Much ado about nothing!

I think Jerry should either shut his mouth or explain thrings better, but this does not effect the team at all.

Jerry should have said Tony is a great back, but Zek is ready to go. They both are valuable members of our team and will see plenty of playing time.

The players realize the team needs both backs.

I will say these stupid comments may effect Pollard’s desire to, leave or stay in, Dallas.

I didn't read anything there where Jerry said Zeke is getting all the carries when he returns. He was expressing confidence in his starting RB, and while he may hope Zeke gets the majority of the carries, I think he's at the point of trusting his coaches to decide who plays how many snaps.

Lol more reaction to what the drunk uncle says…..pollard will get 15 touches moving forward. It’ll be a 50/50 or 60/40 split like it should be

All Jerry said was that Zeke is the lead back.
Doesn't mean Pollard isn't going to play or have his carries reduced.
The Cowboys will handle it like they're doing now.
Zeke will likely soften the Packers defense enough for Tony to slash them.
Skip Peete already told us Pollard can't handle a heavy load.
And that's okay.
No story here.

The problem is. Why is Jerry speaking about coaching decisions at all?

I really hope the coaching staff does not think that way.

Pollard maxes out at 25-30 snaps.

A lead back who can't take the majority of the snaps is not a lead back. Wake up to reality.
