Zeke was looking fantastic and Pollard coming in usually led to a negative play or a breakdown in pass protection

ultimately this is on Moore

if you see your star RB averaging 5 yards a carry, don’t ruin the damn momentum.


Pollard HASNT EVER, WILL NEVER be better than Zeke

This is what we call overreacting to a single game.

Over a full season last year Pollard was statistically one of the most dynamic players in the NFL.

He is a very bad blocker and we have always known this, but it's on Moore to make sure he has the right personnel in for the right plays.

Maybe but it's no secret Todd wasn't going to let us run the ball. Hell, if we're being honest, a high school coach could have drawn a plan to stop our offense, stop the run, and force Dak to try to beat you with only one top receiver.......who you're taken out.

Zeke was the best player on the field for the offense Sunday. When Zeke is healthy, Pollard is not in the same class.

All? No, but a few here went hard in the paint. But let's remember it's ONE game. And Moore is awful

That's because they went by an average. It was never an Apples to Apples comparison.

Zeke looked great !
Hope he can keep it up without the threat of a passing game!

Except that was the opposite of their game plan. Their game plan was the same as the 49ers which was drop back into coverage and dare you to throw it trusting that their DL can get pressure because they are better than the Dallas OLine. It was the exact same game plan and it worked because they did not pound it with the hot hand. Zeke was getting good yards every carry and they did not just keep running it down their throat.

Some of the Pollard plays you can't blame on him. Literally was a lost from the moment he touched the ball.

That was Tony's worst game as a pro. It doesn't prove anything or detract from the previous 2 seasons. Its not like anyone on offense played well.

Add Turpin in there too. I said it before the game that this is a step-up he'll need time to adjust to.

Pollard isn't better than Zeke? Agreed.

But Pollard has skill and potential but our brain dead OC doesn't know how to use him properly. He is a speedy, change of pace back. He's never going to be a workhorse like Zeke. But of course, Dallas never lets these guys develop to use them properly. Another big example was Martellus Bennett.

Why should Pollard be any different than 95% of the roster. Over rating the Cowboy roster by fans and media is as predictable as the tides.

Posters hating on Zeke is sure fire sign of a shock bot.

Dude has never looked bad except when he was being a company man and fumbling on purpose during the throwaway year.

Dude always looks like one of the best backs in football with the ball in his hands. Plus he can catch and block.

The hate on this dude doesnt make sense. Hate the contract not the player.
