Do we have an issue with RB2?

Do we have an issue with RB2?

-Ronald Jones is hurt, has a heart condition, and is suspended for the first two games of the season.
-Rico seems to always be hurt every year (Just a matter of time), and fumbled in his first preseason game this year.
-Davis, who many thought could take the lead 2 role was underwhelming and played poorly.
-Deuce has been exciting to watch but I'm not sure he is ready for the 2 spot quite yet.

Does Dallas go grab a free agent RB, say Hunt? or do we roll with who we got?

 

[Corso]

We do, but there's time.
If they stay with the status quo then you know they are more fully going into the WCO.

Deuce is ready for the #2 spot if not the 1 if TP needs more time. The dude is legit. He has all the tape in the world to prove it

Not at the moment. Get back to me in about two weeks.

I look at it like this Leupke needs to play alot more. Vaughn showed enough.
Davis and Dowdle need to play more aswell. Ronald Jones if he can play play but he gone.

I'd look for a trade or a release for a RB replacement.
I dont think Rico or Malik should be on this roster.
I need to see Leupke asap.

 

[TequilaCowboy]

NO.....appears that Deuce is capable; and Malik is better than what he showed in that game. The OL was poor at the start. You can't make a gourmet meal with bologna.. Would i like to have a vet RB who is more than just a roster spot holder? Sure, but at this point, i doubt they are in the market for one.

Vaughn as the number 2 back is a stretch, but no possible way is he ready to take over the number one spot. Some of you really need to tap the brakes. Lol

 

[DoctorChicken]

RBs are one of the easiest positions in the league to fill. We’ll be fine.

If Vaughn and one of the other guys pan out then we’re better than fine.

Beat me too it, make Deuce the number 2 and let’s roll.

That's right and Rico is a solid 3.

Go get Leonard Fournette. Will run through trash hard. Can catch (not great) but he can catch. Will get his nose dirty doing things. Best option out there imo

Even w/o Jones hurt, they should have brought in someone to compete and insure against his failure or injury all along.

There's neither pedigree nor proven production behind Jones. Rico and Davis should have been guys competing for a roster spot, or perhaps *both* betting axed if Jones and Other RB are just better.

Malik as Special Teams + Emergency Active RB is at least a viable gameday active role. And we do have his rights for another year. Rico as an emergency guy we bring off the PS in case a RB is out a full game is another viable role.

But a suspended, hurt, and unimpressive Jones is just not a viable #2. We should have brought in another RB in hopes he can be replaced.

The trouble with Deuce is he's an *extra*. He doesn't fulfill that #2. All sorts of wonders about him, but really, is he supposed to be running the short yardage plays? I don't think that's Pollard.

Malik? I guess but he's just a warm disposable body at short yardage. Are we willing to write off that role in the game, or use a roster spot in Rico to fill it? I hope not. Pretty big and important role. Short yardage runs are big plays.

Nope, he is done. They are in good shape at running back now. As long as they stay healthy. They will have the 6 on the roster until the 29th.

Does Dowdle have a fumble problem or was that a one-off? If Dowdle has no history of fumbling, I'd be quite encouraged with the trio of Pollard, Duece, and Dowdle.

Ditto.

Davis, who many thought could take the lead 2 role was underwhelming and played poorly.

Davis had absolutely no shot on Saturday. No holes, no daylight. No chance. No back does anything in that situation. Score it incomplete.

We were playing mediocre o-line backups against good first stringers. (And Jags have good front 7)
