I do find it interesting that since Zeke came back from sitting out because of tweak of his knee he and Pollard have nearly identical ypc averages. You people who want him gone need to get over it. When healthy he produces .. Pollard delivers more big plays, Zeke delivers more tough yards.. The end result is winning football. Which is all that should matter. But alas with this fan base, there always has to be drama.. Which is just stoopid.

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.

He played good

But maybe Pollard breaks 2-3 more big runs and has 175 and 4 tds had he gotten all the carries. We can't say that about Zeke.

They just a better committee

Pollard is definitely the #1 RB by a longshot until we get down to the 3-4 yard line

Their ypc aren't nearly identical. Since Zeke has came back from injury he's has averaged 4.3 ypc and Pollard has averaged 4.9 ypc

Shout out to Zeke for moving up 4 spots and climbing into the top 50 NFL all-time rushing leaders.

Zeke didn't lose his job to begin with. It was decided to have both Pollard and Zeke highly active in every game, barring injury.

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.
Can you please quote me saying it was a “bad performance”?

And you guys keep on bringing up Emmitt when the game has changed so much from his ere. Since you are now satisfied with 4 ypc, then Randle did a good job for us in 2015, right? You did say 3 x 4 ypc = 1st down. Why did we need Zeke in 2016 when we could have just kept Joseph.

My mistake.. I forgot about his first game back at the Vikings where he got a lot of goal line carries. I should have said the last three games ..

Zeke and Tony compliment each other. And if one is down for the game the other picks up the slack. If both are on, the offense plays better.
If both are off or more like the defense does its job, then the offense struggles.

Yesterday Zeke was running hard. Sometimes those 2 and 3 yards runs, turn into 5 and 6 yards runs or more later. He did have that power run for 25 yards dragging 2 or 3 defenders with him the last 10 yards after breaking several tackles.

Tony has more power than many realize. He has shown that at times this season more so than last year. Or maybe it is because Moore is using him in that role more for us to see.
There were runs yesterday Zeke made that Tony could not have. Also there were runs Zeke got tripped up, but if Tony was in there, he could have made them miss and got more.
However you can't go by that...saying if that was Zeke or if that was Tony....it does not work that way....Because if one or the other was in it may have been a different play call.

Let’s talk reality here……your hero zeke had 1 great 25 yard run. Then he had 14 other Carrie’s for 32 yards. In short he completely sucked. He was featured in the 2nd half over pollard and it cost us. Your hero got stuffed on multiple occasions at the GL which is about all he is good for. He was sooo bad Dak had do take most of the short yardage after that. His spread out TD at the end saved an otherwise horrid day.

I like Zeke, i like what he brings to the team even though he's nowhere near the RB he used to be, but that contract is a problem and Pollard is better

Never.. .this fan base has to have drama..
Not to mention the fact that so many people get an idea in their peabrain and refuse to even think of moving on from that idea, even after their idea has been proven to be incorrect/stupid beyond any doubt.

One of those 2 yard runs was the game winning TD.
Don’t discount that short run to hurt the average.
Oh and your hero Pollard probably does not get that.
