Last season, Ezekiel Elliott and Tony Pollard began to share more of the load at running back instead of Elliott dominating the playing time. However, it doesn’t seem like that trend will continue.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said the team still expects Elliott to lead the way even though Pollard had shown the ability to contribute.
“He has to be the focal point,” Jones said about Elliott. “There is room for Pollard while Zeke is in there.”
As Elliott has gotten older, the question of how Dallas should distribute carries has only grown.
