8 carries for 22 yards? Really? This is the guy yall are insisting should replace Zeke? As I predicted the long layoff allowed Zeke to bring a little juice to the stadium tonight. Alas I think he will be hard pressed to be physically ready in 5 days to play on Sunday. F you Goodell. So instead of just one game on short rest we get two this year. F you Goodell. But I digress. Both backs ran hard tonight.. but again we see that Pollard is good for an occasional splash play but there's a lot of bone dry in between them. What we saw from Zeke was consistently grinding out positive yards.. Even a couple of nice cutbacks for over 10.. Except for the idiotic play calling on the first and goal from the 1. Three straight plays into the teeth of a 9 man box with the line getting blown into the backfield. Would it kill you to run wide or off tackle down there Kellen Moore? Good thing Cooper bailed Dalton out on the 4th down throw. Dalton almost airmailed that thing.. McCarthy needs to take film of that sequence into his offseason meeting with Jerry and say " this is why I need to call plays man.. "

Pollard did have the one nice kick return but I repeat for those of you who believe he ran 4.3 at his pro-day.. If he was really that fast that linebacker doesn't track him down once he broke free like that. A true 4.3 burner takes that thing to the house high stepping the last 30 yards.

Sadly the Zeke haters will use excuses for Pollard that they would not use for Zeke

Where were you when Zeke posted:
2.43 YPC (Week 3)
2.83 (Week 9)
3.2 (Week 11)

Oh, that’s right...you were in your Zeke nightgown drafting up excuses for his play.

You do realize we have like third stringers on our O-Line playing right? Hence the offensive issue we have since losing everyone except our weapons. Lol

You make it sound like this guy is a 4th overall pick and just signed a 5 year $90 million dollar deal.

Any sound you hear is in your head. I merely stated facts. Pollard got gobbled up last night. He gets gobbled up far more than he breaks a big play but softheads don't remember the 6-7 plays of 1 or 2 yards and negative yards. They only see the one 20+ yard run and jizz themselves. Then come here and proclaim him the second coming. He gave it everything he could last night.. but there was no room for him to run. The Ravens played a 5 and 6 man line most of the night and really dared Dalton to do anything about it. It was good to see Zeke still churning out yards in spite of it but it was only a matter of time before the ineptness of the defense let the score get out of hand so that we would have to stop running the ball. It was also good to see Moore FINALLY call something other than dive up the middle for Zeke. A couple of tosses were a nice touch. Would have been even nicer to see one on the goal line instead of plunging into the teeth of the defense when it was obvious the line was getting blown up.

Pollard has a bigger spark than Zeke. Also we went pass happy that game because our defense put us in that position. Is it really fair to judge Pollard on that? Zeke isn't that guy anymore. I do believe that we need to go running back by committee with both of them. But can we justify that with Zeke's contract? Jerry's ego won't allow that.

Technically I think the tackles are 4th stringers at this point. But did they put the starters back in when Zeke was averaging 7 yards per carry until Moore went back to his brain dead up the middle up the middle then up the middle some more running plays? The off tackle stuff was working as were the designed cutbacks. It was almost like Moore called them in the first half, saw them working and said "nah can't do that anymore, they'll be expecting it."

Pollard is by far the fan bases most overrated player. He has one skill. He's fast. His vision is at best average and he has zero power. He's given them next to nothing in the pass game.
Fans trying to promote him over Zeke are hilarious and just bad at football evaluation.

Last night Zeke accounted for 95 yards on 22 touches.
TP had 28 yards on 9.

If the coaching staff is doing anything with any player's contract as a determining factor they all need to be fired. I don't judge Pollard any different than I judge any player. I watch what they do.... then I factor in what else is going on around him.. What did the defense do? Did the line block anybody? I have always stated that Pollard, by virtue of being a quicker and shiftier runner, is better suited for the shotgun spread offense we now feature than Zeke. I also know that he benefits greatly from letting Zeke tire the defense out before his number gets called. At least he used to. Last night they didn't wait.. They got him in on like the 5 or 6th snap of the game and used him throughout the game... Ironically no fresh legs against tired defense.. no splash plays.. He got met in the backfield on at least half his carried just like Zeke did.. Only Zeke is strong enough to drag defenders for a yard or two anyway. To his credit Pollard did as well on a couple of plays.. but he's just not going to do it as regularly as Zeke. After the big splash against Minnesota Pollard has gone 4 carries for 12 yards on Thanksgiving followed by 8 carries for 22 last night. People really want to replace Zeke with that?

LOL Yet again you display your bias for Zeke and Dak in virtually every thread.


Zeke Elliott Cap Hits 2020 $10.9M 2021 $13.7M 2022 $16.5M

Zeke Elliott 2020 Stats 12 Games 199 Carries 784 Yards 3.9 YPC 5 TD's 43 Catches 274 Yards 6.4 YPC 2 TD's 6 Fumbles


Tony Pollard Cap Hits 2020 $841K 2021 $1.016M 2022 $1.131M

Tony Pollard 2020 Stats 12 Games 64 Carries 300 Yards 4.7 YPC 2 TD's 16 Catches 94 Yards 5.9 YPC


So you slam a 4th round draft pick who has 1/3 the carries of a #4 OVERALL draft pick simply for having a low YPC in his limited 8 carries for what reason? To make yourself feel better in an attempt to justify the overpaid overhyped declining Zeke????? Okay, good luck with that.
