Most of those carries have come, though, with us holding a big lead and the defense geared up to stop the run to try to get the ball back. When he got some meaningful snaps against the Jets, with the first-team line still in there, he had a 13-yard run and an 11-yard catch.

I don't think we've seen enough to establish what he can or can't do. Obviously, there are some physical limitations he has to overcome, but making a couple of plays against the Jets defense when the game was still on the line isn't a a bad thing.

The games were essentially over when he got his opportunities. He had a number of negative carries which kept his YPC under 2.0 despite a 13 yard run. His limitations due to his size are keeping him off the field.

Cut the Deuce lose is all I say, don't really care at this point about this last game anyway win or lose its not going to be on Deuce.
Lets kick back and see what weeman can do, If ESPN is laughing about it than I'm sure Jerry will find a way to cut him.
I have always believed that if Deuce was ever introduced this offense appropriately that he would find a role, but now its week 17, and
just getting his intro due to call up.
Go chop em down Deuce, show them what is up.

What’s keeping him off the field is Dallas has a fullback that can play RB in a pinch and special teams.

They like having a fullback.

Turpin is far superior in the return game so can’t use him there.

Need to give Hunter a chance. I know he and dak fumbled the exchange but give him more snaps. He is a big back that we really need to start using more in 3rd/4th and 1 situations.

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.

..thats just it. Gotta play him to his strengths.

Running up the gut for hopefully a gain of 4-5, is not the way.
