Video: Deuce Vaughn: Energy and Brotherhood

[blueblood70]

His cliche answers are annoying, mostly because he hasn't done anything.

I don't hate the player. I hate wasting roster spots on these kinds of players.

If they move him to PS, does another team pick him up?

On a side note, he looks like an Ewok in that hoodie.

"I feel like the game has evolved over the last 10-15 years."

You know, since Darren Sproles played, which has made it almost impossible for guys like me to break the roster.

If he was just a tad bigger, he'd probably be pretty good. Maybe HGH?

I get your response but I don't agree with it he may not be a full time running back or can offer full time services to a team but the game has not changed that much over 10 to 15 years he didn't play 10 to 15 years ago he put up 5000 scrimmage yards in college in the big twelve this isn't Somerville Prep

he literally did it and he's only 2 other eighteen months of no interest players at his college that did this in the college's history and that would be Darren Sproles and Lockett, that's good company...

I saw him play big games against Texas and Alabama are you trying to tell me they don't have good defensive players over there that's somehow what he did was gadget like in college cuz if you think that you didn't watch he was a regular running back he did all normal running back things in college...


Now back to the true issue not his size the man doesn't get hurt you realize he practices and the games he's been in have you ever seen him limp off they ever seen him look like he's been like knocked unconscious or dizzy no the answer to this the problem is he's on the wrong team he's been with the wrong offensive coaches the biggest problem is he does everything that Turpin does but Turpin has that job and he's going to keep it but they don't use him because they don't have a place for him yes on another team I believe on the right team he could do a lot of things like Turpin..

I'm betting if he had full time special teams return duties you change your mind because then they would use them more he'd be more in tune with the games you know locked in and focused and you'd see more out of him but the problem is they don't have room for him on the team not because he's a small running back that don't belong in the NFL we already have a guy that does the same exact things and by the way Turpin is pretty small by the way and I don't care that he's not a running back have you seen him running through traffic special teams also in motion behind a line of scrimmage he's been in running back type formations turpin is tiny and he also doesn't get hurt that's all the proof I need to see I don't care about his exact height he's built 30 minutes thicker than turbine turpin's a little taller but they're both small they both can perform in limited roles and you can find that on a team you just can't have two of them on your team...

Those are the real facts so the haters can step aside I get it you have a view but I saw him play in college because I'm a Longhorn fan I watched them he's a real running bet in the NFLI get it he couldn't do the same exact things but in this little things that he has done if he would have been in a better offense with a better offensive coordinator and on a team without Turpin you'd have changed your mind it'd be best thing for him to be on another team..

You put him on the practice squad and I guarantee he'll end up on an NFC East team and they'll make sure they expose the Cowboys with him on enough plays that will say oh you know what he is a pretty damn good player..


Sometimes reality is if they don't have a fit for you on the team you won't get your opportunities if you don't get your opportunities fans are going to talk about you like that..

He's never been injury prone all those yards in college he's not injury prone how is that are you trying to tell me the players are really tiny in college and that's how he got away with it is that what you're trying to sell me that it was different in college because things have changed over the last 10 or 15 years when did we go back in a time capsule he didn't play 10 or 15 years ago he played in college six years ago he can still do those things in the NFL if given the opportunity with the right offense and the right offensive play caller and designer we don't have that here what we do have his turf and who needs more touches so there's nothing here for him..

 

[blueblood70]

That is no where close to giving him a chance. It's actually the exact opposite. It's insulting.

I agree with you but the problem is if you're gonna draft a guy who's almost exactly like Turpin and you don't have room for both they do the same exact things and you have to move on from the guy I believe he can do those same things just from the running back position versus the wide receiver position but they're not different they're both small but they're both also tough and they're not injury prone somebody's gonna give this guy a chance on special teams and he's gonna get enough snaps on offense to show the Cowboys fans that he's better than they're giving him credit for he is not too small for the NFL the Cowboys just didn't have room for him and Mike mccarthy just didn't understand how to use turpin let alone this guy boat being on the same team I believe he has something to offer in a limited role but yeah you're right he never got a chance everybody thinks he failed in the NFL he ended up on the wrong team that's what happened...

He'll get to a team that knows how to use him and they will develop enough plays and let him play all special teams returns and he'll at least have some kind of role in the NFL.. That's how I've seen it the man was a real running back in college he was very successfully in college the game has not changed he just ended up on a team that couldn't utilize him because we already had that in Turpin that's it that's a real story anybody else who believes anything else they'll find out when he gets on the team that can actually use him..

 

[GINeric]

It's the roster spot he occupies that could be given to a more productive player that contributes.

How do you know how productive a player can be if you dont give him a chance? Can't consider playing in preseason games a fair shot because he's running behind 3rd and 4th stringers blocking for him by the time he gets in the game.

Why not give him chances during the season with a full cast of starters?

That's part of what I'm saying though. I like Deuce. I just don't like wasting roster spots on players that don't play.

 

[ColoradoCowboy]

Is this sarcasm?

Nope.

Wait... You DON'T hope that one of our backs; ANY ONE OF THEM, INCLUDING DUECE; gets 1800 yards?

 

[OmerV]

Let’s be honest, they burned a roster stop for his old man. That’s what this whole thing looks like and that cavalier attitude bothers me. It should bother anyone with any sense.

Funny you ignore that he averaged 110 yards rushing, 31 yards receiving and 1.3 TDs per game over his last 2 seasons of college while playing in a major conference. Also that he was projected as a 5th round draft pick and the Cowboys got him in the 6th. He didn't get his shot without merit.

Once in the door of the NFL your college numbers should be ignored. Just more proof that success isn't transferable. No shame in it, as it happens all the time to much more heralded players than Deuce.

BTW, I enjoy the “he didn’t have a chance” crying. Is it possible the coaches saw what they needed to see in practice hence the limited in-game opportunities? Nah…had to be coaches that didn’t know crap, didn’t know how to use him,…blah…blah…blah.

Agree that Deuce DID earn his opportunity but also believe his tenure will be aided by one of Jerry’s biggest faults - his loyalty to staff and players. To those that don’t like him, suck it up, you’re stuck with him.

Means absolutely nothing when talking about college while wondering why he can’t replicate it in the pros.

 

[NDGAEDE]

oh, there are quite a few who are counting down days for all these waste of roster spot fringe players. they are nothing but experiments and after one year, then just be done with it. players like him belong on PS. you can evaluate them there.

Where are all the Matt Waletzko threads and insults?

 

[OmerV]

It obviously doesn't mean a player will be successful in the pros, but it absolutely does mean something when looking at giving a player a shot to earn his way in the pros.

I didn't suggest otherwise. College performance helps get you the shot, which is all I said it does.

 

[Johannes44]

What exactly has Mr. Vaughn done to earn anything? I can’t even recall hearing his name anytime in pre-season or on special teams if he is even playing on said unit.

 

[ColoradoCowboy]

In the 37 college games in which he played, Deuce Vaughn had less than 8 carries exactly once.
In the 14 NFL games in which he played, Deuce Vaughn has NEVER had more than 8 carries. Not even in mop up at the end of a blowout.

So to say that he has had a chance to show what he can do is, at best, a half-truth.

 

[blueblood70]

Nope.

Wait... You DON'T hope that one of our backs; ANY ONE OF THEM, INCLUDING DUECE; gets 1800 yards?

And you'd be delusional expecting any skill player on any team to get 1800 yards given the fact that we're only two last year that did it in the whole entire league and they were running backs but not a single receiver did it so we're supposed to look at our team and go ok out of the other 300 skill players that didn't break 1800 yards were supposed to use that as the barometer that's the measuring stick now I don't think so you need to look at the team run game what are the expectations for the team as far as blocking yards per attempt and total yards running you want to be successful in a running game you don't need an 1800 yard back because if that's your expectations it almost never happens it's very rare..

That's what we should do go into the season and put that pressure on the guys and say Jerry you're wrong because you didn't bring in the guy that can get us 1800 yards that's insane this is why the fan base most people around here I just ignored I just had to let you know before I ignored you that's insane that is not the measuring stick there used to be 1000 yards but you do realize 1000 and 79 yards was 12 that would be Rico Dowdle who expected him to break 1000 yards but it still was 12 in the league last year there were only 16 players 16 running backs that broke 1000 yards that's it and we have number 12 in Rico and he wasn't even that good he only had two touchdowns so you act like somehow 1800 yards and 15 touchdowns yeah that's what we should do we should put our players against something that's almost impossible..

You do realize that I went back and verified there are several teams that didn't even break 1800 total Rush yards as a team last year so yeah that's what we should do that's our expectation something you think happens in the NFL and that that should be the goal right smh Take a look you'd be shocked several teams barely broke 1800 some didn't I said team some of y'all are delusional to a point where your expectations are just unmanageable...

BTW The Kansas City Chiefs were the runner up team the loser of the Super Bowl they only had 17190 total rushing yards last year as a team and they made it to the Super Bowl..yup

drivel...

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

Where are all the Matt Waletzko threads and insults?

He gets as much as he deserves. There has been just a few. He is a nobody.

Folks around here pump.up Deuce a lot. Fan favorite perhaps so you see a lot more Deuce threads

Um.... I never said ANY of that.

What I said that I hope that he gets 1800. Heck, I hope that he gets 2200 and breaks every rushing record. I hope that all 5 of our RBs get 1000.... But I NEVER said that I expect this. Nice imagination that you have there.

So if KC can rack up 17190 rushing yards, how many did their leading rusher have? LOL

The coaches that took half the year to figure out Dowdle was rb1?

 

[DandyDon52]

Chase Brown was drafted before the Cowboys picked Asim Richards in the 5th round. Eric Scott was taken with the first pick in the 6th round right after Puka Nacua. Cowboys gave a 2024 5th for that pick to Chiefs. Chiefs took C Hunter Nourzad.

So they could have had puka nakua ?? lol
Some good scouting there lol.

Duece hasnt really had a good chance, hopefully shotty gets him a whole qrt or half in PS to Truly
see if he can do it or not.

 

[TwistedL0g1k]

If Micah tossed Deuce into the kettle, could he even get out?
