I'm assuming you meant "Prime Zeke", sorry but I just dont see it - even last year when we all saw he had the little burst back, he was still far from 2016 Zeke.
Zeke has never been the type of playmaker pollard is
Even at his best
But that’s not a knock on Zeke, he’s been a really good RB when healthy and availible
They just aren’t the same type of player
Just like sanders and smith weren’t the same types of player

Barber and Julius Jones.
That worked out.
Not to trash your idea.
But that happened.
Polard needs to be the shifty play maker type while Zeke needs to be the bruiser and short yardage guy.

We can't have success in the run game if Zeke is getting 15+ carries a game anymore. There needs to be more of a balance between him and Pollard at this point.

There's nothing wrong with a 2 RB system. I'm all for it.

Zeke can never get back to that.

It's simply not something that comes back, especially for RB's.

Zeke and Pollard need to be used the way USC used Reggie Bush and Lendale White.
Hopefully the OC has plans to do that this upcoming season.
