Two 1,000 yard backs?

But beyond that but how cool would that be to have two 1,000 backs? It's very early, but right now both are on pace.

Zeke: 44 caries, 195 yards 4.5 YPC
On pace for 1,105 yards
Pollard: 27 carries, 183 yards, 6.8 YPC
On pace for 1,037 yards

Slow down!

Well with 17 games this season and each guy getting carries, think it comes down to can they both stay healthy? No doubt it is very doable if not for injury. Both far superior to Rocky Bliear.

It is looking like they have bought in to having both out there as a combo than spelling each other. That will work. That is how it was done back in the day, a power cat and a speedster.

One of my fav combo's

Classic thunder and lighting

Balanced offenses that keep defences guessing are always a good thing. Not to mention running games usual travel well to cold weather cities in January like GB.

That would be amazing. If it happens, I bet Pollard does it in less carries.

Speaking as someone who has Zeke on his fantasy team, I am not ok with this. Speaking as a Cowboys fan, this would be a good thing.

 

[CCBoy]

Two 1,000 yard rushers and three 1,000 yard receivers....yes I can buy into that!

After Zeke punishes the secondary?

 

[glimmerman]

Would be great. Would like to see Elliot with 1500 and Pollard 1000. They need some big games. Will be some teams that will sell out to stop our run. Of course Dak will make them pay.!

Well, do you want to wait until the 15th game to bring this up?

It's never too early to discuss anything.

What if they add two WR's with 1K to that mix?

I do not recall any offense with this much firepower at the skill positions, not even the Greatest Show on Turf. When Gallup comes back and Cooper is 100%, this is the offense I do not want to have to defend. Add to that, the OC seems to want to make every player a star. And he has a QB that feels the same way,

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

Because of zeke.

 

[CowboyFrog]

It could happen...and frankly has a good chance because I dont see teams crowding the line early against this offense....Its going to be fun to watch how these defenses decide to die in upcomming games....

 

[CowboyRoy]

You mean runs into the secondary? I would rather see him run around the secondary or past them to be honest.

Considering that there is a 17 game schedule this year, 1000 for both should be fairly easily attained...they would only need to average about 59 ypg to do that. That said, it would still be fun to have two 1K yd backs.

Hill, Thomas, and Garrison ran the Cowboys to a Super Bowl title in 1972.
