Deuce Vaughn & Mike McCarthy West Coast Bliss

Mike McCarthy might just have an interesting plan in mind for these rookie weapons. When he called plays he often used 20 personnel with 3 wr which gave defenses (including ours) fits. Because the run game and pass game were equally as strong. He highlighted this by having backs and receivers that were versatile. Backs splitting out wide and receivers at times in the backfield.

McCarthy mentioned using Deuce similar to how he used Randall Cobb and watching the tape it makes sense. Deuce is a HB that can play in the slot and Cobb was a WR that MM moved around including in the backfield. So when thinking about the HB room I wonder if Deuce's order on the depth chart isn't so much where he fits with TP, RoJo and Malik Davis but more where he gets in as more of a utility player.

Also seeing MM use WRs in the backfield makes me go back to those times Kellen lined CeeDee up in the backfield but then it disappeared from the gameplan. I wonder now if that was really Mike's influence and Kellen just moved away from it.

All just conjecture at this point, but sure is fun to wonder.

Did I miss a year or something? 2024? Was 2023 so bad for the Cowboys we just had a Marvel type Blip???? lol...all that aside, one can hope the offense will score points consistently and the defense will stop teams and get the ball back consistently.

We have 2 of the better slot WR’s in football on the roster, aside from a handful of gadget plays there isn’t a single logical reason to play Vaughn in the slot over Lamb and Cooks. Pollard is also a better/more dynamic receiver out of the backfield. People are getting way too carried away with the Duece Vaughn love. Nice underdog story and I hope the kid succeeds, but I also will be pretty shocked if he plays any kind of significant role in the Cowboys offense this year.

He's not really an underdog. Deuce was a devastating college weapon. He beat down defenses in every conference in the country, pretty much with ZERO help. His limitations lie with McCarthy's confidence. As the season goes on, I see Vaughn getting more and more opportunities.
