RB Hardy elevated from practice squad

[Risen Star]

No Pollard either.

 

[CT Dal Fan]

This likely means no Pollard, but the Cowboys need to have a third running back in the event he can't play. The smart move is calling up Hardy now. Imagine Justin Hamilton is next up.

 

[MichiganCowboyFan]

Throw the ball, throw the ball, throw the ball. Early downs and often. Stop running into bricks on 1st and 10 or 2nd and 10. THROW THE BALL.

Where's Ito Smith?

The need to draft a RB goes up by the week. We have no one outside Pollard who can run the ball. Our $90mill RB is a paperweight.

Where's Ito Smith?

I’d imagine splitting time between trying to learn the offense and getting into some type of football shape conditioning!

What? Draft a running back? Don't you know, as we've all been told by several "experts" on this site that running backs are a "dime a dozen"?

Drop by any small college campus and pick up a guy on some recreational league and he'll get you 1,500 yards and 15 tds a year.

Sheesh, how dumb are you?

 

[CouchCoach]

QB needs some in game practice anyway.

 

[visionary]

Until we call up Ito I know we’re not serious about winning

Pollard is a free agent anyway and Zeke's 2022 salary is guaranteed...

Where's Ito Smith?

Probably still getting familiar with assignments and stuff. He’s not really a between the tackles guy so he’d be a change of pace receiving back, which is traditionally a 3rd down role. If so he’s gotta be able to know his pass pro assignments and adjustments at the line.

I assume he’s mentally ready by next week but the teams familiarity with Hardy may relegate him to an emergency role.

 

[RaZon]

We need a big physical RB, think...

Iron Head Heyward
Pete Johnson
Jim Nance
Earl Campbell
Boobie Clarke
The Nigerian Nightmare
Tank Younger
Mack "Truck" Lee Hill
Larry Csonka
A.J.Dillon
John Riggins
Marion Motley
Cookie Gilchrist
Billy Joe
Marion "Barbarian" Barber
Herschel Walker
Thunder Thornton

I played against IronHead in HS. Talk about a man among boys. He rushed for over 200 yards against us. I made plenty of business decisions that game.

 

[KJJ]

Need to give these RBs some experience because we may have to count on one of them in the playoffs assuming we make them.

Yeah I think he'd be ideal to let TP rest. In fact Clements and Ito could potentially buy both Zeke and TP some much needed rest. I hope that's the plan. This staff has been very cautious with injuries I expect they do the same with our rbs.

I'd rather go younger than that.

I don't believe Pollard is a free agent until 2023.
