I would just hate to see Deuce dragged and bounced across the turf hanging on to some defender's shoelaces.How so? Was it him or was it our blocking?

This is why he was inactive for most games last season and probably a toss-up whether or not he makes 53.RB1? No. As a special situation 5-7 touches a game- yes.
He is small, by actual definition and you know this. And you make it sound like Emmitt was average sized. He wasnt either. He was on the smaller size.He isn't small he's short. He's only 4" shorter than Emmitt. He blocked for 3 years at K-St just fine.
Our best running back is Trey Lance and it’s not close.It’s incredibly obvious.
Anyone else on this roster should just be a player who spells him or brings a little more power during certain situations but he’s far and away our most talented runner and it’s not even close.
They can play all these stupid games with old Zeke and Dowdle but Vaughn is better than all of them and it’s obvious.
Drop the country club BS and play Vaughn.
I don't see it, but maybe I need to start drinking the Kool-aid. Or maybe it was very strong alcohol. Whatever it is, I want some.It’s incredibly obvious.

A light breeze can tackle him. He won't be effective at all against starting level NFL defenses except on broken plays.He can't block.
So you are saying we need to elevate our RB position? That sounds like a tall task to do in short order. Too bad duece isn’t a vertical threat or his career might reach great heights!LOL
Not surprised at this thread from a guy who has no idea of the importance of a real rin game
If Deuce is RB1, you better start over at RB
That’s my hope. Trade or someone. Dolphins have a plethora.Cowboys don’t really have an RB1. It’s not DV…They will grab a cut player from another team and improve their current RB room
he had a couple plays a game at the start of last yearWhen did Deuce ever play with 1st teamers?
You think so?Blocking at K State is a lot different than blocking in the NFL.
Not sure that has anything to do with what I posted.Look at the emphasis Detroit, San Francisco, and Green Bay, even Atlanta, put on the running back position. And then there’s the Cowboys where fans are talking about Deuce Vaughn as the primary running back. Do you see a difference?
He isn't small he's short. He's only 4" shorter than Emmitt. He blocked for 3 years at K-St just fine.
Only 1.6% of college players make it to the NFL, so that is your estimated difference in difficulty level between the two.You think so?
Good grief. Those Big 12 guys are big also.
14 to 16 touches??? I'd say if he makes the roster and makes the game day roster (doesn't run down on KO and punt coverage teams) he is looking at about 4 to 5 touches per game max. I don't think any of our RBs is going to average 14 to 16 touches per game so I agree with you it won't happen. But, 16 touches per game isn't a package, it's your #1 back on this team. He would need to be able to pass protect and run into a wall multiple times per game. I don't think that's his skillset. I like him in a spread out 4 WR set and let him use his quickness.It won't happen, but if the Cowboys put a package together for him where he would get 14-16 touches a game people would be shocked how he could produce.
Vaughn looked slow last year against starters.It’s incredibly obvious.

It was him. He was stopped dead in his tracks and thrown backwards way too easily. He looks stronger and tougher and like he is running harder and more aggressively this preseason though. In the past month, he was moving forward after contact on like half his carries. That was the most important change to me because we knew he was elusive. I went from thinking he has no future in this league to wanting to see him on the 53 and wanting to see him get a few carries per game to see what he can do.How so? Was it him or was it our blocking?
It's been poor blocking for years now, since Frederick left.How so? Was it him or was it our blocking?
We have absolutely nothing to lose by trying this.It won't happen, but if the Cowboys put a package together for him where he would get 14-16 touches a game people would be shocked how he could produce.
Come on, you can't use a scouting report. This guy doesn't look like he'd be the NFL all-time rushing leader from his scouting report:https://www.nfl.com/prospects/deuce-vaughn/32005641-5542-4979-415d-9403ea793f9b
Weaknesses
- Measurables fall well below NFL norm at the position.
- Takes runs off track unnecessarily at times.
- Needs to be quicker through the line in the pros.
- Runs with unusually long strides for a short back.
- Struggles to find instant acceleration after tapping brakes.
- Not built for blitz pickups.
