.

People can read my posts and yours and decide who is the half-wit

Nobody is calling him now. I don’t think he has all that many options to where he can get too picky.

Many a player tried that and never got back in the league. Or if they did, they were quickly a rotational afterthought.

Pollard is not an every down back. If he is, Pollard will get injured. The 2nd running back is
a big question mark. Dallas may try to pick up a running back on cuts in the fall before season starts.
And you know this based on what exactly?

The running back position is a major weakness despite all the Pollard worship here. Yall about to find out RBs really aren't a dime a dozen.

It hinges on Pollards health. He will be great, but can he persevere through an entire season with an increased work load?

On the surface it adds up, but can Zeke fit into the new team dynamics? Can he go back to the same locker room he was a leader in, and be a back up? Can Zekes pride handle that?

I was getting ready to say "no WAY eaGles have best RBs"....

Then I started looking at all 4 teams.

Shheesh...the NFC East used to be king for running backs. Now it might be the worst division in the league. Injury prone Barkley is the best RB in the east I guess....but that's not saying much
