I'm interested in seeing it. Some have made up their mind about a rookie player. I just want to see what he can do. It could be bad, but he also could surprise us all. If we're just going to pound him up the middle, though, he likely won't fare any better than Pollard has.
Why does it bother you that people are happy to see the kid get an opportunity? This kid was a top 10 rusher in the country playing in a power five conference. It's not like he was some JuCo standout. There is a role for him in the NFL just like there was Maurice Jones-Drew, Dave Meggett, Jamie Morris, Darren Sproles, Lionel James and other smaller backs. It's up to the coaches to figure out how to get production from him.
They've had him all season and done everything they can to keep him inactive each week. They aren't excited to be forced to make him dress for a game finally.
Fake screen to Deuce and throwback to CD on the other side.
So does Lance
The Cowboys kept Miles Austin as just a kick returner and #3 receiver for the first 5 games of the 2009 season. When he got a chance to start he blossomed into one of the top 2 or 3 receivers in the league. The assumption that these coaches always know what they're doing has been proven false more times than I can count.
They will use all 3 backs.
Our depth is amazing.
Are you calling it right now that Deuce is going to be a star?
He hasn't played because Rico won the 2 job and they wanted to keep all of their backs and used the elevations on Davis to keep all of the backs for depth. Now that the elevations are used up they can activate Deuce and use him with the injury to Rico.
It's not bad. It could actually work.
It's good to give the young guys some work and experience.
They are looking to give Deuce a few carries when Pollard needs a rest.
Totally. We always draft well.
Nope... never said any such thing. All I have said is that just because they have not used him doesn't automatically mean he can't play. Coaches sometimes have a hard time seeing what a guy can do in practice. That is especially true for running backs and linebackers with the way they practice these days where they are mostly doing walk-throughs in sweats and never tackling. You gotta put the guy in game situations to know for sure what he's got. I repeat.. there is a role for a guy with his skillset. It's up to the coaches to find that role and maximize it.
I wouldn’t have to get down on my knees.
