Deuce Vaughn isn't fast

[DoctorChicken]

Can I start a Deuce Vaughn thread?

I have seen anecdotes on this forum several times about Vaughn's top end speed, and the usual idea is that Deuce "is shifty, but not fast in a straight line". I think that's true for the most part. His side-to-side ability is elite, but his top end speed is not.

But I have also seen "Deuce Vaughn isn't fast" or "Deuce is too slow" several times now, and that just isn't true.







21.5+ mph on the field is ridiculous. It is plenty fast, especially for a RB. That is really fast for a WR, much less a RB.

For reference, the fastest speed hit by a ball carrier so far this season was the Texans WR Nico Collins, clocked at a max of 21.89 mph. The 2nd fastest recorded straight-line-speed so far this season was 21.21 mph, hit by Colts WR Alec Pierce. Pierce ran a 4.41 40 at the combine. He is plenty fast. But, 21.21 mph? We already know Deuce can clear that.

That's it. I just felt like dispelling a myth. I am once again hoping the Cowboys use more Deuce. He is likely the fastest RB on the team.

Not sure how much that benefits us in the 2024 Superbowl season, he needs carries, his time will come. Hasn't shown enough to really get more reps I believe

If a tree falls in a forest, does it make a sound? They have to actually use him some. 2 plays a game isn't going to tell us much.

I've never seen any comments about his speed. It's always about his size.

I dont really have a strong opinion on the subject either way, but top speed is only part of the puzzle. What I'd really be curious to see is how quick he accelerates compared to other NFL RBs.

I've known about Deuce's top speed and quickness. I still don't understand what this stubborn and clueless coaching staff is waiting on by refusing to play Deuce Vaughn???

This coaching staff is what is holding back this offense’s true potential.

 

[Mac_MaloneV1]

Daniel Jones hit 21.23 once.

Vaughn has a ton of short-area burst, but he's not NFL fast.

im am with you on this..why do we not have any packages with Turpin, Vaughn, Cooks and Lamb on the field..at the very least find out what the defense would put out there to defend it.

Oh ok

Let Deuce loose!!
Let him spin!

Because we're stuck on our basic offensive plays the 70% Moore/Garret offense

He sure made a good block on the Turpin td.

Let Deuce loose!!

His center of gravity is way too low. His advantage is man aged physical strength, quickness, and able to hide. That is hard to lead with in a limited ability to set up as a strength. Love it when he succeeds although.

he barely touched him lol

 

[rambo2]

he barely touched him lol

Watch again.

 

[Coogiguy03]

Watch again.

can you post a highlight of the return, it's not letting me do it, I've posted other videos from YouTube on here and it's not letting me

Vaughn is a weapon and needs touches. No one will convince me otherwise.

Last night I watched the Jets pound Breece Hall over and over for barely anything, yet they never tried Braelon Allen, the other stable of backs they have. It’s maddening what some of the coaches do!
