What happened to Pollard as a WR?

What ever happened to this option?? Every summer they tell us something, and we never see it, or see it a few times and that's it!!

I think we're thinking this two back system thing out too much! Put Pollard as a WR it's not that hard, we're just not creative and it's upsetting! It doesn't take much. I swear I can't wait to see what these players do on other teams, hey Coop #2

Fastest player on the field with Cooper gone. When was the last time we targeted him deep?
When was the last time we even *sent* him deep?

It's so peculiar. We drafted Pollard as the next iteration of the gimmick RB/WR, and once we discovered he was a legitimate RB, we relegated him to 2nd string RB.

Though he did get stuck with a couple of slow developing idiot plays from Moore last game.

Two games is a small sample size for 2022.

Pollard
- A rate of 16.7 catches per 100 snaps in the Bengals game.
- His average for that stat last season was about 10.
- He had 13.75 yards per catch vs the Bengals.
- That is a good receiving avg yards for a RB.
- He only had 2 catches in the Bucs game which puts his season avg rate at 9.7 per 100 snaps.

We always call a better game for the backup QB.

They have used him some in the passing game he had a 46 yard catch and run last week.

I'm not sure the 46 yard "catch" was meant to be a pass play. It was a pitch that ended up being a forward lateral.

Well, he wasn't drafted to be a receiver. He did it in college but he probably hasn't competed against pro level DBs very much. There ya go
