Use of Tony Pollard is atrocious

[AtomicDog]

Pollard is in on 3rd and long and whiffs on protections. I thought Zeke was the blocking phenom and he's not there? Pollard got only maybe 3 carries? Why is Pollard on the punting special team making tackles?

The way we use Pollard just infuriates me.

Every team has a Tony Pollard on it ........ the guy isn't special and his usage, while not good, is not what makes this team bad.

 

[charron]

Playcalling was bad. Its like these guys never played in agame together oh wait tbey havent.

 

[pansophy]

Yeah, I don't understand why they kept letting Pollard mess up pass protection. I guess they want the threat of him being a receiver, but it doesn't matter if the plays keep getting blown up.

Zeke should have been in the backfield and Pollard on the wing on those plays

 

[DB_Cooper]

I was confused why he was in on 4th and 2. Let’s ignore situational football for a rotation we decided last Tuesday.

Honestly I know I’ll get flack for this but pollard took away a lot of the momentum at times we were having with Zeke

this coordinator just has no feel for the game

You will hate this answer but running more with Zeke tonight would have helped. He was the best thing the offense did tonight but of course our play caller would rather run double reverses.

 

[Tabascocat]

Pollard can’t get significant snaps because he is a terrible blocker. He is not and never will be as useful as Zeke. Sorry if that hurts some feelings……

 

[TheCoolFan]

Being a playcaller does not mean you are good at scheming and designing an offense for your weapons. Kellen is just simply a playcaller with a crappy playbook based on the Garrett/Linehan offense since that's all he knows. That's why this offense never has any identity.

 

[RS12]

If you cant pick up the blitz or block at all you are relegated to gadget status.

 

[Haimerej]

Six carries, 8 yards. Gave up multiple sacks because he can't block.

Kellen Moore is in the fetal position at home right now with his wife saying

" sweetie you can always coach high school, plus you have me "

He's not the player everyone insists he is. He's a change of pace back.

Zeke is the back. And the Cowboys should figure that out sooner rather than later.

We would be better off bringing in the guy from the practice squad.

 

[Kingofholland]

McCarthy and Moore have no idea how to use Pollard or run a functional offense after watching that game plan.

-No deep passes
-Abandonded the run when Zeke was running well
-Inability to run a screen
- No idea how to feature players

Pollard is a hell of a weapon rotting on our bench. When the guy gets carries he looks amazing. Even the little dump off passes he made some plays.

This was a real head scratcher for me. Zeke was getting yards at will, is a dominate north south rusher, why the hell would you use a shifty east west runner in a 4th and 2 when everyone in the stadium knows you’re going to run it. I was surprised there wasn’t more people complaining about this in the game thread.

Pollard had 6 carries for 8 yards. At one point it was 4 for -2 but hey, by all means let’s use him more!
