News: PFT: Jerry Jones: Tony Pollard showed he's an outstanding weapon but it's back to Zeke next week

[jwitten82]

Pollard has never had more than 14 carries in a game.

Why? Because he becomes much less effective. He cannot carry a majority load week to week.

Zeke can carry the load but he's ineffective, so I'd rather get the most of Pollard while we can. Do you understand now, playboi?!?

 

[DenCWBY]

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

 

[terra]

I have said it before and I will say it again


SHUT UP JERRY!

This is one of the prime reasons this franchise will continue to fail ....... the owner decides the playing time of players.

"Cowboys owner and General Manager Jerry Jones has always believed Ezekiel Elliott is worth the enormous resources Dallas has poured into him"

The Cowboys' success is held back by the vanity of our GM who can't admit his mistakes and let the team move on from them.
See the tenure of Jason Garrett for more details.

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

Thank you Coach Jones. It's always great to know you have the pulse of the team.

 

[Diehardblues]

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

The coaching staff probably doesn’t think that way but it doesn’t matter if it goes against Jethro’s instincts or priorities.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

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.

Zeke is at best a middling NFL RB.

Wake up to reality.

Blah blah blah, Jerry never saw a microphone he doesn't talk into. I'm thinking this is all fluff and Zeke will come back to pound the defense and Pollard will be the home run threat and backbreaker. We're good, jerry just loves Jerry and the sound of his voice.

 

[Diehardblues]

This is one of the prime reasons this franchise will continue to fail ....... the owner decides the playing time of players.

I’m not sure why we’d expect him to bench his 90 million $ RB.

Hopefully the coaching staff will insert Pollard more . But it’s a fine line they must dance around or a call from sky box could come down.

Remember last year when Zeke was hurt and McCarthy wanted to rest him , Zeke wanted to play so he played. Wonder who made that call? Lol

 

[CATCH17]

Zeke is at best a middling NFL RB.

Wake up to reality.

Yep. He’s an ok runningback at best at this point.

 

[Diehardblues]

Yep. He’s an ok runningback at best at this point.

We can still use him in certain situations if he’s healthy . He provides a pound and ground compliment to Pollards explosiveness and big play opportunity,

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

Anyone else see how Zeke's career is trending?

I really am surprised you are able to figure that out.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

I really am surprised you are able to figure that out.

I'm surprised you're still married to your sister.

 

[Kingofholland]

I think Zeke is well liked in the building and there's a lot of good things he does on the field as a power North-South runner. Pollard is just more dynamic and I hope Jerry sees that too.

 

[terra]

I'm surprised you and your sister are still married.

Nah, I have somewhat higher standards than you do

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

Nah, I have somewhat higher standards than you do

Oh, so you married the prettiest of your sisters, which is to say you married the one with three front teeth.

 

[terra]

Oh, so you married the prettiest of your sisters, which is to say you married the one with three front teeth.

i Understand you married a real winner; no front teeth and a wart on the nose.

 

[Oz-of-Cowboy-Country]

If y'all are surprised by this then y'all are more gullible than I thought. Jerry's preference between the two has been known for quite some time now. What...y'all thought McCarthy was in charge? lol
