Tony Pollard should average 15-20 touches

If he doesn't average min 15-20 touches after the first 5-6 games, KM should be demoted.

100% guarantee that he won't be used like that, and the worse thing is he won't be used in the passing game. He should have something about 700-800 yards receiving in the year especially with the WR situation, but he won't. Probably will have 200 yards receiving despite being a former WR.

Zeke had 14 carries a game last season, I would think Pollard numbers would increase but 15 to 20 carries? I highly doubt that.

Hoping we run more this year and set up the pass. Maybe the reason they aren’t worried about WR to much. I see teams stacking the line against us

 

[DogFace]

He’ll get 3-5 more touches (tops) a game if we’re lucky.

Maybe not carries, but touches?

Use him or lose him! Barring injury, this should be an awesome year for Pollard, he is playing for his future paycheck. He will explode on every play and someone will pay him next year.

IIRC, after the Bucs game last year they started swopping Zeke and Pollard every series. They should get back to doing that. Don't know why they got away from it. I'm thinking our owner, president, and general manager had something to do with ending of them swopping.

+1

I think that can happen given Pollard may be used in passing game more often. For me, as long as the team is moving the chains and putting points on the board I don't give a rats butt who is getting the touches.

Agree 100% but for an offense that lost Cooper and Wilson, he's a very good alternative. Let's use him.....

True, right now we have only seen WR with backup QB, come Monday we get to see the WR playing with Dak.

If I'm not mistaken, run blocking is Tyler Smith's forte. Hopefully, he can lead the way for our RBs to get some big yardage.

Average a Minimum 15-20 touches? There is no chance of that without an injury to Zeke even if Pollard gets more snaps than Zeke

Agreed, but naturally the more he touches the more thT number will go down

 

[Havic]

I want to see Pollard get at least 10 touches a game and be more actively involved in the passing game.

 

[ChuckA1]

He may not get additional running touches but I'm pretty certain he'll be used more in the passing game.

Wow, only 14 a game. That is low, it needs to be around 18 to 20.
I do think Pollard needs more touches, but they come from the passing game.

 

[thunderpimp91]

I really wonder how much control KM really has on the Zeke/Pollard situation. Typically position coaches are responsible for managing rotations in-game, plus KM has the extra layer of Jerry pitching Zeke to the media, and sitting in on Monday meetings after a game.
