Deuce will be loose against the Lions

[Roland]

We need a pounder in there, not a quarter pounder

I dont care what you think, that is funny right there!

I’d like to see him get a few touches. His college tape is pretty amazing. He was a legitimate workhorse RB and could house it at any moment.

I know things are different in the NFL but I still like the guy and hope he succeeds.

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.

What's his skill set?

Being tiny?

 

[rambo2]

Deuce very well could provide a spark .

 

[atlantacowboy]

Yay?

Being tiny is an asset when the defense can't find you. Being the quickest and most explosive guy on the field is also a nice tool to have. He's got 4.4 jets and he also catches the ball well. These are all skills you can utilize as a play caller. However having used him as little as they have thus far means game speed is going to overwhelm him at first. It's going to take some time for him to find his bearings and if the game is tight he probably won't get a ton of opportunities. But I have a feeling they have a package for him and we will see it in the first half of this game if all goes to plan.

I fear for everyone else on the offense when Dak is on the field.

Surely you meant defense

 

[Cowboysheelsreds058]

So all along we needed Deuce to get us there? QB1 wasn't enough? Say it isn't so.........

Lol, love the Horsemen, know will get my laugh on.

Well his trait is he's small and is hard to find in the backfield. This unfortunately goes out the window when his entire OL will be found pancaked, and 3 guys 3x his size won't have this issue

Cowboys!!

First run -6 yards!!

 

[Coogiguy03]

You guys are awful. I bet you wouldn't get down on your knees and look deuce in the eyes and make fun of him.

Lol lol lol lol lol post of the day

 

[coult44]

I’m cool with everyone having an opinion on what you think about him. Although so much STUPIDITY is shown because we really have no idea based on the amount of time we’ve seen him play in anything other than garbage time. WTBS, the fact that many of you seem like you don’t want him to succeed shows how much of a
D-Bag you really are. It’s amazing that you call yourself a Cowboys fan but you hope your team plays bad, and players who play on that team don’t do well!

Oh trust me we've seen enough

Cowboys!!

Its been a while since he played, but wasn't too effective early in the year averaging under 2 yards a carry. However, he had a couple plays on receptions and think that's how you have to utilize him. Get him into space, get him outside runs, etc. Interior run blocking hasn't been strong this year for the Cowboys and running him up the gut probably isn't the best strategy to utilize him.

Amen, they absolutely have to get the kid the ball in space to take advantage of what he can do. Most of the runs he has had early in the season have been plunges up the middle late in games when the defense knows we're running it up the gut. I would never expect great results under those circumstances. Especially while the line is losing at 3/5 of its positions.

Elite side-to-side ability and shiftiness to make people missed

Good pass catcher

Hits his top speed instantly once he has an opening and can house it from anywhere on the field. He has the top end speed to outrun defenders in the open field.

That is of course in college, where he was one of the best RBs in college football. The NFL is a different animal.

 

[Runwildboys]

I fear for Dak when Deuce is on the field.

You should only fear for Dak when Dak and Deuce are both on the field!

J/K, though if I were to read between the lines, I don't think MM's "plan" is to have Deuce blocking.

 

[Kevinicus]

About time

You guys joke, but Deuce can play and just needs a chance to prove it

I think he can be an asset if used properly (i.e. not trying to run up the gut in garbage time to kill the clock).
