I see a Pollard that breaks lots of tackles. Are you saying Zeke breaks tackles? I must have missed those.
Zeke did play well. Pollard just played better. He was key to our win. He gave us the big play element to our run game. Without that, teams will continue to play a 2 deep zone and dare us to run.
Pollard played very well today. Was an asset out there today.
When he is out there they didn't game plan for him to run but to catch. Great, that's the purpose and that's where he is best suited. Next week they will notice and the RB would be nice to see 2 out there more often with Shultz out there and the Wideouts.
Better disguised formation.
All our lost starters on defense and we still came out winning scoring 20 is a showcase of winning short yardage football and doing what you have to do with the clock.
We are built on offense both ways and are clearly looking for our defensive identity. I like what I saw in Parson and LVE and Diggs.
Diggs is high reward high risk with the coverage scheme, but he isn't really getting beat. He's where he should be.
This is a defensive personnel shift. I think this injury thing is a way to diplomatically impose it. 3-4 and Parsons got through after a while but had that closing speed Herbert didn't understand to get that sack call.
They're literally labbing on defense in real games.
