Pollard looks great

[TwentyOne]

He is doing exactly what he was doing in the preseason. He is patient, hard to get a clean arm tackle or hit on and very explosive in his first step.

We signed up Zeke for the next 4 years and I like that. But Pollard is showing that he is arguably better at getting more yards when he has a crease. I am not saying he's better, so don't jump the shark, but he has got some serious get up and go.

I like him a lot so far. He looks so fluid. Nice cuts. Very patiend and is able to break tackles.

His td run was a thing of beauty. I cant wait to see more from him.

The only negative play he had was the screen. He should have waited longer to let the blocks develope.

I see why the coaching staff was hyping him so much. He's an impressive looking RB. Best backup we've had since Barber in '06.

I'm not stunned at all

Depth is always good and when you have a player who can start, playing in a backup position, the "next man up" mentality works.

Yep, but since I started Saints week thread, I decided to put it here.

We might have a RB controversy on our hands by midseason if the rook keeps this up.

We have no idea what his upside is but we do know that Zeke is going to limit what he can do in this offense.

If Pollard got a Kamara type workload he might produce at a Kamara like level.

I'm just saying he's not as smooth a runner as Kamara. Doesn't mean he can't be productive or have a mini-effect on the Cowboys like Kamara did for the Saints splitting time with Ingram. But many early comparisons here had Pollard being similar to Kamara, so you'll forgive me if I had my expectations up and prematurely held fast to that comparison.
