In last years playoff vs San Fran, Tony Pollard had 4 carries and 2 catches total FOR THE GAME !!! That's completely insane. Moore has to find a way to get this guy close to 20 touches. If Moore repeats last years fiasco, he should not be allowed on the plane ride home. You absolutely HAVE TO get the ball in his hands, preferably on the move/in space. I got a feeling we're going to need 30 points to win Monday night.

It’s ok…..he’s leaving Tampa and we’re sending him to Carolina right after the game for his interview. He’s been working on his interview skills on Zip Recruiter!

Pollard n Lamb need to be the focal point of the offense with Shultz, Gallup n Hilton as supplemental pieces to offense.
Schultz'kowski is usually the main target in the playoffs. He was in the last 2 games and in last year's playoffs.

I expect for him to have at least 12 targets from Dak on Monday night.

I don't understand this at all

well he answered that with getting pollard a near even spit in carries and over 1k yards this season. doubt he will forget to use him now that hes large part of our offense all seaosn.

my guess around 20 for TP and 15 for zeke run and catch... however the game flows will dictate this if they are average under 3YPC or worse like the Washington game ie the OL is not opening holes, it will be dak show again and then what..we cant always blame Moore for the pay calls if the run is shut down.

Pollard needs his touches no doubt. He’s too explosive and dynamic to not have an important role in tomorrow’s game.

BUT, I’d rather have us win with an overall high level offensive performance, vs force feeding one or two players. We have weapons. We’e proved it. Our offense is near the top of the league.

Moore doesn't scheme to get our playmakers the ball. He is Jason Garrett 2.0. I don't know what people see in Kellem Moore. Its more of the players then his offense. Just like Jason Garrett when he was here.
We had some of the top offenses. Last one season as the Giants OC and now can't get a OC job. I feel Kellen Moore is the same.

We all know zeke will be featured and cowboys will start off slow and fall behind.

I bet our first play of the game will be Zeke running up the middle for a gain of 1 yard. Then we will run it again for a gain of 2 yards. And hello 3rd and long.

No less than 15 touches for TP. This doesn't mean we should not run Zeke lots.... but the way we win this game is TOP, and keeping the GOAT on the sideline. Ground and Pound baby... lessens the chance for the NFL's leading INT thrower to throw picks too.

both he and zeke need a viable OL to do anything. facts ive never seen either make bad day by the OL look good..you see last Sunday? saw TP have 3-4 games under 3 YPC, that OL need to come to brawl and we will win the game. if not long day for Dak again being one handed with little time to get the ball out.

he needs to touch the ball 15-20 times a game....that's how you keep a defense honest and lets throw them one to think about, line up both pollard and zeke in the backfield and then swing pollard outside or in the slot.

Agree. Pollard is our most explosive. That guy needs to touch the ball minimum 20 times. rushing toss outs or catching wheel routes he's done it all this year. To me he's our best player to be honest & he's a absolute game breaker.
