I know you are joking, but I think a lot of people have bought into the idea that he can carry the workload because of what Jones has said which is purely a part of negotiation talk.I hope he runs for 400 yards against the giants lol. By halftime
Based on what? Hope?This crap about Pollard not being able to carry the load is bull. He can carry it 20 times a game I don't care what he did or didn't do in College.
And we are turning it over to a QB who is not used to being the straw that stirs the drink.It amazes me how much some folks here don't really track the NFL.
In 2018 only 9 teams had their "Bell Cow" running it more than 230 carries over the season...that's 14.4 carries per game. The majority of NFL teams...their lead back carried it 13 carries or less per game. It's a passing league and it's also a running-back-by-committee league.

Against Giants reserves and the remnants of a failed season who had mostly given up? Okay.He stirred that drink pretty well week 17 last year w/out Zeke. We will be passing more this year. Looking fwd to it.
He eclipsed 15 or more rushing attempts in one game. His final one.
Or, maybe we won't.

The Joneses are concocting one interesting mixture.

Many of the players who will take the field on Sunday never experienced that conquest.
Yeah and in those 4th and 1s like in the playoffs. ....oh....opps.We will miss Elliott in Red Zone mainly.

Who right who wrong in this whole thing doesnt really matter. There is no scenario where the team is better with out both Zeke and Pollard. Hoping to see that this Sunday.If he can handle 20 carries a game, I think this guy may make a lot of fans forget about Ezekiel Elliott.
I agree with a piece I read earlier.
Zeke should have been happy as the second-highest paid back in the NFL.
He handled this wrong.
I gotta hand it to Jerry for cutting off negotiations and not getting hosed by a guy who can't handle himself in public anyway.
As others have pointed out, we have other players to get signed like Amari Cooper.
Zeke has to let other players eat, too.
Just having the star on your helmet is money in the bank, if you play it right. Zeke goofed on this one. Now he loses money.
In any case, I see Pollard having a good start. 6.8 YPC in college is nothing to shake a stick at.
And Alfred Morris is no slouch either.
So, we may be just fine without Zeke anyway.

Agreed. The Jones tend to think they are outsmarting everyone else when in reality this mixture might blow up in their face yet again.
WR by committee anyone?
