Twitter: Pollard 3 starts without Zeke

[CATCH17]

I say just kick Zeke to the curb. Get it over with and release us from this hell.

You BRILLIANT NFL strategists would give zeke his 10 carry fair share.....while complaining about not living up to the contract. REALLY?

You'd hate Emmitt to with that kind of strategy. You swear to god Keellen Moore is an idiot but Kellen has given Zeke fair shot to be the power back he is?

#2 change of pace backs get 10-12 carries. Power backs want that in the 4th qtr. If you don;t understand this concept....here's your sign.

Zeke hasn’t been a productive runner in years. He just gets large volume and nearly all RBs do decent with large volume.

When was the last game he g(Zeke) got large volume?


When Pollard gets rushing leader three years in a row..... we'll talk.

 

[conner01]

He’s doing well. But they need Zeke. The needed him a lot yesterday so they chose to throw the ball too much to give him breathers. Moore is the reason this team won’t win a SB.

For this year we need Zeke for sure
For the following year I’d be all for keeping pollard and moving on from Zeke and it also will save a lot of money

Actual production > Zeke’s mythical abilities that can’t be quantified.

It’s a fact that he’s a very tough inside runner who can push the pile and wear on a defense.

 

[Coogiguy03]

Huh???

Malik Davis had 38 yds on 5 carries. They didn't need Zeke. They needed to stick with the run.

POST OF YOUR LIFE!!

Cool. I prefer production.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Pollard > Zeke

Please cut Zeke and draft a RB in the 3rd!

Use Zeke's money and first 2 picks to fix the run defense and OL.

 

[john van brocklin]

Resign him and cut Zeke

Now let’s look at Zekes starts without pollard.

 

[CowboysExchange]

You said he hadn't had a game like that in a long time. I didn't say Zeke was regularly putting up strong games, but it hasn't been a long time since he had one.

And I'm not saying Zeke is special at this point. Clearly he is not as effective as he was earlier in his career. But that doesn't mean he has no value, or that a guy with 7 career carries is the better choice to pair with Pollard.

As for pass protection, anyone who watches the games can easily see Zeke is the better player. As for receiving, Zeke has been good in that role his entire career, but Pollard is better, so he's the one getting the receiving opportunities out of the backfield.

One of the things I've noticed is teams are predicting when Pollard is gonna get the target based upon substitution and it spells alot of his plays

 

[Mr_437]

absolutely. Guys get hurt, dinged up. You need 3 guys each week if your a serious run team.

It shows commitment, exactly.

 

[KJJ]

Cool. I prefer production.

Moving the chains in short yardage situations leads to production and points.

Moore is the dumbest offensive coordinator in the NFL, period. He's the real cancer on our offense.

 

[CATCH17]

Moving the chains in short yardage situations leads to production and points.

Yep. Done us a lot of good since Zeke has gotten here considering we almost always lose to good teams.

 

[Section446]

Zeke is the poster child for what's wrong with the offense. This team can't win until he and Dak are gone.

 

[Cmac]

Zeke is the poster child for what's wrong with the offense. This team can't win until he and Dak are gone.

.....that's the same thing I thought years ago with TRomo and JWitt.

 

[MyFairLady]

I was told that this would not be possible without first beating the defense into submission buy handing it off to the blob 20 times for 80 yards.

 

[blumayne38]

Huh???

Malik Davis had 38 yds on 5 carries. They didn't need Zeke. They needed to stick with the run.

No they needed zeke. He hits his marks and runs the clock.

 

[glimmerman]

Typical team. We know the formula and come across a team they really want to beat so we go pass happy. If we stuck with the run we should have been able to close that game. I just want to know if it’s Moore calling the passes. Or if Dak is changing the plays at the line..

 

[stinkface]

We just needed less interceptions, which means we needed to run the ball more. GB wasn't stopping any of our backs. One holding call on us and one pass interference not called on them is why we lost the game. Folks, gotta remember GB sucks.
