Zeke does block for Pollard. Pollard blocks for Pollard sometimes. But nobody runs out a 2-1 FB full-time anymore. Another blocking surface would be better served with more athletic TEs. Game's about speed, spreading defenders out and playing to numbers in the box along with all the cat and mouse games which entail. Playing 2-1 formations as a base offense isn't really today's football. Defenders are too fast.
We scored 34 points today. That was enough to beat all but 3 teams today and the other 2 played each other. Offense wasn't our issue today...... It was defense. We couldn't stop them in the 2nd half. They scored 3 straight TDs in the 2nd half and if not for a luckyish fumble, they probably score on that possession too. Why is it when a team loses, it's always the offenses fault..... The offense has issues definitely, but the defense sucked shit today. We shouldn't be expected to score 35 points every game to win. If we had scored 10 points today, then let's reconsider what we're doing schematically, but this was more about game management, specific play matching, and allowing too many points.
