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

So, the moral of the story is this one game defines Pollard, and the other 46 he has played in mean nothing. Is that about right?

I'll give you the pass protection element - it was never a secret that Zeke is good in that role, and Pollard not so much. Agreed that part is on Moore.

For that matter, agreed that Zeke should have seen more touches. That doesn't mean Zeke is always the better option, but in this particular game he was more effective and deserved more chances

Peeps like to dismiss this, but it's a basic requirement league-wide, several teams are 3 deep with the RBs that can do it all.
we just need him to run fast and jump high. lmao, blocking is overrated.

Sunday night Tony Pollard got abused on Blitz pick up , He got shoved to the side and Dak got sacked. It happened over and Over again. I'm not blaming him . A coaches job is to take the talents of a player

and put him in the best position to achieve success. The Bucs were pressuring our QB all game. Zeke is better at blitz pick up. It should've been a No Brainer.

That and 10 carries for 50 yards. The game was in doubt well into the fourth. Where's the toughness . If I know you're not going to run I can tee off on you

I hope Kellen Moore can correct this

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.
But they didn;t stop zeke. WE DID. :mad:

Never liked Elliott from the get go. And now it shows why. Elliotts longest run was 7 yards Sunday night. His numbers continue declining while Pollard is progressing. Elliott will be gone next year being Jerry is tired of paying $14 million dollars per sesaon to a bust RB. Pollard will be done his rookie contract after this season. Betcha a cookie Pollard will get a nice deal w/Dallas while the "Zeke" fans will be rooting for the franchise he goes to.
Here is another fan that thinks he knows football. Mock and ridicules others. SOme of us watche demmitt get a few yards oper carry in the 1st qtr or even half...then we were smart enough to FEED HIM and watch him tear up in the 3rd and 4th qtr.

Pure hater right because he ignores Zeke style...and the history of ANY power runner style. You beat em them tear em down. Just like Emmitt did. How many yards does Emmitt get on 10 FREAKING CARRIES? about 50.


A couple weeks ago...THIS guy...tearing zeke up because of 3 yards per carry. Zeke ups it to 5+ so now we have to mock and ridicule THAT.

Pollard will get our QB killed but let's roll with...because this guy says so? When he clearly has not clue about football?

Believe he averaged over 5yds a carry,, thats the baseline what you require/need.
On just 10 carries most early in the game. Anyone with a slight clue about football.....knows that's pretty good early on and the stats multiply later in the game.

The zeke hate is...well...admirable I guess.

Pollard is better for the simple fact he’s capable of a big play and Zeke isn’t.

It’s a big play league and handing to Zeke has got us no where.

Not rippin at ya dude , But it's a passing league , it's a big play league, Says who. One thing it is and has always been, it's a move the chains league 4 x 25 or 20 x 5 . In fact 20x5 is tried and true because it keeps the opposing offense off the

field. Or did we forget we playing Tom Brady ? Just asking Bro

Think whatever you want man. I keep getting proven right as time goes on.

Have fun with these Zeke and Dak contract deals. It’s playing out brilliantly.

I truly believe that our running game will be our identity going forward, until we have someone at QB that can consistently threaten an opponent's secondary.
That I am quite sure of.

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.


THANK YOU!!!!!! CLEARLY OVER EXAGGERATING!!!!!

Its just continues to be the "Bad Game Plan", game one, so saying continues refers to past reference.
There were passing plays called that should never have been called.
Why is Moore so blind to intermediate offensive concept when you have the players like Ferg and Hendershot with hands, this is what he has at his disposal and he dismisses the obvious.
Not saying that Dak wouldn't have gotten hurt if we had been running more 12 personal but Dak needed some inside options that just never were available.
If Moore doesnt dial this offense down now that we have Rush installed, than Rush will be going on the IR next.
