Tony Pollard should average 15-20 touches

[G2]

All hinges on health but it's pointless to go by averages unless it's Apples to Apples. Elliott and Pollard are 2 different RBs and we need them both to be involved and healthy.
Whatever it takes. Keep handing off to who is moving forward.

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

I don't think that will happen most games, but going up to 10 would be a good start.

He needs 5 Carrie’s.

Shut up Joe

Make me!

I highly doubt Pollard is durable enough for 15+ rushes per game. Zeke is a tank, and has proven to be extremely durable.

Carries plus Targets last season:
Pollard averaged 12
Zeke averaged 18

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.

Another career wasted by Cowboys management. At least he'll get out of here before they destroy him like they destroyed Felix.

If Pollard can stay healthy, good chance he pulls a Martellus and makes the Pro Bowl elsewhere.

Pollard is a backup always has been always will be

 

[cowboyed]

Pollard should average 15-20 touches? That would be almost as good as a priest in a Catholic church.

 

[noshame]

Pollard will be used a lot in the slot That's said I'd like to see him get at least 15 touches a game then we can compare notes with Zeke

 

[Bullflop]

Tony Pollard might very well get a bundle of reps if Dak's ankle is as gimpy as it might be! Yikes! Hope for the best . . .

 

[quickccc]

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.

Pollard's touches will cease because he will relinquish the kick return duties to Turpin.
And Kellen will likely prefer to give the jet sweep touches to Turpin instead.

Early season we'll see Pollard move around here and there but once Kellen gets preoccupied with more and more pass packages
and situations, he'll want to rely more on Zeke's blitz blocking, and less on a guy that can bust a big play open on any given play.
I saw the Pollard moments early in the year, and then it waned down as the season went on.

5-7 at best.

Zeke is RB1.

dont get your hopes up.

 

[CowboyRoy]

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

No chance of running much until peters goes out to tackle.

Is he going to play Sunday. I have not heard anything.

Everyone wants less zeke but you. Lol

zeke got 14 because he wasn’t very good in the 2nd half. Drives stalled because he was bad. Got down double digits and we had to play catch up.

 

[CowboyRoy]

No he won’t. Be prepared for bad oline play.

 

[aikemirv]

Cowboys undefeated (11-0) when Pollard carries the ball more than 10 times.

I would like to see the other stats related to those games. I don't think we are winning because Pollard gets that many touches. I think he gets that many touches because how we are winning. Sustained drives, no penalties, good defense and so forth.
