Tony Pollard is Felix Jones 2.0

[WillieBeamen]

We made the same mistake that we made over a decade ago when we thought Felix can take over as our number 1 back.

Dude clearly benefitted from Zeke wearing down the defenses

 

[The Natural]

At 3.9 a carry I’d say the proof is in the pudding at this point. He’s a good change of pace back, not a lead guy.

 

[noletime95]

Totally agree yet no reinforcements brought in

Excellent analogy.

Naaaaaah that's what yall Pollard fans wanted. Felix was specifically brought in to be a change of pace back. Big difference

 

[BIGS87]

Lol! This is so true!

 

[cowboys5xsbs]

LOL SO TRUE

 

[WillieBeamen]

Where are all the “backs dont matter” folks?

 

[Playmaker3128]

Yeah good thing we didn't give up a 2nd for a guy like Derick Henry. You have him today you win that game..... but thats cool I'm sure we'll draft another quality player in the second round. Good thing that we went for it.

Here comes the “hes not the same post-injury” comments…..

We need to waste our 2nd rounder on another TE or Linebacker who never sees the field

 

[Zman5]

So does this mean Rico is the new DeMarco?
Maybe Rico will break the single game rushing record if he gets a start due to Pollard being out due to an injury.

That is actually a really good comp.

Unless I'm mistaken, but the Titans didn't really want to trade Henry.
Similar to the Raiders with Adams.

 

[jazzcat22]

I rather have Felix Jones.

 

[Tabascocat]

Didn’t they try the same with the underwear thief Joseph Randle?

 

[jazzcat22]

But I was told all last two years, Any RB would play well.

I'm sure if we offered a 2nd they would have. Maybe even a 3rd. Sure it's an overpay, but it would have been a good risk for half a season. To go for it. Henry would make a huge difference on this offense.

 

[RS12]

Nah, Not until Pollard shows up with a gut.

 

[jwitten82]

I never wanted them to bring Pollard back tbh, but I'm just glad they didn't sign him long-term. He's still better than zeke
