He has continually outperformed zeke, and this weekend was no different. I dont care who the defense was, but they had the full week to prepare for pollard, not zeke. He went out and average 9 yards a carry and scored 3 touchdowns. His last touchdown was absurd. Zeke would have lost 4 yards.
pollard is a lot faster and more athletic, but zeke is way better at blocking and catching out of the backfield. Pollard is more explosive, but zeke is more of a power runner. Pollard is good in the ways that the fans will notice. Fans only see the 9 yards per carry, but they don't see his pathetic blocking. I personally think that him and zeke are very comparable, and they will be a good 1-2 punch

You can say what you want about blocking, and I didn’t watch the film, but we seemed to do fine with offense, even with the poor blocking. Haha. Pollard is a better runner in every way. At some point in the season, and I’m not sure if its still true, pollard averaged more yards after contact than zeke averaged per carry. That’s crazy.
