Teams cheat to middle against Zeke because he cannot make the corner. How did Pollard lead the league in YPC behind the sorry OL?

The corner he can make is down the street where he his directed to on his way out the door.
so you are saying our o line is great....and pollard has big holes up the middle...but not zeke.

I will ask AGAIN. When was the last time you saw o line down field looking to block?

Remember what he wore to his draft?
Ok.

I commented on that back then. I seriously think zeke has/had a disorder. I posted a pic if him eating confetti at the 2014 nat champ.
Just wired differently. And you hate him for it. Okay.

A) he HAS to take it, who else will pay him? Everyone knows he’s done.
B) seems like paying him at all is a waste of a roster spot that could be used on a cheap rookie with some upside and burst.

He's going to count as 11+ million against the cap no matter what we do. A pay cut does nothing to change that. How they choose to distribute that 11M is what is in question. The one thing we know for sure is it won't be more than that.
If we cut or trade him with a post June 1 designation we save 11m on our 23 cap.

If we trade him the acquiring team would have him on basically a 2 year 21m deal…which is still way too high. He has zero trade value.

I've hated this idiot ever since I saw him chewing with his mouth open like a brainless slob during his Albertson's "214" sandwich commercial with Dak

Giving Zeke $12 million for two years fully guaranteed in a sense means they are keeping him for “free” because that is the hit he will have on the salary cap if cut.

I don’t see any other team doing that so the number will fall from there based on what his agent uncovers at the combine.

I have not read this whole post, but there has been talk about this team needs a fullback? That's him.

I have no idea if he goes or stays, but IMO only...would wish he could take a drastic pay cut to stay with the team that he has helped build as of now, but with full back money, not runner money.

He's a knuckle head at times, but from what I hear he is a good guy in the locker room. That continuity stuff, he knows all the plays and his teammates. Then in the draft get some young guns to run around and have some fun with Pollard. Let the fullback clean up the mess. He is still a big muther(shut your mouth).

Keep in mind, Pollard is probably the worst pass protector in the NFL. Just awful. That matters.
You can keep your TE in for that purpose. No need to waste another roster spot if that's the main worry.

Pollard was ranked 9th in the league in pass blocking by some, so don't fall for the false narrative. Zeke doesn’t offer this anything a rookie can't do anymore. They mad at Tony cause Zeke is done.

Pollard can't handle a full wirk load I don’t think. Get a incentive based deal and get a 100 yards.

Guess Zeke will have to take less trips to Cabo, you know tighten the belt. Better yet, he can stay in Cabo.
