Cowboys News: Tony Pollard can give Dallas the most dynamic backfield in the league

If Tony Pollard is able to play up to his potential, he can turn the Dallas backfield into the best group in the league.

Once Pollard receives the ball, he does a good job of quickly reading his blocks. With Dalton Schultz's inside leverage against the edge defender, Pollard understands he can't bounce the ball outside, so he has to execute a bang read behind his fullback's block or bend his path backside. With Connor Williams successfully reaching the play-side defensive tackle, Tyron Smith engulfing a play-side linebacker at the second level and Jamize Olawale picking up the final linebacker, Pollard makes the correct decision to bang the run into the C-gap.
