Pollard definitely has some ball security issues, but this wouldn’t be the case if he was getting the 5-7 carries a game that were alluded to in the offseason. How long until we can move on from Zeke with little cap fallout?
They could cut him after next season and save $6 million against the cap, although if they wait until after 2022, which would be this season plus another two full seasons, they'd save about $9 million, which I think is the most likely scenario unless he falls off a cliff next year. Despite him lacking in explosive plays I think he's still been very solid this year, he kind of carried us against the Rams and was a steadying influence against Atlanta.
He's 9th in the league in rushing but I think he was like 3rd going into the Seattle game, he had a horrendous game up there but if I had to guess he's still going to finish the season top 5 in rushing yards.
He played like shit at Seattle in 2018 too before having a great overall season, there might just be something about the city/stadium (weed) that screws with him.
