Dowdle Update - Bruised Hip

DEUCE TIME!!!!!!

 

[Jarntt]

Deuce seems to go down too easily to have anything but a specialty role IMO and be used more out in space. Love the kid but they seem to just toss him around. I suspect Davis will be called up for the week if Dowdle can't go

...yep, Deuce is no big back for Dallas. His best use is in open field.

DEUCE TIME!!!!!!

One of those injuries that varies widely in healing - depending on the severity.

 

[Tabascocat]

Ouch, that is a 2-4 week recovery time. The good news is he can play whenever he feels ready, no risk of further injury.

Godspeed Zack & Rico. The O-line and the ground game will be critical to our success Sunday.

Let's Go Cowboys!

I have not seen anything that warrants Duece will be special in space. I am not referring to his stats, rather his lack of burst and vision. Waiting to see him cut loose.

Im not seeing that. He is actually a good between the tackles runner. With more carries that will become evident.

Deuce has great burst and great vision.

Is this a circumstance where the Cowboys can place Dowdle on IR?
(Hard to keep up with rules with the recent changes.)

It seems like he’s going up against more speed at the 53-man NFL roster level. I’m not seeing him running away from tacklers like he was in the preseason.

I wouldn’t think so unless they want to bring in another RB. The 4-week IR could be an option if so.

Yes but he would be out a minimum of 4 weeks.

I am rooting for mighty mouse. It is time to show something and this week would be perfect.

 

[Teague31]

I hope this isn’t the start of the slide for Zack. He’s getting banged up more and more

This is where missing TC probably didn't help.

I know Tyron got knicked up, but he looked a lot better in how he was moving week 1 this year than the last few when he's had a lot fewer reps in TC.

 

[McMicah]

Great news on Dowdle. I want to see Deuce get plays that get him in space for crying out loud. We run him like he’s Zeke and are wasting his best skillset working in soace

To be honest he has only been used properly about two times. Those garbage time runs are meaningless.

Pollard and Deuce against the niners

Dak and Pollard better put on those big boy pants next week because those niners will be licking their chops
