Tony Pollard needs to be utilized as a receiver more

[Creeper]

I assume you mean to isolate him on a LB coming out of the backfield, and not line him up as a WR where he gets CB or Safety in coverage. I agree. They throw that swing pass but now they need to have him set up for the swing then sprint down the sidelines. If Dak gets him the ball in stride it will be a huge play for them. The Cowboys used to get Dorsett down the sidelines like that. No one could keep up with him. The Giants ran the same play to Barkley but for some reason stopped.

The Cowboys have lined him up in the slot and wide and he has excellent separation so it doesn't really matter who is on him. When he makes the catch it's ALL OVER BUT THE CRYING!! He's a Beast to bring down when he gets those jets turned on.

The triple threat with Pollard and Davis passing w Zeke running and blocking would be good.

Davis has made the most of his opportunities on dump offs and runs. He popped some long runs in the few opportunities.

That speed combination as a duo using Pollard or Davis as slot and RB rotating is better than any #3 wr combination.


We have 2 hybrid receiving/rushing rbs and that's a lot of speed and burst to cover in the slot.

I'd push out all of my big play capability and target them.

Pollard has been the most obvious speed mismatch if he's manned up on a LB since he got here.
This year, he's also the fastest player on the offense.
This is the only time we've thrown deep to Pollard that I can recall.
We haven't done it again since.
We're just too stupid for words.

The way were using Pollard has worked. He’s had the most touches he’s ever had in a season and made the Pro Bowl for the first time. We don’t send all the receivers to the same spot try watching the games. The addition of TY Hilton has also helped us at receiver.

He still needs the ball more. Tony Pollard is one of the most dangerous and electric players in football right now and he is still underutilized.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

The coaching staff needs to utilize Tony Pollard as a receiver more so he and Zeke can be on the field at the same time and keep defenses guessing whether it’s a run or pass play.

In addition they need to utilize the 2 TE set and run traditional power & zone plays for the RB duo not out of the Shotgun.

I don't expect to see that this week because we are playing in a game that has very little chance of elevating us to the divisional win or the 1 seed. However, I think we will see that once the playoffs start.

I would like to see Pollard run the underneath crossing routes. So many thing KM could do with thus player, but he doesn't.

KM is stuck in the Garret box.

If we overused him he wouldn’t be as effective and would probably be suffering more injuries. He missed a game due to an injury.

I'd leave him out there!!! Any amount of snaps he wants to play

Schultz will have a monstrous Checkdown passing assignment today ha ha ha

They have to practice up for Zeke and Schultz to lead us in the Playoffs oof!!! Lmao

If we're paying them we're featuring them!!! Ha ha ha

Wake up Kellen Moore!!

In the game 2 weeks ago vs Philly, Pollard had more catches than the 2nd and 3rd WRs combined.
- Same for the Vikings game and probably some others.

That's pretty AWESOME for a part time pro bowler

I'd move Pollard up to #3 wr with lamb and Hilton and rotate him and Davis in the slot. The rbs are just better options

I like Pollard as the hybrid run/catch option - but much of those catching routes should be *deep* balls.
He's our fastest player on offense and can catch. Sending him deep, and often, puts personnel matchup pressure on the defense. Match him up against a LB, and you get beat deep. Match him up with a DB to cover the deep ball, and we've got the advantage on run plays.
As it is Pollard just gets RB routes, which allows defenses to just match him up with a LB.

We get the pick 6 tryna target brown. Urgh

We're cursed on grass

Crazy we don't have a good screen game with a guy like Pollard.

 

[droopdog7]

Um, pollard would be the worst receiver on the team. This makes no sense.

 

[droopdog7]

Crazy we don't have a good screen game with a guy like Pollard.

The running back has nothing to do with the effectiveness of the screen game. Most times we fool nobody.
