I bet you keep a scrapbook.
He has said so many dumb things over an over again, they are impossible to forget. This offseason alone he posted over and over again how Pollard couldnt handle short yardage, GL, and pass blocking. He also predicted Pollards injury would be a problem.

So far through one game he is wrong on all of it. 0-4

I guess I don't understand your obsession with Pollard. He played one game, was under 100 and didn't look as explosive. So if I were to gamble, I wouldn't bet he improves.

5ypc, money on short yardage and GL, 2 tds.

Thats a very good game doing the dirty work he supposedly couldnt do.

First game back, pouring rain, tyler smith out.

I would bet he improves. Will be tough against the jets D though.

Dont forget it was a blowout so pollard wasnt in the game in the 4th. No need to over use Him.

What is your problem?
I give Pollard props and all you can do if make crap up...still.....

Do us all a huge favor and stop responding to my posts. You just embarrass yourself over and over.
That's his entire schtick.

What a blowhard.

It didn’t look like Pollard has lost any explosiveness to me. It was a very messy, wet field which effects everyone, so it was kind of hard to tell anyway.

He looked fine to me. There is zero reason that injury he had should change a thing. It wasn’t an ACL or Achilles, it was a high ankle sprain and a fracture in his leg bone. Neither of which will make a runner slower once he’s healed. The doctors actually said the high ankle sprain would take longer to recover from than the fracture.

Anyone ever seen a high ankle sprain make a player slower once he comes back? No.

Exactly……..anyone that thought that injury was going to affect pollard had no clue about the injury. Or they were just interested in continuing to bash pollard. we all know who that is.

Stop whining, blasting? Grow up. 100 yards a game is the standard. He was decent. I didn't suggest he sucks. FFS, everyone gets all bent if you don't post hugs 24/7. I didn't mention injury. He didn't pop off the snap. He is what he is.

HIs foot was pointing backwards.

Odds are he's lost a step.

#37 running him down from behind doesn't look good.

I'm glad we have a play caller now who understands what it means to let the defense rest and actually run the ball. You don't have to go for a home run every play. You know just basic football 101. That was lost on Kellen moore. He wanted everyone to see what a genius he was and it came across as the complete opposite.

Here is the video. After the injury you can clearly see his feet are both pointing forward.

Where the hell did you get that it was pointing backwards? That is just… not true.

It is just like people saying he will never be the same… where did that come from?

That was a dirty play and a crime against humanity. You don't do that to another player.

How many players on the Cowboys run at 4.3-4.4, currently on the roster? I would think 3-4.
