This isn't rocket science, Elliott is the short yardage/goal line guy who brings plus pass protection, Pollard is the big play weapon who the staff needs to design creative ways to get him the ball while he's also capable of a handful of traditional carries.

Split the carries relatively equally depending on game flow, with a lean to Pollard given his ability in the passing game.

Turpin leads the league in PR average, and with a meaningful enough sample size (4).

Dare I say, Turpin Time?
So cool that he's legit good. You had to wonder if he would look ordinary against NFL talent, but no. He has it.

He was a legit returner in college so I felt pretty good about that aspect of the game. He probably won't give us much outside of a few gadget plays on offense but he should solidify the PR/KR position for at least 2 years or so.

I was hopeful too. He appears to be the real deal, now offense may be another story.

I think they both have usefulness. Pollard is the better runner. Even between the tackles he finds the creases and gets through them better than Zeke. But head up on a short yardage, I trust Zeke to still knock a guy backwards for the yard or two you need.

And honestly, Pollard isn't a 20 touch a game guy and so Zeke is a nice change of pace to split with and help keep Pollards explosive ability fresh.

Just use both guys and ride the hot hand at times. It's pretty simple. And ultimately make sure you keep Pollard fresh so that you don't get your smaller RB best up and worn down.

Shittier version of Tiki Barber & Brandon Jacobs?

Yeah I mean kind of. It's used by a lot of NFL teams. Very few are running one guy out there as a workhorse. I mean the Packers for example are doing similar with Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon.

This seemed like a good idea at the time.

It’s amazing how fucking stupid this fan base is, and even worse is how they lick the saltiness right off Jerry’s ballsack. PT Barnum could only have hoped to be Jerry Jones.

Am I hearing this correctly? Did Jimmuh influence Landry regime to draft Irvin?
