Video: Zeke vs. Pollard - An interesting breakdown

[CowboyRoy]

Don't be shocked - it probably isn't true. Give me Pollard over Zeke. I want to see a player on the field who is playing for the team and not his own bank account.

The guy bashed Zeke about as nicely as he could on this one. There is no hiding the truth. Pollard is the better back and its really not close.

Basically word for word what CowboyRoy has been preaching. Zeke cant get outside with his lack of speed which makes him predictable, which makes our run game predictable. Defenses know this and simply stack the middle area which makes it even more difficult for him. Zeke cant break tackles or make people miss.

LOL.................9 broken tackles on the year? WOW!!! I didnt think it was even that horrid. As I have stated, Zeke's efficiency ratings are at the bottom of the NFL where Pollard are at the top.

Pollard is the better back with the ball in his hands and simply does more with what he gets.

Zeke apologists arent going to like this one. The truth hurts sometimes.

Oh boy...you just referred to yourself in 3rd person. Good lord that takes a lotta eggs. You arwe worse than Jaylon...whoring out a made up brand...thinking people care. Wish we could drop your ego, contract and piss poor performance like we did Jaylon.

And a LIAR....the guy didn't say any such thing. How pathetic can you get...lying about what everyone can see for themselves.

Thanks for posting.
Read in another thread that zeke has a faster 40 time than Pollard.
I was shocked and surprised.

Was that 40 time recent, or from the combine?

Lol pollard is 4.4. Zeke at this stage is 4.6

These are teammates working toward the same goals, not against each other. The premise is a non-sequitor.

He's not pitting them against each other. He's comparing their strengths and weaknesses, and pointing out what each is best used for.

I'm sure his comparisons are fair and objective, including how both pass protect.

Watch the video and see.

4.6 for Zeke is being generous.

I dont see Zeke doing anything to help out Pollard to be honest.

 

[john van brocklin]

I do. I admit, Zeke's paycheck doesn't seem to be commensurate with his output, but their skillsets complement each other, IMO.

Yep, Zeke is probably playing his last season here unless he reworks that contract.

Could be the other poster was listing the combine numbers?

 

[john van brocklin]

Zeke is a track guy. It shouldn't surprise you. The video shows you why it might APPEAR differently.

Thanks, I am easily surprised lol

Don't know, the info was contained in the
: "why speed matters" thread.
Chk it out.

I think all the 40 times in the OP were from the combine, if that's the post you're referring to.

Yep, that's the post I was referring to.
I bet the abuse Zeke has suffered in his career has slowed him down some.

I'm sure that happens, when you're used as a workhorse for years. That's why I don't get mad or call him names, as long as he's doing his best out there. That's not to say I want to keep him here if we can do better, but if he gets the job done, I'm all in.

For the life of me I can't figure out why fans want their to be contention and controversy. We should feel lucky to have these two.

Oh wait.....I can figure it out. They want to think their self-appointed GM expertise matters to anyone.

The real problem is our OC lack of being able to design an effective and lethal scheme to use both of them properly. Moore makes zeke raise his hand for a substitution is sickening and pathetic.

He's been asked to do more than just burst through holes. Taking on Defensive linemen and linebacker blocks....he's had to put on some weight. All because we can't get good dependable offensive linemen. Love Pollard but he's just not able to do that kind of work...unless he puts on some pounds. Then he'll be slower.

So we have the bigger (and slower) Zeke and a lightening Tony. It SHOULD be formidable. Moore doesn't want a formidable run game. He wants NCAA Mountain West Passing stats. Wasting both guys.
