Jonathan Taylor Thomas and Derrick Henry seem to be workhorse types, devastating injury this year to King Henry aside.
Yeah, but lets see where that goes.

Zeke is better for Dak.Zeke is better than Pollard now whine at me I like it
So ignore the stat that doesn't suit your agenda?Ignore the games and look at the carries
Yes master but Zeke is better than PollardZeke is better for Dak.
People see Tony get very specifically designed plays with success....most of those plays are AWAY from our O line....our terrible run game O-line. People so casually forget...When Tony has to run up the middle he doesn't get any more yards than Zeke.
These people think this makes Tony a better starting RB. When he;'s neber been the #1 starter EVER! in college or NFL.
We have a guy above enamored with "breaking tackles". Tony gets to break a DB tackle while Zeke has to avoid a tackler on the handoff then three more O-line/LBers. While avoiding a pushed back offensive line.
That's the play Moore calls time and time again but ....Zeke sucks.
I will say it again....don't get stuck on stats. Tell the story the stats only outline. Dont'; abuse them to prove a phantom opinion.
Welll...I am no master...but I appreciate your sarcasm.Yes master but Zeke is better than Pollard
We picked up a guy that I kinda like Washington can be a running back or receiver might be good choice.Welll...I am no master...but I appreciate your sarcasm.
Yes...zeke is a better RB especially if you want Dak healthy. Better have a good #2 RB with Tony as #1..... he gets hurt just being a casual #2.
I like Pollard for what he is- one of the best change of pace backs in the NFL. We shouldn't oversell him though. I don't think he'll have the same success as the main cow bell back.
If we run him as our main every down back y'all will turn on him faster than you turned on Zeke and we'll have wasted another talent.
I agree! Wasn;t he the Eagle RB that threw the super bowl TD?We picked up a guy that I kinda like Washington can be a running back or receiver might be good choice.
We'll probably have to agree to disagree....but I won;t insult you for it.Zeke supporters are the new flat Earthers.
agree Barkley was a terrible pick, I believed that when it happened.Barkley is over-rated and there is a myth that surrounds his aura. For every big run, he's racking up multiple negative type runs and it was his knock in college. His athleticism wows you with a big play catching or running, but as a runner that punishes a defensive front, he isn't the guy. Even in his first couple years, the RG was not forcing defenses out of the cover 2 zones, which was the main driver for drafting him.
Injuries can level the playing fieldSo he’s matched his production while playing twice as many games. Ok…

That stat doesn’t mean anything except that our team doesn’t use him.In twice as many games
I've seen this narrative before. Not everyone can take the full load and produce at a high level year over year. Even Troy Hambrick looked great as a backup.
It’s the number of carries that sets the barometer. Not the number of games.In twice as many games
