MATT HARMON: This is the last time we talk Tony Pollard on the Coping Corner segment of the People's Panic Meter. So whatever thoughts you got, buddy, let them out.
ANDY BEHRENS: I don't think it's maybe as bleak as a lot of people think it is. I think they're still going to run Pollard a lot. But I can't-- obviously, we're too deep into this nonsense for me to make people feel better about it.
MATT HARMON: I don't think Tony Pollard has been bad this year. I think he's just been a fine starting running back. We were right to complain to start this year-- y'all are not getting the ball to CeeDee Lamb enough. You're not putting him in the right positions, and it's making your offense worse.
Well, now they've done that, and their offense is electric. CeeDee Lamb, I think, belongs in the Offensive Player of the Year conversation. I think Dak is going to get himself into the MVP fringe conversation, because there's just no real great candidate there, with the way he's playing right now.
So look-- and again, back to Tony Pollard. Guy's doing his job. The team is built the right way and winning the right way, and he's still not getting you the fantasy production that you wanted. That's why I said last week, he's in it is what it is territory. And that is why he is in the Coping Corner slash Pollard Playground.
