As the Dallas Cowboys' 2023 season progresses, the conversation surrounding Tony Pollard and his role within the team has gained momentum. Jeff Cavanaugh and Jesse Holley, both prominent voices in the world of NFL analysis, have recently raised questions on the Bleav in Cowboys podcast about Pollard's performance and whether it's time to consider a more significant role for Rico Dowdle in the Cowboys' offensive scheme.

Cavanaugh's concerns are centered on Pollard's ability to make those game-changing plays that fans have come to expect. He notes that Pollard's performance has been inconsistent, leading him to question whether it's time for the Cowboys to explore other options in the backfield.

Enter Rico Dowdle, a talented running back who has shown promise whenever he's had the opportunity to touch the ball. Cavanaugh points out that Rico Dowdle possesses a different style of running compared to Pollard. "Rico tends to run with a little more thump in his step than Tony," Cavanaugh observes. Dowdle's physicality and ability to break tackles make him an intriguing candidate for a more significant role in the Cowboys' offense.
