I need TP for my bunghole
As popular as they were in the 90s, Beavis & Butthead inside jokes have not carried well today. Mention cornholio, TP bunghole, the uhh huuh laugh and you're lucky to have one other person get it.

You must be hanging out with some young ass people if they don't remember Beavis&Butthead

Opposite, actually. Older folks that quote 80s stuff. Go figure.

Caddy shack, The Jerk, Stripes quotes go far.

That's weird, I'm at the older side of Gen x and remember damn near all the B&B episodes, but then I actually remember when MTV played music

A counterpoint to Ezekiel Elliott who got infected with COVID 19.

Less Zeke, more TP makes for a stronger overall running game. Pollard’s like Blake Jarwin, kind of under the radar but very productive when he gets his opportunities.

Would be nice if Olawale had skill as a receiver. I see no other weak link.

Pollard should be happy with his 8 carries a game until he doesn't give away soft fumbles like a little bitch with the season on the line in Philly.

Elliott is and will continue to be the workhorse, Pollard is nothing but a potentially nice change of pace who can provide juice in small spurts.

The whole team outside of Michael Gallup turned in a gutless performance in Philly. I can’t put it all on Pollard when Cox totally blew up the play and Pollard got stripped after getting swarmed.

We played like a leaderless bunch of soft turds that day, and I can’t scapegoat one guy who got a half handful of touches if even that.

No way what had been a struggling Eagles defense should have outplayed our offense like that, but they did. You can’t scapegoat Garrett either.

Dak was playing hurt, but he also turned in a bad game at the worst time. Cooper disappeared, and Elliott did nothing until ironically just before Pollards fumble.

Basically they struggled just like they had against any team with any heart at all all year.

The illusion that we were this offensive juggernaut was just that, an illusion. The 6 out of 7 total cream puffs we demolished made us look way better than we were. Way better.

McCarthy has to fix a very sick team. The hard part is they have talent, and believe they are better than they are. Except for Michael Gallup... that kid has heart.

They played with plenty of heart and toughness through a good amount of adversity in 2018 with mostly the same personnel. Last year was what it looks like when a coach loses a team, if we didn't have so much talent we would've went 5-11 or worse.

As far as Pollard, I wouldn't pencil him as anything more than a change of pace, complementary back until or unless he proves he can consistently handle 15-20+ carries a game over weeks and months at a time.

That won't happen until Elliott is gone, nor should it, and perhaps not even then.

At this point I'd say he is a nice change of pace back. I think he proved that last year. But I'm with you. Carrying the ball 20 times in a game is a different animal.

As everyone knows, I build cornhole boards on the side. And, every. single. time. I say cornhole in front of a Gen-Xer they giggle. Never fails. :lol

No one should be calling for 20 carries a game from Pollard. But he should get the ball a lot more than he does. The wheels are poised to fall off Elliott in a year or so if you keep him at this ridiculous Garrett-retard pace.

Since we seem committed to keeping a goddamned fullback, that position should also be able to provide 3-5 meaningful carries in a game as well as be a threat to catch the football. Instead we have Olawale. I don't get it.

And I'm sorry, but I trust no supposed "leader" on this team after that gutless debacle in Philly.

It's the same as in 2010 with Wade Phillips, a major underlying problem was a serious lack of real, hardened leaders on this soft team. Ware, Witten... they just weren't the kind of leaders a team responds to. Too many choir boys on the field just doesn't work.

We saw what kind of leader Zeke is in Denver 2018. There's no answer there. It has to be Dak. Giving up on the field is not acceptable.

I didn't think we were a deserving playoff team in 2019, but Philly was a shell of itself and still beat our asses when it mattered.

And what would be funny if it wasn't some guy's health we were talking about is LVE is the last guy you'd expect to have neck problems from looking at him.

That thing is a monster.
