More mobility for Dak Prescott could mean even higher volume for WR CeeDee Lamb
Brian Fluharty-USA TODAY Sports The pieces of the Cowboys offense are interlocked. It will be a long wait until the Dallas Cowboys are back to making any real news on the field, but they left a shortened minicamp with some enticing changes on offense. The Cowboys are teasing fans with a promised increased role for Tony Pollard as well as more plays that take advantage of Dak Prescott’s mobility. Prescott throwing from outside the pocket and picking up timely first downs on the ground have been a strength of his game since he broke out in 2016 as a rookie, but he was...

These 4 players will compete for the Cowboys third running back position on the depth chart
Photo by Robin Alam/Icon Sportswire via The competition for the reserve running back position in Dallas is wide open. Around the Dallas Cowboys universe, there has been a good debate as to who should be the lead dog in the Cowboys backfield. Some will say Ezekiel Elliott is the lead back, and others will say Tony Pollard should be the lead back. What is for certain is that, barring an injury, Elliott and Pollard are locked in as the top two running backs for the 2022 NFL season. Behind them the answer is less clear, and to be frank, unproven. That does not mean the...

PFF rank Dallas Cowboys running back tandem in top 10 of the league
Geoff Burke-USA TODAY Sports The pairing of Ezekiel Elliott and Tony Pollard is a big play pairing, but where would you rank them amongst the leagues best back fields? Ever since Ezekiel Elliott got his contract, eyes have been on him and his production. Many fans and media pundits alike do not love the idea of paying running backs a premium price which lends itself to scrutiny when your numbers dip after receiving said contract. A deeper dive into Zeke shows you that he is still a productive back, and someone who surely helps a team succeed in a multitude of ways, but...

Report: Cowboys ‘explicitly told’ Tony Pollard after last season he will have a larger role in 2022
Tim Heitman-USA TODAY Sports Will the Cowboys make good on their word this time? It is difficult to find anyone who disagrees with the idea that Tony Pollard needs to be used more by the Dallas Cowboys. The fact that he is entering a contract year in 2022 has heightened that need given his likely departure next spring. Pollard is down to be used more and is even open to whatever creative ways it will take (like working more out of the slot). He is one of the more dangerous players on the field with the ball in his hands and you would think that the Cowboys would be the...

Cowboys Tony Pollard ready to play in the slot if that will get him on the field more
Photo by George Walker/Icon Sportswire via The Cowboys versatile running back doesn’t mind doing a little receiving. The Dallas Cowboys have Ezekiel Elliott as their lead lead back, and it doesn’t seem anything short of injury will change that in 2022. The challenge for the Cowboys, and offensive coordinator Kellen Moore, is getting more touches for Tony Pollard, who has proven to be a productive option when given the chance. Elliott is a workhorse but Pollard is the more explosive option who has the potential to score anytime he touches the ball. Numerous...

Tony Pollard can be a Deebo Samuel-like offensive weapon for the Cowboys in 2022

It’s time for that to change before it’s too late. Tony Pollard is one of the more versatile and explosive players in the entire league, let alone on the Cowboys roster. There’s...
