Video: Skip & Shannon - Zeke vs Pollard

[CATCH17]

Also, some other discussion about our run game.

Imo, Dallas is a much better team with a balanced offense and a lead. Stop asking the QB to carry the team and find our balance

Also, Pollard > Zeke. It’s not even close at this point.

Another thing.. Just because you want to run the ball doesn’t mean you have to be so obvious on first down. You can playaction without being good at running the ball. This is proven and we did it against Tampa. Don’t get predictable by just running right up the middle on first down.

Cant have balance when your running game sucks. If you cant find balance, like most teams, then you play to your strength. Which is Dak and the passing game. Spread out the offense and mix in the hurry up.

I hope Shannon and Skip aren’t pimping Pollard. I would hate that I agree with them on something.

 

[Ranching]

Howdy Doody and Mr. Ed are just trying to get rating....they won't get them from me.

 

[conner01]

The backup RB always looks better

At least they use facts to back up their opinion.

It’s pretty clear we’re a much better team with balance.

 

[Batman1980]

Pollard is the more talented player but he's a scat back, you can't use them for more than 10-15 touches a game. Zeke could be used for the other 10-15 touches a game but it would be a fantastic waste of money to make him the back-up. Probably why it hasn't happened yet.

 

[RaZon]

When ya have a RB with the speed Pollard has ya do all you can to get the guy out in space, forget banging a line Zeke can do that. They haven't used Pollard right yet, and it really is.....???? The guy is a WR at RB so play that angle.

For 160 million I'll not only ask but DEMAND he does!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jerry believes in using the guys he pays big bucks to, it isnt about who should be starting or who is better.
plus if he let pollard be the starter he would look stupid for paying zeke so much. Thing is he already looks stupid for that , he just cant see it.

as for running the ball more and the way they run it, that is on mike, but mostly kellen.
Like sharp said as soon as they get behind a td they shift to mostly pass plays.

It is also about game plans, and they probably use rankings and stats to decide if they will run or pass on a team, and since all that means nothing
to how a team will play you that day, their game plans often suck.

Zeke still needs to be used imo. He’s still a hard runner but running into tight boxes aint it.

I want Pollard starting drives and if we get some momentum built then you can let Zeke take over.

Coming in at the start of a drive vs a fresh defense on our side of the field is just a waste of a play right now.

 

[Aven8]

I blame boy wonder. He’s too impatient. The thing I loved about 2014 with Demarco is you got behind but you didn’t give up on the run. They used the run to get back into the game. He panics and scraps it. Plus he doesn’t run off tackle to save his life unless it’s some end around mumbo jumbo!!!

Why is Zeke faster?

 

[RaZon]

Why is Zeke faster?

How did you get that from what I said?

 

[Cowpolk]

Not from what you said just from facts no insult intended Zeke is a lot faster than Pollard

He should be used just like CM with the Panthers.

 

[RaZon]

He should be used just like CM with the Panthers.

I would never run Pollard anywhere close to the line, he would always be out in space ,he's no banger.

 

[Cowpolk]

Yep Hambrick is a prime example of that he even stated that he was better than Emmitt

 

[noshame]

The bottom line.
We're back in the same boat as the last couple years.
If Zeke isn't cut, he's not effective . We've all seen this. Jerry will see it too.

Jerry would not allow that, even if it worked. Jerry wants the guy he is paying 15 mil a year to get most of the carry's and be the guy who starts.
otherwise he looks stupid for paying him all that money. he wants to get his moneys worth out of zeke even to the detriment of the team.

Plus dak and zeke are buddies, so dak probably tells them he wants zeke over pollard.
