You all overrated Pollard

[Thomas82]

It's time to put our workhorse to work! Feed Zeke! This also takes the pressure off Cooper Rush to be the man.

Facts!!

 

[CWR]

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

TP had 6 attempts. He wasn't good, but it's not his fault the idiot coach pulled the hot hand each time. Let these guys get some rhythm. That was a luxury neither were afforded.

 

[CWR]

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.

Nobody fumbles on purpose. Give me a break.

 

[FanofJerry]

Kid I played high school football with got busted for fumbling on purpose in college for money.

It's possible that Pollard's lack of pass protection cost us the game. It was terrible.

Funny how some fans judge a player on one game.

Man we have the dumbest offensive coordinator in the league.... we were having success running the ball, then stopped. K. Moore is a garbage coordinator. He shy away from whats working, he don't make in-game adjustments..... just dumb!!

 

[Bullflop]

Pollard's lack of pass protection shows why he hasn't been used more than he has. To say it was awful would be understated.

 

[Whiskey Cowboy]

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.

The problem is protections vary based on defensive fronts and alignments. A called play could have Pollard going out for a swing pass, but the QB reads blitz and checks to protection, meaning Pollard is the last line of defense.

This could happen on any given play. If it's a called run, but the QB sees a front designed to stop the called play, the choices are either to check out of that play and possibly risk Pollard in pass pro, or call a timeout. It isn't as simple as making sure the right player is in at the right time. If he isn't good at pass pro, he's a liability. I like the guy, but you can't just sub in 21 every time there's a possibility of having your running back in pass protection. It's a tell that any defense would pick up on.

haven’t seen you post much before. i like it like that

 

[Hoofbite]

Everybody?

 

[Hoofbite]

The fact that Zeke only had 10 carries in a game that was close is an absolute joke.

Kellen better pull his head out or he's going to take the blame. I like Kellen more than most, but his game plan last week was complete garbage.

It’s just one damn game…..

 

[NoLuv4Jerry]

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.

That Immediately became the game plan of every defensive coordinator in the NFL once we let Cooper walk without an adequate replacement. It is just utter buffoonery. Which we have done before and was the reason Cooper was here in the first place. We are being trolled by this front office. I swear I am not spending one DIME on this team this year. I know if I watch they get paid....but thats it. And I will not plan my life around watching this shameful excuse of a football team. We were the ONLY team that did not score a TD opening week. All summer you prepare for week 1...and you score ONE FG??????????

 

[DallasEast]

Leon The Professional! A really good movie.

 

[Hadenough]

I was totally wrong about Zeke. I would like to apologize but I'm gonna wait until the end of the season to confirm he is back. Dak on the other hand is done. His kryptonite is cover 2 defense.

 

[dfense]

It looked to me like whenever they were in an obvious passing down and Pollard was in, they would blitz up the middle and Pollard would be stuck making a decision on who to pick up.

 

[kskboys]

Not overrated so much as fell for the old love for the backup thingie.

 

[cowboyec]

pollards piss poor performance is on kellen moore...who doesn't have the gutts to committ to the run.
its why zeke was being wasted.
