Yep, he should've scored on that play. Stood straight up and tried to dance in when he needed to lower a shoulder and get in.

That's why they went with Luepke the next play, and we know how that went. Tony is free to go after this season.

That was inexcusable, most primary backs get in there. I hope he isn’t back next season, will want too much $$$ for a #2.

He’ll be relatively cheap..

I can’t see him getting more than 5 million a year and he’s got a season or 2 before he’s done anyways like most RB’s.


Just keep drafting them though. There are stud RBs every year that just need opportunity.

Cant believe that was basically the difference in the game.

And to top that all off.... his effort on that play forced Leupke in the game, and we know what happened there.

Who cares how cheap he is. There are 30 rbs in the draft next year who are better then him right now. I'd draft one in the 3rd round and move on. We need a Mostert or veteran goal line back from free agency.

Pollard is a all around threat so he’s a little bit more difficult to replace because he’s so good at everything.

I’m always down to draft a RB but the blocking up front is just so bad that I’d like to see them
Add to that unit.:

Something has to be done about run blocking.

He’s been disappointing this year and I was a big Pollard guy. Not sure if they told him to gain weight to handle the load of being the primary back or if it’s the injury, but he’s missing that juice/elusiveness he used to have.

Pollard is as average as average gets. He does nothing to move the needle. I agree our run blocking is bad but he does absolutely nothing to help it. Goal line or midfield.

You have lost your mind. What games have you been watching. He has been sliow, extremely inconsistent, and damn near invisible in the passing game the only thing he does better this year than last is pass protect. Honestly 88 runs harder out of the backfield than Pollard does.

Some would say, take the comp pick. Then ask, why pay him that when you can draft a RB as good on day 2 and have him 4 years on a rookie deal.

Since the bye week that isn't true. Like any other RB, he needs holes to run through.
