Get Ready for Deeuuuuuuuuuce!

Not saying Vaughn is a Sanders quality back at all.

Continuing to compare him to Sanders who’s one of the top three backs in NFL history is silly.

Glad that wasn't me.

SMH.

The Deuce Vaughn hype continues and now it’s creating Super Bowl talk. I’m pulling for the guy, but some of you are going way overboard. Lol Never have I seen this much hype for a Cowboys player drafted this low.

He was drafted low strictly due to size. If he weighed 200 or so, he'd have been a 2nd round pick.

You started off your post mentioning Barry Sanders. Lol You’re not saying he’s Barry Sanders, I get that but you are comparing them.

 

[KJJ]

Damn....
Can we wait and he if he makes the final roster before we start comparing him to one of the greatest?

A lot of fans here can’t wait. They’ve been lathering him with anointing oil ever since we drafted him.

So??? What's the problem? Does it bother you that much? If so, stay out of this thread unless you want to start a fight?

Dare to dream.....

I'm excited about the upcoming season as well but I don;t plan to rely on an undersized rookie free agent. I'm just not buying the hype although I'm willing to be the first to eat crow if the unlikely occurs.

I'm excited about all the current young player's improvement, especially the 2nd year players like Williams, Ferguson, Bland. and Clark. Also, the new veteran additions to the team should be a great improvement. I'm excited about the potential of our rookie 1st round pick.

I see Vaughn as a practice squad player this season with some possibility in the future. Something tells me that we will hear more about him in his future as a scout, coach, or even executive.

 

[pancakeman]

'tis the season!

The only one who has a problem is you. I’ll give my opinions whether you like them or not. You’re the one trying to start a fight. Take a chill pill and relax! Lol

Practice Squad???

Oh Lordy.

Without naming a specific player or team, what is the usual destination of a RB drafted in the 6th round?

He isn't like a normal 6th rounder. The Cowboys are going RBBC. He will have a role.

 

[Bagman]

He’s not going to get that many touches per game. He may not have one game where he has that many touches. Pollard only had five games last season where he had 15 or more touches. Some of you don’t seem to realize it’s not going to be as easy in the NFL for him to find creases. Someone who watched all his games last season said he was getting stopped at the line of scrimmage a lot. There’s a reason he lasted until the sixth round.

Totally agree with you. I'm just being Captain Obvious. Without a decent amount of touches, he won't be able to showcase his potential value.

 

[buybuydandavis]

To be used often as a runner in the backfield he’s going have to make a lot of plays. Even with all the big plays Pollard was making it took time for him to get enough carries to satisfy fans. If Vaughn starts jitterbugging around a lot and can’t get past the scrimmage when given an opportunity he won’t get many carries. He’s going to have to pop some runs early on.

I'm in the Deuce Skeptic Camp, but I don't think people give him enough credit for his receiving.
Looks like the most natural receiver of our gadget backs going back a decade.
It's being a dual threat that will get him on the field.

If there’s one area where I think he could be real good it would be as a receiver in the slot or coming out of the back. Anything that will get him out in space.

We haven't won a Super Bowl since the days of Moose Johnston. Remember him? Every time he would get the ball, the crowd would roar "Moooooooose," which just seemed demoralizing for the opposition.

Now, we have Deeuuuuuuuuce in our backfield, and you don't think the crown will adapt the old Moose call to fit Deuece's name?

Man, I can't wait for football season.

The more tape I watch on Deuece, the more I know we'll be just fine at RB. He's just one piece of the puzzle, but this is going to be a solid team, ladies and gents. Get ready Cowboy fans, the doom and gloom days are almost over.

Think he has a shot at 2,000 yards?

Reading posts here at the Zone, I think he has chance!

 

[John813]

I went to the stadium to ask fans what they would say but was met with silence in the stands.

Literally no one said Deeeuuccee

 

[Typhus]

Ok, but would you say he’s a better prospect than Bijan Robinson?

That is like comparing a Maserati to a Mazda Miata.

 

[charron]

I think skill set he will be fine. I do worry about him taking a lot of punishment and if he can hold up

 

[Typhus]

Some here have claimed Vaughn was the best back in the draft. If he turns out to be a good player, there’s going to be fans on this board claiming that I said he was going to suck and that’s not true! I’ve already had someone claim that I’m saying he’s going to suck. Lol What I’m saying and have been saying is he’s not going to be Barry Sanders, Emmitt Smith, Adrian Peterson or some of the other HOF backs that fans are comparing him with him. He may very well end up a good player but if he ends up in the Hall of Fame, then I was wrong about him. Lol

Is somewhere between a Derrick Henry and Dave Meggett an acceptable comparison standard?

The Deuce is 5'6" not 5'5"...
He got this!
