Twitter: The plan is for Pollard to get the majority of the touches today

[Staubacher]

What a horrible use of $$ and cap space that Zeke contract has been. Not only diminishing returns on the field but injuries keeping him from playing.

So stupid of Jerrah to cave on Zeke's holdout. Hopefully his will be his last season here.

 

[Tabascocat]

There really is no reason to play Zeke today. Another week of rest will be more beneficial than 10 carries this afternoon.

 

[Jipper]

Is it

Brace for zeke!

or

Brace, for zeke.

 

[J12B]

Pollard shouldn't get more touches because Zeke is injured.

Pollard should get more touches because he's better.

Malik Davis looked great, just sit Zeke and eat the paycheck Jerry

You know Jerry is playing coach here, he has to sign that 1.2M game check

 

[morat1959]

But Malik doesn’t sell jerseys.

Nailed it!

Cowboys are probably going to need at least 30 to win today. Vikes have won 7 straight and have averaged 28 pts a game in those 7 games.

Watch Cousins look like Montana today.., and Jefferson like Rice. This thing is not gonna look pretty if Dallas cannot stop the run again.

Good

Good to see you back!

on top of that we could have used Pollard way more on his rookie contract but only got this production out of him on his last year and he's about to get paid and turn into the next Alvin Kamara...our OC hasn't even unlocked the screen game with him yet imagine what another staff would do with his speed

 

[Captain-Crash]

well, the jokes on pollard and zeke, dak said he trusts his arm and is going to throw the whole game. 50-plus throws.
over or under?

Or a defense that can live up to all its early season hype.

 

[Coogiguy03]

This is like 3 years late!

 

[Coogiguy03]

Yeah…I would rather see a healthy Malik (who avg 7 yds a carry last week) than knee brace Zeke.

Might help us win, why would we want that

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

Somewhere SteveTheCowboy is weeping in his Zeke underoos right now.

 

[Coogiguy03]

This is now a huge game for us. Quick turn around. Stop the run. And we need to run and play action.

YES THE SAME BORING COVERED BOOTLEG PASS, come out and do good against Minnesota then fall flat the next game!!

 

[Coogiguy03]

You have no faith in our defense, Robert.

Have you seen it the last few weeks, sheesh lol nobody has confidence

 

[RonnieT24]

I think you meant 2016 Zeke....

A healthy Zeke did average ~7 ypc against Philthy... so maybe we don't have to go back that far.. But you probably didn't see that game as it was blacked out in all but a couple of markets.

 

[RonnieT24]

Yeah....would like to see Malik playing too. Hopefully they will give him some touches.

Davis has good burst and is a natural with the ball under his arm. He's just not very big (205) as NFL backs go these days so in situations where you need power he's not going to be much help. What he is though is a really good runner and receiver and while not very big he will stick his nose in there and block.

Yep and they quit using him and running the ball. For some reason in a big game they think they have to pass more. If you run you will start breaking longer runs then you play action later and the big pass plays are there. This is a big game so let’s see if they can resist.
