Pollard has been the better running back for a while now. But, Zeke is A self-promoting machine that continues to fool the Dallas front office.

Classic case of diminishing returns.

Yards per game

2017. 98.3
2018. 95.6
2019. 84.8

You didn't want to throw in carries per game? Or yards per attempt?

Zeke 4.5
Emmitt 4.2

I'm not as down on Zeke as some. There's a time to run Zeke, and a time to run Pollard.

Zeke's contract is in the past. We can deal with that after the season. For now, I root for her.

Why knock Zeke in a good story about Pollard ? As a fan I enjoyed seeing BOTH of them chew up the self promoted “ Giants / Martindale “ defense . On 3rd and 12 that 30 plus yd run by Zeke wasn’t too shabby or that tough defense stacked for the run TD by 21.

I suspect Mr Pollard will draw some attention as a FA next season let’s see what the Jones duo comes up with . Dare I say franchise tag ? Let’s see . I know one thing the days of “ featured “ backs getting 25 runs a game seems over . I like bringing in fresh legs having running back by committee approach .

They literally make things up out of thin air.

Sounds good though.

Lop, hey man I'm trying to remember your list.

Wentz is the next Tom Brady
Peters can't play guard
Steele is trash compared to the great LC

and I thought TP was a mid round pick in any draft. My bad if I misquoted you on that ONE.
