Yeah another guy who aint built to be an every down back.. as evidenced by the fact that he has missed more games than he has played over the last three years.. You sure you wanna use him as your comp?

We'll Barkley has size what's his excuse? or all the other RBs around 220 that have missed. 15 pounds aint the factor here.

His use is trending in the right direction. Hopefully Moore keeps it up.

I love Zeke, but the debate is over. Pollard is the better back.

The Cowboys are now a perfect 12-0 when Pollard has more than 10 carries in a game.
Agree 100%
It's so obvious now.
BUT, remember Jerry wants Zeke to carry the load.

Pollard would not have scored that TD that Zek POWERED his way into the inzone! The Giants met Zek HARD and he just blew up the dude to get the score.

Not it isn't.. It's build and plain old fashioned toughness.. In Barkley's case it's his running style that dooms him. His ligaments cannot stand up to that amount of torque from jump cutting at 230 pounds. I said the day he was drafted that he would suffer at least once torn ACL in his career. Which he did.. and then he followed that up with a terrible ankle sprain. It will dog him throughout his career. All the more reason we need to appreciate Zeke.. but we won't.. so what the heck..

I've been saying this last year. Pollard is the better back at these stages in their careers. Pollard needs 15+ touches a game. Zeke needs around 10.

Great stat did not know that . Interesting FA yr coming up for the Memphis Tiger . If Jerry doesn’t pay him Kyle Shanahan or McVey will .

Pollard just can't take 20 carries a game for 17+ weeks. You would use him up in one season if he stayed healthy that long.

Wait, weren't most folks saying they had him in the game too much against Tampa Bay?
