Revisionist history at it's finest. So there were a bunch of 6-7 round backs coming out of that draft that had a better college career than Deuce??? Really, complaining about a 6 round pick like he was a first round one. SMH, about the silliest things to complain about.
I like Duece ALOT, watched him tear up my Frogs more than once, the fact is he is not a player that has a garunteed roster spot and injuries could for sure cost him one..here is to hoping he can get healthy because he needs PS games to show what he can do.
I can agree with that much. But I'd say that for pretty much anyone who isn't starting, period, with maybe the exception of Cooper Rush.
I agree with that, as well.
He showed what he can do last preseason. And it was compelling.
I think more of it for me is if he isnt out there then someone else will be getting a shot to show what he can do....I'm rooting for Duece for sure.
Finish the thought? Didn’t you watch him play last season and the weren’t in mop up duty. He averaged 2 yards per carry. 2!
I dont know Rock i think alot of it was mop up, but i will say this with the RB room we have this year Duece has a more defined spot in it than he had with Pollard in the room...hope he can get on the field for some PS games
You are crazy if you think Zeke is a stud RB still that is going to take us to the promise land .... I am a Zeke Sympathizer for years too, but TP last year had over 1k yards on the ground. If you think our RB room is strong than last year I don't now what to tell you... you don't need to spend 8-12 million a year on a RB but there were other options and still are to better the position!
Honestly don’t remember although I recall him getting touches early in the season and early in games. Regardless, if it was mop up duty, then it’s even worse because teams aren’t giving 100% at that point in the game and some of the starters are even not playing at that point.
loaded boxes but again, using Duece with Zeke has a real role to me, Duece taking touches from Pollard that makes less since to me (obviously Pollard wasn't great last year either)
Lance is better than Rush.
Good points.
I'm leaning toward that because we could likely get him there. He wasn't highly chased as a free agent, so unless he shows out or someone needs an injury fill-in in their No. 2 spot, I think he'll coast through waivers. Vaughn might, too, but since he's just in his second year, some team that wanted to take a look at him could grab him for a backup role.
Our plan may be to pound it between the tackles, though. So having three pounders might be desired. I do think McCarthy may want a change-up back, though, and we did just draft him last year in a feel-good move. Would we crush him and his dad that quickly?
Do you not see how bad the run stats are?
Going to the PS is not crushing Vaughn. I think they've finally figured out that he needs to add route running to his skill package for him to be a viable NFL player. Let him keep working the dream on the PS. See if he looks viable for the roster next year.
it's the off season, gotta keep things moving....
Yeah, so successful he didn't get drafted, and that by his daddy's team, until the 6th round. There were only 47 remaining draft picks after he was selected.
So is Deuce, both have hamstring issues. And we thought we were through with hamstring injuries of a few years ago.
