Pollard most explosive weapon

Turpin is the next player I want to see get involved. Maybe next year, right? Just thinking about it makes me dislike the Jalen Tolbert pick. He's going to be a progress stopper for Turpin, next year.

But a healthy dose of Pollard and Turpin could be the key to a NFCCG.

To me Turpin has to fit two roles to get receiver snaps.

1. He has to be great at disguising gadget plays, and gadget motion.
2. He has to be the quick possession receiver ala Amendola, Welker, Edelman and Woodhead. These guys saved Brady's bacon when he needed someone to win with three quick steps off the line. They could beat press coverage and make any pass to them feel like a long handoff.

If Turpin could win at these two roles consistently then he has a chance. But you better be a real smart player because those players were excellent at "read" routes that needed the QB and WR to be on the same page quickly.

He played great. Even Davis looked amped up, hope the O line continues to dominate and gets even better with Tyron.

Watch Zeke have a great game on thurday, things just roll weird with this offense.

It’s time to insert Pollard as our starter. He must receive more touches. We can still use Elliott in short yardage situations .

But Pollard in open field situations is almost unstoppable. And he hits the holes faster and can get around the corner with a quicker burst.

We must use him like a starter even if he doesn’t start. He’s a game changer.

wasnt he used like a starter today? More importantly, we must now give him a contract, because he is clearly about as explosive as any RB in the league.

I think he deserves to be officially the starter.

I’m afraid if we don’t start treating him like a starter he’ll pursue teams next year who will,

Well unless Zeke takes a huge pay cut, he wont be here next year, so it will be pretty clear that Pollard getting a new deal would mean he is the starter. That young kid also looks good. Dont even know his name.

If they cant reach a deal, dont be surprised if he isnt tagged next year.

Then why not start him now?

His stuff will never run it's course.
It's simple and to the point.
We eat it up.
And it's not going anywhere. This board depends on the guy who tried to build his board and got voted out.

We love that he can deliver Tweets faster than anyone else and offer sarcasm at every level.
I have been listening to it for over 15 years and it's not like you can have a serious conversation with it.

It is just a BOT.

I honestly think the usage in the backfield was perfect today. If I had to nitpick I’d like to see Davis more, but alas

Amendola, Welker, Edelman and Woodhead ..were Not 150 pounds as Turpin is ...

few games ago he was totally done by the end of the game right? or am I mixing him up ?
