Yes we have to factor in the injury, but this season he'll be the top man out there. People tend to not give Tony the credit he deserves because he's a speed back. Let me remind you of how hard he runs, and how he's tough to bring down at times. I'm not saying he's Brandon Jacobs, but he can deliver some pop and can be hard to take down.

I think he's insulted at the fact that someone would see him as a guy who can't take hits, which is why he finger finishes them well. Not all will agree, that's fine. I think he's proven himself worthy of taking over. Now that amount of carries he gets should be monitored.

The game he had a lot of carries in, he said he was gassed. But that's where the running back by committee will be supreme! Please give your thoughts on what you're expecting from Pollard this season!

My hope is we add a RB and use pollard, when healthy, much like SF used CMC. They ran him about 14 times a game and gave him 6-8 targets in the passing game. Pollard is a playmaker, just get the ball in his hand in space and he will make plays

If Pollard gets a big workload, I suspect hell have big year.
Any year after that? I expect less

honestly a lot is still unknown with how he is going to return from the injury - and remember its not just physical, its also mental. For what he does, he needs to feel and think that he can do what he needs to do to be successful.,..hope he is good but never know, this year could be a slow year for him or he could not miss a beat

Cant be certain he will be the top dog.

Some people dont give tony the credit because he a lot of these guys are Zeke guys that couldnt handle the truth.

Its all going to be about health for Pollard. I see a similar season. Maybe a few more TD's.

A lot depends on who we take in the draft.

I don’t think Pollard will have the season he had last year and the Cowboys will move on from him after the 2023 season. Even if he were to have a good season they’re not going to pay another RB big money, especially with five years under their belt.

i'm gonna guess he averages between 3.5-4 yards a carry, less than 1k yards rushing, probably about 800. Likely he misses time due to injury and not being fully recovered before he takes the field.

230 carries 1100 yards. 8 or 9 TD's. His leg will be fine

I don’t care he just needs to be on the field more and given the ball in space.

You don’t have to cram him between the tackles because the guy is one of the best open field runners in all of football.

Throw it to him and let him work. He should get 7 check down receptions a game. He’s scary good with the ball.

HE can run between the tackles just fine.

Not saying he can’t. He absolutely can.

He just needs to be more than that. Having him beat and bang all game is not what you want to do but he’s proven he can do it.

Let some other schmuck RB get the dirty Carrie’s.

Definitely need another good back to share the load. As far as not giving him up the middle carries that makes no sense to me.
