Use of Tony Pollard is atrocious

[atlantacowboy]

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.

Tony has come up big every time he has gotten an opportunity to touch the ball regularly. He is absolutely a better player than what Moore and company have allowed him to be. You'll see next year when he is starting on another team.

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

Seems like its honestly more of a coordinator issue not having a feel, last year we had games where Zeke would kill the momentum with Pollard, not either players fault but the inability of this staff to recognize whats going on

Pollard is a backup RB / backup slot receiver. That’s all.

 

[phildadon86]

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.

Did you watch the game yesterday? At all?

Pollard did not look like a starter at all.

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.

When the season is over he BETTER NOT EVEN NEGOTIATE WITH THE COWBOYS leave this team

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.

Lots of Pollard fans.

He averaged 5.5 ypc last year and went over 100 yards in his only start of the season. Those are facts. All you got is a poorly informed opinion.

 

[Coogiguy03]

ON THE BAD BLOCKING, ZEKE SHOULD BE BACK THERE, and have Tony out as a WR, DUH

 

[Coogiguy03]

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

Just to show balance that we're using both backs

 

[Fontaine]

Lots of Pollard fans.

I like pollard as well but zeke is the short yardage guy. Stupid call.

MM and the entire offensive staff needs gone. I have been saying all week long discipline and execution last night we had neither

That’s what you get when you hire a little league OC.

exactly....its 3rd and long, its a long pass play. who are we fooling by keeping pollard in there, like we are going to run it....put zeke in for pass protection. this is where Moore fails....Moore is playing madden NFL....its not real NFL

 

[Blast From The Past]

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.

Pollard is not deployed correctly. A square peg does not go in a round hole. Blocking is not his forte but his pass catching and outside speed are a valuable commodity that KM seems to be oblivious to. They talk a good game all off season and then do not walk the walk once the season begins.

1.3 yards a carry is awesome.

 

[Floatyworm]

Kellen is saddled with the expectations from the Jones...they got feed Zeke...to justify that damn contract...

If it was me...#21 wouldn't see the field...he's that slow.
