Pollard tackle before the endzone

[RomoIsGod]

They gambled on him and they lost. Rico should be the starter

They did the same when they let go Demarco Murray. Well didn't resign him and stuck with dumb dumb Joseph Randle.

So many on here scoffed at the idea Pollard wouldn't be the same guy coming off a leg injury. I was told it was t that bad, clean break yada yada yada. He had potential but is just a jag now.

 

[TrailBlazer]

I'm so glad Dallas didnt resign Pollard long term, that wouldve been another huge mistake if he had been. That tackle by db at the half yard line was embarrassing. That play isn't getting talked about enough

That was truly pathetic. I feel like 90 percent of all runningbacks in college and pro wouldve scored on that play

Blaming Pollard is lazy.


Its the blocking.

He showed poor effort at the goal line today but our run game sucks because we can’t block well.

Has nothing to do with Pollard.

The biggest problem is Ferg is in the way and Pollard runs right into him.

 

[kumizi]

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

Did you watch the first drive when he couldn’t run it in from the 1 with a wide open half of the field?

he outruns that guy to the pylon last year instead of cutting it back inside. This play is a clear cut example of the quickness/explosiveness he has lost.

The OL has it's problems but Pollard does too. He had a chance to score and didn't put in the effort. That is 100% him at the most important thing a running back can do.

If he didn't stay so high he scores. He's not a goal line back..

 

[jblaze2004]

I wouldn't resign him. We can get a rookie back that is more hungry to prove themselves then the effort Tony Pollard has given this year.

Eventually Dallas will learn you do not pay running backs. Unless its a guy like CMac. Tony is nothing like CMac. CMac scores on that play. Tony no vision Pollard looks like he is running not to get hurt.

Good point. I thought Cooks should have cut it back inside on the play right before that. He may not have scored, but he might have. At the least he could have gotten a couple more yards

Ferg was going for the block, he missed but that was just a weak attempt by Pollard, he got tackled high by the db and went down, no excuse

Yeah I was like why is he so high? Like do we not teach the RB's to lower their shoulder? At the very least he should of tried to run to the pylon and take the contact and try to drag the DB in the endzone. Our RB's seams so weak. CB's always tackle them easily.

No vision. He cuts and runs right into Ferg smh. Him running into Ferg helped keep him from the endzone.

You mean the play I posted before this response from you? Where is runs into Ferg?

Or he could have thought he could get in just as he ran the play. There is no evidence to believe it's an example of anything.

 

[JBS]

Yes let’s blame pollard for the blunder on the one yard line..dumb

 

[SlammedZero]

I do find this whole thing funny though. Evvvvverrrrrrybody was chasing Zeke out of town last season and propping Pollard up to be that dude. Now that he is........now we're chasing him out of town. lol

Weird how that works.

 

[Cmac]

I'm thinking some on here are regretting the disrespect shown to Zeke on this board.
