Video: Tony Pollard's rookie season

[jblaze2004]

He shows pretty good balance and breaks more tackles than I thought he would.
He definitely runs tough.

A great addition to this team. A one two punch. We need to take a look at how the Saints utilized Kamara and Ingram because thats what we have right now. Thunder and lighting.

 

[Gaede]

I think he's pretty much guaranteed to have a breakout year next year under McCarthy

 

[Corso]

Trade him for a mid-high 2nd to supplement the D.

You're right, and he also has patience to set up his blocks, but once he sees daylight it's like he's getting sucked into it. His burst is really quick. He's so much fun to watch.

Love the kid as a change of pace. Wished he saw more opportunities in the passing game. He is not the answer returning kicks.

Looking forward to seeing what Tony can do next season, hopefully he can have a second-year jump like Michael Gallup had and double up on his rookie production. That of course would make him the front runner to holdout in Cabo with two years left on his contract

Dont wanna derail the thread, but can you guys look at the video carefully and spot Jarwin and his blocking, it seems like he was in a lot on the Pollard runs.
To call him a useless blocker is exaggerated imo.

And notice the last run vs Wash - threw a nice combo block.

With Fassel, I’m excited to see Pollard in the return game. Could be a game changer

Do you know if he’s ever returned punts
I know he didn’t this year but curious if he did in college

He’s better between the tackles than I expected
Need him more involved in the pass game
He’s part of why I’m not too concerned at TE
Use him there as a pass target with jarwin

I think he was an effective kick returner, not sure if he returned punts.

He did make some nice blocks. I'll tell you what I don't like though: Go to the 2:29 mark and watch Gallup and Cooper casually walking back to the middle of the field before the play's even over.

We gonna need one
Don’t think Austin is coming back we might actually have a ST coach who could setup a return

Yea, Pollard probably deserves a 2nd look with some actual coaching involved with the unit. Cobb can return punts....I hope he stays.

I’m sure Cobb stays but be nice to find a dynamic guy. We need a couple of CB’s maybe one has return skills

Which would mean he can catch the ball..............sounds promising.

I understand why you say that - I think. But all our ST were horrible this year. With a new ST coach - he might still turn out to be a kick returner. MHO

 

[exciter]

Prior to this year Dan Marino had the most impressive rookie year I've ever seen.

Oh he was so much more impressive than that! Felix Jones 2.0 esq!

I would trade Zeke first
