Deuce Vaughn getting A Lot Of Practice Snaps With 1st & 2nd Team Offense

[AsthmaField]

It looks like Deuce Vaughn is going to get a lot of touches this weekend. Here is what is in a DallasCowboys.com article today about Wednesday’s practice:

• A large portion of running back reps were given to Deuce Vaughn on Wednesday as the hero from the preseason debut saw more designed runs and passes go his way to finish off the last padded practice in Oxnard. Vaughn's evolving implementation into the offense both with the first and second-teams should increase the confidence of the rookie out of Kansas State for his future role in Dallas. (Nick Harris)

It seems like he practiced a lot with the first and second teams, so it appears like the team plans on his playing early and often. That is good, IMO, because I want to see how he performs with more decent players around him. I guess that depth chart didn’t mean a whole lot.

Anyway, it is going to be very interesting. I’m so glad football is back.

Pollard and Deuce are going to stress and stretch defenses like a rubber band, and they will I have no choice but to snap under the tension.

I had my reservations about him when we drafted him. But watching him in preseason makes me believe he can contribute to this team.

Hopefully I can still grab Deuce as a late Round pick in my fantasy FB draft. He might be getting too big for his britches at this point (see what I did there)

 

[Bob-Lillys-War]

I hope that he can deliver .

I need to see how he does picking up the blitz. I do not have any concerns with him running or catching the ball.

And our D will do the same to the opposing QB’s brain.

This is the team we’ve waited a long time for.

 

[Bob-Lillys-War]

I see a lot of potential with Deuce, his size makes him so elusive.

Its awesome to watch .

Not worth creating yet another Deuce thread so I'll throw it here: Deuce has a rather rare ability to change directions at speed. I'll bring up a name from the past in this regard, Tony Dorsett. People always commented that it was extremely rare for Tony to take a direct hit because he would always just shift away from it. Not only does this make Deuce a better runner but it mitigates his weight concerns.

I'm not going to proclaim greatness after one preseason game but I'm certainly not going to dismiss him either. Right now, I'm just going to be a fan and root for him while enjoying the ride.

"as the hero from the preseason debut "

Seriously? This is the kind of lazy reporting that both sets up Vaughn for a dropoff and belittles the word hero.

In yesterdays practice Dak tried to get him the ball on 6 straight plays to end camp.

I doubt he will have much of a blocking role. Can't see him being the tailback on passing situations. Both he and Dak will suffer for that.

He did it at K-St.

If he is going to get 1st or 2nd team reps in the game then he will have to block at some point.

[Cowboys5217]

It makes sense. When you find out that you have a playmaker you find ways to get him the ball more.

 

[baltcowboy]

Let’s see what he does at Seattle against at least their second team before we make him the best back on the team.

 

[Havic]

Love to see it.

Man, he looked electric against the Jaguars. Admittedly against scrubs.
