Who’s decision was it to make Pollard the primary back?

[foofighters]

Whomever it was should be fired. PLEASE TRADE FOR A REAL #1 RB!

The same person that put Dak at QB1...

They're not using him right.... he's not a bell cow

When they used him as a bellcow last year in the 4 or 5 games Zeke was out, Pollard was phenomenal.

It's more of a scheme or blocking issue.

Pollard was outstanding as the Lead back last year.

Hey troll, this is not a Dak thread.

 

[Mr_437]

Anyone have a guess on what percentage of Cowboys fans have no idea there's an OL/scheme issue?

 

[Hadenough]

Maybe the Oline coach should be looked at. It seems there are some teams in the league that are able to run the ball no matter who the RB is.

 

[Cowpolk]

no he didn't

Yes he did vigorously

 

[Coogiguy03]

no he did

 

[Cowpolk]

Yes you are right

99% of this board was on board.

This is what the OP said 6 months ago.

"I believe this is the year the Cowboys reach at least the NFC Championship game"




OP going to be so disappointed when he finds out this team might not even make the playoffs............should we tell him?"

Imho, it's high time for Luepke to be given his share of the reps. Pollard is very valuable but just not the type of RB to carry the load.

My guess is the injury has robbed him of that elite speed he had.

I think his longest run is 31 yds

He can’t get away from them anymore.

Pollard has great instincts.
Good vision.
Great YAC guy, hands and breakaway speed from point of contact meaning if he brakes first contact, he has home run speed.
Top end speed, we have seen defensive players run him down, but if Pollard is able to do the aforementioned than I'm good with it.

60 yard pass play, but caught from behind. Not seeing him gain affected that some, although.

Interesting thought for sure.

 

[Adiba1977]

It’s not the OL. They have no #1 type RB.

Ol has been trash bro. Not blocking well. Playing soft.

 

[fairviewfarmer]

Always comes down to the same thing. Our GM has a complete inability to evaluate talent at the NFL level.

Indeed, He often reaches for a player that leaves a lot of us shaking our heads.

Tis a big reason why Pollard may soon be injured. Jmo.

 

[big dog cowboy]

They wanted to waste a second rounder on a backup run blocking tight end

Who are you talking about?
