Twitter: Zeke is a progress stopper. Pollard should be the starter

[CowboyRoy]

Pollard has better numbers than Zeke going on 2+ years now. The average fan just can’t see past total yards. Zeke has more total yards because he gets more carries. Pollard has a higher yards per touch and a much higher broken tackle percentage than Zeke since 2019.

These are the same fans that talked about how good Jaylon was because he led the team in tackles. They’re a little slow to catch on.

Pollard actually led the league on broken tackle percentage or something dumb like that last year.

Or was #2 to Henry.

If Pollard was the featured back he wouldn't be as nearly as successful. The term change of pace back is deemed for a reason

No offense but this is a huge load of Kentucky Derby poopie. There's absolutely nothing to suggest that if Pollard were to get 15-20 carries a game that he would somehow be less explosive. Horrible comment.

 

[RoyTheHammer]

Why can’t we be happy having both?

We can. As long as the better back who constantly shows better production and burst and elusiveness starts to see more of the 70% side of a 70/30 split.

 

[MWH1967]

Glad we have these two. Maybe we can keep the legs under both now.

 

[Whirlwin]

Pollard needs to see the ball more going forward. Dak ain't the guy anymore.

I guess you don’t realize it. They play different positions

Opps. I meant Zeke, not Dak.

No different then when we had Julius Jones and Barber, Barber was always better as the coming off the bench back. Right now we have a very good situation going. Why change it?

“Tony Pollard is a change of pace back.”


Tony Dorsett: 5’11 192

Tony Pollard 6’0 215

Zeke is elite blocking. That’s why he will stay 1.

What they have works and is a good thing. It’s going to earn a decent payday for TP20

 

[mardwin]

$ 90 million dollars say that Pollard will never replace zeke .

Zeke will replace himself. After watching Derrick Henry yesterday makes me mad Dallas paid Zeke $90M to be a fullback.

21 can't outrun anyone. He's done.

This stuff has the tenants at the local Senior's Home laughing before lunch. Way to go to give them humor like this. Well done.

 

[Xy_Oldone]

Pollard did a great job. But I wouldn't replace Zeke yet

 

[OmerV]

Pollard got more touches than Zeke, so what difference did it make that he wasn’t listed as the starter? Besides, this shared workload was great. I see know reason not to keep sharing the workload.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

There is no evidence that he cant handle a bigger load. Never been asked to.

Ask yourself ....why.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

It’s obvious that Pollard is better. They should probably split the snaps 50/50 if you don’t want Zeke getting butthurt and to keep Pollard fresh.

What a refreshing, civil, mature take on the matter.

18 touches for Zeke, 16 for Pollard.

I don't care. Let him laugh. Alexander doesn't have the guts to show up here today.

 

[Whirlwin]

Ouch

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

Zeke's strength is running north-south, off tackle. .... going lateral shows his lack of speed. I think its a good one two punch for now. Share the work load.

Was never a thing zeke did. You can go all the way back to Bama and Oregon games.

Not sure why we can't be grateful having both of the football players.

I guess people think they are so cool and in the know bashing our own players.
