So how come he hasn't played yet? You know something the coaches don;t?

Playing because of injury....isn't very encouraging.

But hey...sometimes it works out. Hoping for the best!
Yet that's exactly how Dak ended up with the job

Perhaps we will see the same Deuce we all were excited about in the preseason games.....this is his chance to change his situation
Respectfully, you may want to ease up on the, “all were excited” in reference to Deuce.

If he succeeds within the flow of our typical play-calling, great. Not a Deuce fan but I’m a Cowboys fan, so it’s a win.

What will piss me off is if the brain trust adds a wrinkle we haven’t seen to get Deuce in space (what most of you are clamoring for). I would have to immediately ask the question, “Knowing you have a non-power, talented, speedy back in TP (similar skills to Deuce) why haven’t we seen these wrinkles previously?”

If this happens, MM will have basically pulled his pants down and have shown everyone that he was content hurling TP into a brick wall for 15 weeks but NOW he makes a change?

Ehh…In retrospect, I’m giving MM too much credit to change as he lacks imagination and had limited time to implement something new.

I think he just needs to be ran like he was in college.

He’s a between the tackles guy.
i love Deuce too but i dont believe Deuce carries the weight Sproles did or as fast....but he is not afraid to run between tackles....Deuce Deuce Deuce

I'm pretty sure Deuce is faster than Sproles was. He's just not quite as big..

Ronnie i will check---you may be correct
I checked as well.. I was wrong... Sproles was 4.49 and Deuce was 4.56. Even though I could have sworn I had seen Deuce had run 4.4 somewhere. What I had forgotten was that Sproles was a track guy who ran 10.6 in the 100m and 21.5 in the 200. So I would surmise that his top end speed was indeed superior. Vaughan however did post much better broad jump and vertical which would usually indicate him being quicker and more explosive. But Sproles put up 6 more reps on the bench which means he was a stronger dude. Sproles was a baaaad little man.. I don't know if Deuce can get to that level... but I think he can get close.

Here is the story that reports that he ran 4.46 at his pro day. I knew I had seen it somewhere.

yeah i read that one too...i was going to say they were comparable in speed but Sproles came in NFL 187 to Deuce's 176 and Sproles got to 2oo in NFL ....i wish

we would just use Deuce more...he is fearless....he does not fumble either

Phil--- when we were winning 5 straight we seemed to all love MM....but we forget to bring offense schematic packet on away games....and i am assuming when you called TP non-power you are referring to last game he did not punch it through the goal line?...but TP has very strong legs and picks x-tra yards routinely though the tackles game after game....we all watch it with our own eyes.....but i dont know what happens to us....its like we have a ton of confidence ready to try
new stuff or "go for it" attitude then games like everyone seems fearful....i dont know???....like where TP averaging 5 yds a carry but we only give him 10 tokes?
there is a communication breakdown and i have to put it on MM....and i dont like how we use safeties as linebackers when it is obvious the team intends to run ball down our throats....its ok if a team is passing a lot more...but that will only be the case if we jump out to a good lead?....but...since i am a HOMER....Go-Cowboys
and "How Bout Dem Cowboys"....lets take these Lions and may them kitty cats

Havic---no i did not put one in on Miami...Jake asked maybe we could take a break cause i lost 1 lately?...so i said OK....but why my last one got taken down

you know the word for Kitty-cat...take out the Kitty and put in another word that if you isolate it....its profanity....the computer app saw that and said profane

i sent convo to Reality it was only misunderstanding....when those two words together it is not profane

I agree with you in that TP does have a deceptive strength to his game and can shed tacklers. However, he is not called upon to demonstrate it that often and could he if the workload was increased? Also, if we had a true power threat would 3rd/4th and 1-2 be a passing down for us and would life inside the 5 be easier with a hammer in the backfield? We haven’t got the *** when others know we need it.

I will join you in a, “How Bout Dem Cowboys” as I’d love to see them complete an undefeated season at home.

I see a run heavy attack by both teams. Both teams have a great tightend as well. I think Ferguson has a big day.
