Tony Pollard is Felix Jones 2.0

[nate dizzle]

He's gone after this season.

 

[Proof]

sure wish they’d run from under center more

 

[WillieBeamen]

Yall cant even lie and say Rico doesnt look better when hes in the game

 

[jazzcat22]

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

You sure about that, that he is better.
I rather have Zeke. Especially on those drives inside the 5 we do not score on.

And todays game, Zeke would have made a difference.

Yea, I'm sure

I like Pollard but this is another example of the front office over valuing their draft picks. It's so obvious that Dallas needs a bruiser RB to compliment Pollards running style.

It's really disappointing that the Arkansas dummies couldn't see this at the trade deadline

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Totally agree yet no reinforcements brought in

Would've been nice if Derrick Henry had been brought in.

 

[rnr_honeybadger]

Totally agree yet no reinforcements brought in

We like our guys!!

 

[DoctorChicken]

He’s not what he was before the injury but the run blocking has been rough too.

Plus, for whatever reason, Zeke owned the Eagles when he was here.

 

[Aven8]

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

Let’s just say he’s lost a step…….

 

[IceStar-D7]

False face said we didn't need another running back. We didn't need anything. We good......

 

[This is Our Year]

I will say this and I don’t disagree, I think that’s a good comparison, but how many times a game is TP getting hit at the LOS on his carries. Not much room to work with out there to get those legs moving in space.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

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.

I seriously hope that Washington doesn't get a top QB in the draft, or we may have more to worry about than just Philly next year.

 

[Shane612]

I rather have Felix Jones.

I AGREE.

 

[Doomsday]

He is being completely misused. They need more of Dowdle on early downs, he is much better between the tackles.

 

[Sonicxtacy02]

At least Felix had reoccurring injuries that held him back. Pollard's patiently waiting for the perfectly blocked running play everytime he touches the ball

 

[WoodysGirl]

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

They didnt, but folks keep thinking he was on the trading block. He was on other team's wishlist. Dassit.

Definitely agree with this. Dowdle has looked great between the tackles.

This OL coach and his run run design scheme is horrid, imo.
An all purpose back like Pollard is built for a stretch scheme, not a bell cow pound scheme.

Did you see some of the stretch zone run scheme that Eagles run with RB Swift . sweep him off tackle, misdirection .vs what we keep trying to do with Pollard ?

And some are just focused on rushing the ball, but we don't even see the RB screens
and RB in the pass game that we expected to see. just mere dump offs.
We don't scheme him for splash plays - just modest bell cow duty.

We were excited and expecting to see Deuce in the reg season - Nope ! he's gonna be a
healthy inactive game scratch remaining of this season.
Why ? ... this coaching staff dunno how to use-scheme for him.
