Was This Pollard's Breakout Game a la Demarco Murray vs. The Rams?

[MarcusRock]

Do you go full Pollard or merely begin to skew the carries toward him?

 

[KJJ]

Continue to do what we’re doing with him that’s why he’s been affective. It’s keeping him fresh.

 

[Havic]

I do not want to see Zeke having more carries than Pollard.

So Tony Romo didn't Carry that Team??

 

[Tangle_Foot]

Speed in space wins the race. Tony had a great game and we would be doing ourselves a disservice if we didn't make sure to get him his touches.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

I'd go 60/40 (Pollard/Zeke) in terms of carries between the two.

exactly. Also him and Zeke aren’t the same types of RBs. Zeke is a power back. And he’s having a solid season. I’d be content with Pollard getting 10-15 carries a game. He’s also a better pass catcher than Zeke.

 

[Denim Chicken]

This game dispelled many things people repeat about Pollard.

He can't handle the load.
He can't get dirty yards.
He can't play the position full time bc of his pass protection.

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

He rushed for 100 yards the last time Zeke was out hurt.

He's been better than Zeke for at least 2 years now.

Can't tell if sarcasm or not. You saying Romo did?

 

[Bob-Lillys-War]

i would go 80/20 pollard,

then when zeke gets better 60/40 ... and so on

Zeke for goal line and short yardage. Everything else to Pollard.

Yes...it is sarcasm. 2014 was great complimentary football Tony and Murray

There is no such thing as Carry on Team sports... unless Prescott carried defense today

 

[Blast From The Past]

No, but I give him more totes. Keep Zeke in and Tony in as a combo or rotation.

 

[Lutonio]

I see what you’re going for, but the difference is this is about two years of all of us seeing how much clearly better he is.

 

[VaqueroTD]

No breakout game. Should have been doing this earlier. Zeke = Malik Davis carries. Loves me some Zeke but only one back is capable of hitting a home run every play.

 

[Oz-of-Cowboy-Country]

Pay that man.
Play that man.

GO COWBOYS!!!

I think his amount of carries today was a good load for him. Maybe a few more, but not 20-plus per game. He definitely earned the lead-dog status, though.
