When we line up a te we're just inviting a top linebacker to the play

They aren't good enough blockers or receivers to beat anybody at the playoff level

They sneak open on occasion and rack up rinky dink completions taking what the defense gives them but only have 2 playoff tds since 95'

A 1 yard TD by Phillips and a 6 yarder by #82

The scheme is inept with Checkdown tes who aren't great blockers

It needs a dominant te or 2 to make it work.

More wr and Rbs please. It's been this way since 2010

Wake up Kellen Moore

Zeke's washed at this point. You can sign an RB like Malik Davis off the scrap heap who can rush better than him.
Davis got 1/2 the targets of zeke and got an 18 yarder and 23 yarder while our 18 million dollar RB got 6 yards

There's no Thunder to go with the Lightning hahaha

I wish we could take a poll which rb should start the game. Pollard vs Zeke

If we start Zeke over Pollard in the playoffs I'm gonna feel like this coaching staff has let us down. Js

Wake up Kellen Moore!!!

Can you name me one Pro bowl rb that splits carries at a 50/50 split rate or Not???

Did Barry Sanders split carries at a 50/50 rate hmmm

Did he have a big power back loosening up the defense?? Ha ha ha

Zeke was a league leader, a pro bowler, and All pro.

But the keyword is WASSSSS

He has no Burst anymore. He's just a short yardage back and a designated blocker because somebody can't handle the pass protection
He never got those yards in the first quarter. Neither did emmitt.

Have a good night.

Yes I agree. How DARE...fans of a team...be fanboys.

How ridiculous.
We should hate our players.
Oh look @Rockport ....me being positive and defending our team.

Still wanna bet that I'm "always negative"?

How many would it take? Name the number.
One thing I'll wager you on...I have less insults against forum members than you.

Then I'd say give the winning rb Pollard his 20 carries first lol

But we'd rather start and play a gimped up RB "that were overpaying" and lose in the playoffs than stick with the hottest proven probowl RB.

It's not a talent problem that's holding this team back from playoff success. It's how we use our talent that holds us back.

Let's pay Pollard 19 million right now so we can use our best player more exclusively next week. Ha ha ha

Fans already got let down by getting rid of Cooper and this will be the icing on the cake for ignorance!! Urgh

Wake up Kellen Moore!!!!

Anybody that has 2 rbs splitting carries 50/50 based upon salary alone and not talent is an EMBARRASSMENT to the Sport of football

Real Cowboy Fans that want to win some playoff games and a Superbowl need to be heard

Tom Landry, Jimmy Johnson, and Bill Parcells would never split carries 50/50 I promise ya

Real Cowboys fans would and should not care about the contracts. What good does it do to whine about it.

I don't care if Zeke makes 50 million and Pollard makes 50 dollars I'm using the Pro Bowl RB until proven otherwise.

He hasn't given us any reasons not to use him more!!!!

Zeke has put up 31 yards and 46 yards in our last 2 playoff losses While the pro bowler was on the BENCH!! Ha ha ha

If Zeke pulls a hammy our odds of winning the Superbowl will increase dramatically!!!!

Wake up Kellen Moore!!!

Name me some coaches that would keep their best player off the field just based upon a set 50/50 split schedule at RB?? That's not determined based upon skillsets or potency.

Pollard needs more involvement as a wr when Zeke is in running the ball also imo

But I'd mask my play calls around my fastest and best playmakers Pollard, Lamb, and Hilton first using everybody else is just complimentary.

I'd be rotating Davis and Zeke rushing with Pollard in the slot more with lamb and Hilton.

Pollard is a player that can play wr and double as a RB so there is no reason to not to involve him more often as a wr. He's very Deebo!'ish

He has the speed and burst to outrun most lbs and dbs in open space

I'd use pollard as my 3rd wr and dual rb formation w Zeke. Not just as a RB.

But I'm keeping Pollard on the field way more often as a receiver because he always has the best separation.

Pollard is a good rb but he's a dynamic receiver also.

He could prolly switch positions to wr imo.

I'd take his scoring production over anybody else we have.

He's not getting many easy short yardage goal line runs so his 12 tds from scrimmage are phenomenal for a Part Time Player!!

When a part time player scores 12 tds and he's not getting many goal line attempts thats Nothing less than Phenomenal.

He'd have 18+ tds easy if he just played more snaps

Esp the easy goal line carries
