I do think playing Deuce at Slot WR, RB, and PR man is the best way to use his skills. Problem is, Turpin does all those things for the team while running a 4.3.
I agree except for one thing,

you don't need to use deuce from the slot, you need to give most of the special teams plays to deuce Vaughn ,and allow deuce to be that scat back and you can use them on stretch plays from the running back position not from the slot he can play running back he just can't be moved at the middle you can use deuce Vaughn like Tony Pollard was his first couple years here I know people think he's too small they're going to argue with me I watched the guy can't do what he did in college and not be able to play running back.. he may be too small to go through the tackles or to take a beating or to be a starter with too many snaps but if you use them like we use jet or whitehead and some of the other 3rd down backs, we've used in the past just get him four or five snaps from the running back position,

now you take some of the pressure off Turpin, I mean you can use Turpin on special teams in a big situation, I think you need to put Turpin in the slot more and give him about 10 more plays on offense at wide receiver , it's a win win the guys are already on the team you just got to utilize and rotate them better and I don't believe our coaches did that last year not with the running backs and not with these two guys I think we can have a more potent offense utilizing these two more often... But you can get deuce far more into the games by letting him start out on special teams and work his way in at running back so he gets his mind and body In Sync with the game not just throwing him into dumb situations at the end of the game that's already lost or won and making him run up the middle. i mean playing wash up is not what he was meant for...

This isn't as simple as seeing what Beasley did on tape and duplicating it. Beasley actually had the hot sauce. Deuce is a dud.
That's because you guys are looking at it wrong first of all Turpin is like tavon Austin and Cole Beasley you need to be using deuce and no he's not a dud he's being misused utilized he should be playing like an alternate back third downs like we use jet and Whitehead and Darren Sproles type you give him more special teams so he can get in tune with the game mentally and physically and then you bring him in for four or five play specially designed from him from the running back position he is a running back the band was not just an average back in college he was in the Big 12 and he put up 5000 scrimmage yards the only other two players that did that and his school was froze and lock it literally the man has something to offer this team he is not a dud he just needs a smart coach to use him right...

You can choose not to see it but my opinion we should not be using using him like Kobe easily that would be Turpin Turpin needs a bigger workload this year he needs to be our #3 wide receiver in more games IMHO I'd like to see some of the special teams duties go to deuce Vaughn and start using Turpin like a real #3 wide receiver there'll be some plays and parts of the game where you're gonna need a bigger guy that's your #3 and you can bring him in but if they do this correctly both these guys can have bigger roles this year and our offense could be more potent... But hey that's just my vision...

But people like you calling this guy a boss or a dud like he can't play you need to go back and watch him he was not a gadget player in college he was a full time running back at Kansas State put up 5000 yards I watched the man play because I'm a Longhorn he destroyed some big time defenses he's not a regular down back in the NFL by any means he's not gonna be able to be utilized with too many snaps are running traditional plays up the middle but neither was Tony Pollard I think if you use deuce Vaughn more like Tony Pollard was his first season that's what we need from deuce Vaughn..

From what’s been going on in OTA’s they’re going to be using him in the passing game. He needs space. We’ll see if that creates a niche for him.
That is exactly DVs niche in the offense.
Build a power running game behind a power OL and let DV drift in the flats and catch the ball in the flats in space.
IF we are smart enough to accomplish that then DV laughs at all the doubters thinking he has no up-field speed.

This has never been a great screen running team but he doesn't need to play the slot play him at running back but draw up the place to where they motion and they find ways to get him outside but why this dude is not being used in more screens as well as kevonte Turpin Turpin needs to be our slot receiver more often than not he needs to be the true #3 simply enough give Vaughn more special teams plays and then four or five plays on offense from the running back position but with the proper called play for him the man can play running back he's not a wide receiver but he's not a starting between the tackle running back and neither was Tony Pollard and I know Tony was bigger and could play the position better but we need to use our players better and they can be better weapons like you said we gotta figure out is the coaching staff willing or have the ability to draw a place and know what part of the games to utilize them in it didn't look like it last year they didn't use our running backs correctly last year that's for damn sure..

If the QB can hit him in stride even short dump passes then he has a chance to make an impact. If he is having to stop and wait for the ball things won't go well.
If he has to stop and wait... he better have life insurance.

Sideline observations are the best.

Said this earlier in off-season... a good offensive coach can use Deuce and his skillset by creating mismatches.
They are doing exactly what they should with a productive but unique college player.
With Turpin moving more to a true WR role this allows Vaughn to become the gadget guy.
A player who can line up in the backfield, in the slot or out wide.
He can rush the ball, catch the ball and will be good on any type of screen.
He just can't block.
