The line was a zing in 2015. The run blocking has been ok this year. The pass blocking is great.
We had Weeden with TWill as the main passing game targets for the majority of underwear thief’s playing time that year. The level of effort to make Zeke seem better than he is since 2017 must exhaust you zealots.

Despite the Tony TD’s

When it came to banging heads - tough yards - pass protection- short yardage - it was zeke today .

Pollard was stifled today .

Houston were stout and Zeke did the business.

Zeke had 62 yards rushing. Just another average game in his average season.

TP had 42 yards and had the majority of the carries until the end of the game.

Are you saying TP was below average?
He averaged 4.2 ypc against the worst team in the league. Yeah, it’s nothing to brag about.

If you mean Zeke was handed his job back today without doing anything to earn it, sure.

OK so just to be clear, your argument is that Zeke, who not only has lower yards per rushing attempt by a mile this season, but also had lower rushing yards per attempt IN THIS GAME compared to Pollard…..somehow earned the starting role back…..based on this one performance….. where he was yet again inferior to Pollard?

He never lost it
The touches have been fairly well split all year

Did we watch the same game?
Did you see Pollards 2 touch downs?

So just cut him amirite?

And FYI, 4 yards × 3 downs is a first.

I know we live in a very screwed up world where agendas and extremism rule above all else instead of just calling a spade a spade. It is very simple. Pollard averages 5.3 ypg in his career and 5.7 ypc this year. When he puts up a 4.2 ypc game, it’s not something you go bragging about. It’s below his average. Not sure why fans can’t just be objective in their takes instead of taking a side and defending come hell or high water as if they are going to lose money on it.

Pollard and Zeke have complety different jobs. They are both very good at their jobs and we need both of them to do it for success. When will everyone realize this?
Well we need to say this when Pollard gets this kind of talk.

People go ape shirt when it's Zeke and radio silence when it's Tony.

If getting 2 TD's is stifled than what is getting only 1 TD? The fact that we featured Zeke was one of the big problems today. Didnt you notice the camera panning over to Pollard sitting on the sidelines every time Zeke got stuffed?
Pollard 4.2 YPC
Zeke 4.1 YPC.

That .1 YPC difference was HUGE.

4 ypc is not a bad performance.

Act like you've watched football before.

Expecting 5.7 or more every game is a ridiculous expectation.

Emmitt averaged 4.2 for his career. You calling a spade a spade in this example?

Rubbish.
