Tony Pollard RB1

[FVSTONE]

Honestly there is no question anymore.

Those Zeke supporters have the same thinking as Jerry Jones. Let that sink in for a moment.

Tony Haullard

Zek - Tony, Tony -Zek???? Honestly, these two work great together so quit trying to start crap about who should do this or who should do that. As long I see these studs high fiving each other then I don't care who starts because they play off each other!

 

[Cmac]

You cowboy fans harping on this are no different than Skip Bayless. That's sad

I wondered what took them so long.

Tank's replacement is already on the team, #54, if it comes to that.

Kind of like Shultz replacement is already on the team.

Williams is a situational pass rusher because isn’t good enough to play the run to be a starter. Tank is arguably the best run defending DE in football while still giving solid pass rush productivity.

He might be his replacement in like 3+ years but not any time soon.

 

[Risen Star]

I wouldn't let him leave but I'm also not enthusiastic about paying another RB.

 

[Vegas_Cowboy]

He’s better used as a receiving back with about half the carries. His playmaking ability makes the whole passing game better. Getting him the ball in space makes him a better weapon than running him 25 times a game. That’s a waste of his talent

Agreed. It's amazing what happens when you use players correctly.

He looked pretty good against the run today. I'm not saying ditch Tank to start Sam, but 54 is really starting to catch my eye out there and is rapidly developing into a really good player.

If I remember correctly he had 0 tackles against the run today?

 

[CATCH17]

RB1 is irrelevant and overrated. Not sure why this is so hard to accept.

I’ve never cared who started.

Problem is they feature Zeke when Pollard is clearly the guy who should be the feature back because he’s better.

Why is the label RB1 so important? Pollard has the most YPC, YAC, and most overall yards. Utilizing Zeke to pound the ball has its benefits. RB1 is a label that is far less important the getting the W.

Looked to me Pollard was featured today and I have a feeling they are not turning back. Love that Davis is still in the mix, too.

 

[NickZepp]

Zeke had a good game today and set the tone early. Having 2 backs with well defined roles is good for the team.

Because this is the first time we’ve seen Pollard featured with Zeke on the field.

 

[Whiskey Cowboy]

If I remember correctly he had 0 tackles against the run today?

I saw him crashing in and disrupting plays, and he did have at least two stops in the backfield that I recall.

I watched the game and saw zero…do you have some tape you can show?

I also watched the game. Sure don't have any tape. Just going off of memory. One I remember was on one of the last drives where he shed his block and ragdolled the runner. Otherwise, you're more than welcome to go back and key in on 54 if you like. Just a simple observation.

 

[kumizi]

It’s been clear for multiple years now Pollard deserves 2/3 of the snaps.

Some people are just a little slow.

Honestly there is no question anymore.

Tony Haullard

Need both to make a playoff run.

Why just can't fans be happy with both RB's used as they are....Pollard fans and Zeke haters just do not understand football.

I don't mind using Zeke for all or most of the grunt work.

But Pollard is the more effective, efficient and explosive back.

The touch share should be 75% Pollard and 25% Zeke.

 

[CATCH17]

Why just can't fans be happy with both RB's used as they are....Pollard fans and Zeke haters just do not understand football.

Because Pollard gives us a better chance at making big plays and Zeke doesn’t.


Whatever you think Zeke still offers at this point in his career isn’t worth it in comparison to what Pollard can do.
