Undersized LBs can flourish in the NFL as pass rushers. However, you don’t see that many under sized RBs, especially the size of Vaughn flourishing in the NFL.
And I am pretty sure that running back is the shortest average position in the NFL. The important thing is mentioned above in Ronnie’s post - Big legs, low center of gravity, and can miss the tackles. I think we need to switch the topic on Deuce now to how much time he should get and can he handle NFL pass blocking. Barring injury or some preseason collapse, I think he’s made the cut.

You mean the same way Deuce was prejudged before the draft?
You’re comparing different positions. Lol QBs are very difficult to evaluate. It’s a lot easier to evaluate an RB. Lack of size can be a big problem for an RB. It can hamper a lot of things, including their ability to block.

Of course hes made the team lol. Thats a silly question.\\

The NFL messed up bigtime letting him fall to round 6.

You might want to look at the 1st team reps in practice and they clearly don't have the ability that he has.
I agree they don’t have the ability he has, but they have a lot more size and some NFL experience, which is why they’re playing ahead of him. The only real way he’s going to move past both of them is by making plays during the regular season.

I’ve been saying all along that he won’t be one of our top two backs entering the regular season. If this board would allow us to go further back than a week I would prove it. All my comments about Vaughn have been consistent since the very day we drafted him. I’ve been saying from day one he’ll make the team, but that he won’t be one of our top two backs entering the regular season. I wouldn’t be talking about lameness with some of the lunacy you post. Lol We’ll find out who knows what they’re talking about come opening day. :thumbup:
You can find every post that’s been made in the board since the beginning of time. I always look up my posts going back to 2007

You can, but it’s going to take an incredible amount of time with the new format they added a few months ago. Click on your profile and go check to see how far you can go back on your posting history. You can only go back 15 posts. With the old format, you could search all your posts and threads from the beginning of time. Not now.

Again his size is his strength. Go and try to catch a mouse with your bare hands. He has made plays his entire life. He isn't going to stop. They already are planning on using him in the regular season. He fits.

You’re right, it is now a pain in the ***. You have to use google to search it and it takes too long.

No wasting my time with this any further, we’ll find out how it goes for him this season.

That’s what I’ve been trying to tell people, but they won’t listen. They obviously haven’t tried searching their own posts since the new format was installed. I found a few threads using Google, but it’s tough unless you know the exact title of the thread. Not being able to look up my posts or other peoples posts from a few weeks ago has created a problem.
