Pollard needs to be the focal point of the offense at this point.
Build a lead and let Zeke do the dirty work.
Of course we know Zeke’s contract is more important than doing what’s best for the team.
Zeke is about the biggest progress stopper I can remember at this point. You have an elite tailback playing second fiddle to a mid level RB in Zeke all because of a contract.
The Zeke vs Pollard conundrum is exactly what is wrong about this franchise.
Not on this team. He's not a progress stopper yet. He could be next year, if he was playing at the same rate. But that won't be the case.
Zeke can still help this team. And, imo, he earned his contract. Up until this point. After this year, I would say he hasn't. But this year is a pay it forward year from Jerry, the way I see it.
Next year, some of Zeke's salary will go to his teammates who've earned it with their play.
