Mike Martz Says He’d Bench Zeke For Tony Pollard, ‘He’s The Better Of The Two’

Ezekiel Elliott would be riding a great deal of pine if Mike Martz supervised in Dallas … informing TMZ Sports he thinks Tony Pollard ought to be the Cowboys’ beginning RB.

The previous St. Louis Rams head coach stated he’d make the modification right away if he remained in Mike McCarthy‘s shoes … describing he thinks Pollard is just the very best runner on the Cowboys — and has actually been for a while now.

“Pollard is the better of the two backs,” Martz stated … prior to including, “I think Pollard has been more productive in the last three years with the opportunities that he’s had.”

Of course, Zeke has actually been entrenched as Dallas’ RB1 considering that he was prepared in 2016 — and hasn’t moved off that area, although Pollard has actually relatively been much better.

Since 2020, Pollard has actually hurried for 1,660 lawns and 11 TDs on 312 brings. In that very same amount of time, Elliott’s hurried for 2,424 lawns and 20 TDs with almost double the brings (590).

Martz states from whatever he’s seen, Pollard ought to be the 1A to Zeke’s 1B — however he informed us he’s quite sure the huge $90 MILLION agreement Jerry Jones offered Zeke is contributing in everything.

“I think the owner, you know, they’re into him for a lot of money,” Martz stated. “And in Dallas, normally that stuff should never come into it, but in Dallas, I think it probably does.”

Martz’ option to that? Start Zeke, however still provide Pollard most of the work.
