Forced MIA. There was no reason he was relegated to punt returning.
When we get behind we abandon the run. Thats the formula.I don't know who's call it was Moore or McCarthy, but all we heard was how good Pollard looked this week only to not use him. That's a big problem for this coaching staff and certainly one of many head scratching reasons we lost.
Pretty sad jerry is more concerned about trotting an injured and ineffective zeke out there than what would have given us a better chance to win.
That is a direct edict from the OWNER. Believe it. You heard Jerry Jones say a few weeks ago that he EXPACTS Zeke to carry a heavy load. Zeke was CLEARLY laboring. Yet Jerry sent a very strong message via the media that he did not want to hear it...you getting paid, you better play!He was too busy sitting cuz an injured zeke was taking his snaps. And our coaching staff has always played people according to their salary and not ability
Though I assumed the first game Elliott wore a knee brace, and also given the kind of brace, that he didn't just "have a contusion/bruise" and that there was a tear.
Turns out after the season he had a tear all along.
I'm not mad about that, I wouldn't show my hand either. So is the same thing true about Pollard? I mean, why the hell wouldn't you play him over an injured Elliott? Unless he was also injured?
Then, to me it's worse. They never did anything about it to fill the position. Just BS'd the league about two injured RBs to try and put one passed everyone?
I can't agree with your theory of it being about his name, that's unreasonable.Pollard didnt look injured and still appeared mobile/quick. Injury is not the reason and neither is this excuse that you need to establish the run inside to earn the run to the edge.....absolute myth, you use what works, which in our case is Pollard.
Zeke is used because of his name and not his abilities...... I hope Jerry isnt 'suggesting' Zeke is used even if it's to showcase him for an (im)possible trade.
It's 100% certain he's released after 2022.

Zeke white knights will find a way to shield Zeke from criticism.
There is no logical reason Zeke has continued to get more touches than Pollard. It makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Even being a better blocker doesn’t make sense. Zeke was the RB who failed to pick up the blitz yesterday on the last possession of the first half.I can't agree with your theory of it being about his name, that's unreasonable.
Thats what I questioned all game long...why didnt we use him more...I never seen a team not use one of theyre best backs for an entire game....but the cowboys did multiple games this year....barely gave him the ball at all when clearly he should have gotten plenty of carries...
Give it time.You are wrong. I like Zeke, but I have been against him playing after his injury. You will not find one Zeke supporter agreeing with your statement. He has been trash, along with the r rest of the offense.
Or maybe because that was the coached gameplan.
Ignore my previous post, fine by me.There is no logical reason Zeke has continued to get more touches than Pollard. It makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

Jerry? What makes people think it was Jerry
