Deuce will be loose against the Lions

[Captain43Crash]

Deuce had almost no blocking when he played earlier in the year. Give him a little blocking and he will play well.

December 30th, with 7 minutes and 27 seconds remaining in the first quarter, Deuce Vaughn rips off a 47-yard touchdown run, giving birth to the Deuce and Boost!

Hoping for Scenario A

But realistically expecting Scenario B

I LOL'd.

Bravo.

 

[Cowboysheelsreds058]

Lol, did I just read something from Captain Crash about Deuce. You are stone cold and not right. LOL!

You guys talk about getting him the ball in space. Why? We don’t get our real running backs the ball in space. Why change now?

Also, what’s with the references to his top end speed. His 4.4 is self-reported. It was also reported his best pro day run was 4.6 and I’ve seen 4.56 as as estimated speed in google. Quick - yes, fast - no.

Face it, our Deuce is as disposable as Summer’s Eve.

I suggested that this week..


This is the guy we need in the roads.

I'm intrigued to see him play. We need to use him in a Sproles style.

To be fair these coaches have started Dennis Houston at wide receiver and refused to deploy their biggest back in most short yardage and goal line situations. They also insist that Chuma Edoga is the best we can do at LT when Tyron is out. The same coaching staff continues to play Donovan Wilson at deep safety and uses a 6 DB alignment in running situations on defense. In short, their track record is littered with head scratching personnel decisions. I am going to stop well short of assuming they're always right.

Agreed.

However, Duece's success does remain to be seen.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

What's his skill set?

Being tiny?

I see him in a similar way to Sproles. He's not a run up the middle back. But you can use him for things like extended handoffs through screen passes. Get him the ball away from the DEs, and he can get a lot of yards.

Oh trust me we've seen enough

You better hope that he does well. This is a big opportunity for him.

You are correct to a point. However if the defense knows you are never going to run a guy up the middle they will overplay the outer edges and minimize his effectiveness. So you have to sacrifice one of two plays into the teeth of the defense in order to create those outside opportunities.

Sure, but there are creative ways to do it like a short screen up the middle.

Books have Luepke +1400 to get a rushing TD this week
Spend 10.00.....gets 140.00

 

[deerhunter11]

IF Dallas would use him in the passing game he would help this team.

Watch him get a receiving td. Lol

 

[KJJ]

Whatever plan they had for Deuce entering the season went out the window when the offense got off to a slow start. Once we became a passing team that eliminated him from the equation. One of the last times I remember him getting some snaps at RB he missed a block that almost got our QB killed. He can’t block which is one reason he’s not seeing the field. When he’s had opportunities to run the ball he’s averaging under 2.0 a carry.

 

[32BellyOption]

Better option than Huepke. But yea, glad we didn’t add a vet back at the deadline. Lol!

The tweet news is outstanding.

He missed a block that almost led to big trouble. One reason and possibly the main reason he’s not getting opportunities is he can’t block. He’s too small.
