Tony Pollard, Not Ezekiel Elliott, Must Be Lead RB For the Cowboys Offense

The chants of "Free Tony Pollard" will grow louder with each passing week.

The Dallas Cowboys running back is on the verge of stardom as a true breakout performer. The only thing preventing the fourth-year ball-carrier from doing so is the organization's insistence on keeping Ezekiel Elliott (and his ridiculous contract) as the team's starting back.

It's clear who the more explosive and effective runner is at this point in their careers.

During Monday's 23-16 victory over the New York Giants, Pollard carried the ball 13 times for 105 yards at an impressive 8.1 yards per attempt.
