Deuce is a "legacy." If it was 50/50 between him and Malik Davis, Deuce is going to get that call every time. Am really glad he made the team...and suspect Davis will land on a roster somewhere before opening day.
Deuce is a special player.

Davis is a jag.

So honestly... how did you feel about Sproles? Because Deuce is exactly like that!
I don’t see Sproles.

They have similar size but Deuce plays RB like a traditional RB.

Sproles was more of a WR out of the backfield.

Deuce can do that but his best attribute is running between the tackles.

Davis had every opportunity and failed. No way it was a 50/50 battle imo

So I was wrong. He made the 53. Not the direction I would have went, but it doesnt matter now.

I hope he plays even half as well as some of you have promoted. Would have been nice to see more in PS, but it is what it is.

Not sure what the plan is with RoJo. I know hes out the first two. Thought if they were going to cut him that theyd do it now. They could cut him after game two. They could still bring him on. That'll force someone off.

For now, I just want Duece to contribute. Every spot is valuable. But he is officially a Dallas Cowboy and I wish him well.
Classy move here BlindFaith, hope others are inspired by it.

I'm excited to see what he does. This should be a fun team to watch.

He fills the roll of home run hitter. His carries are going to be along the lines of:

stuffed
stuffed
+3
stuffed
-2
stuffed
60 yard TD run

Luepke and Dowdle will get the short to mid range yardage. Pollard, of course, the feature back.
I can't help but feel you are allowing a small-bias to do the heavy lifting for your prediction here.

Sometimes you just have to have blind faith that size does't matter.

I said the day we drafted him he would make the 53, even if it came down to Jerry making sure of it. They made far too big a deal drafting him for him not to make the team.

See now you're a true-blue Dallas Cowboys fan. There's about 20 (I'm being kind today) people here that could learn from you. They root against our team because they hate a certain player and want him to fail so they can say "I told you so!"

Classy post, brother. :clap:

There was no doubt Deuce was going to be an NFL player ever since he tore apart an Alabama defense full of pro prospects in his last bowl game.

Of course his height dropped him to the 6th round. But remember that all draft grades scouts give players taken from the 3rd-7th round are extremely close. Deuce being picked 212th is not a big a slight as some think.

Wow. Ridiculous.

There's not a team in the league that would have cut Deuce.
THIS^ TRUTH. For anyone to state he somehow got lucky,is ridiculous. All this kid has ever done is be durable and productive. I can't believe the spite many have for him. Its really strange.
