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
We run him like Zeke when we are trying to run out the clock. We're not looking to get outside on those runs, just hold on to the ball, get as far as you can through the middle and keep the clock running.

I think we showed more of what we think he can be on a couple of plays against the Jets when we were still trying to put up points. He raced around the outside for a 13-yard run and caught an 11-yard screen pass in that one.

Deuce was tearing up the preseason.

Against players that aren't playing (or at least starting) in the NFL regular season.

Funny, when Zeke got hit in the backfield over and over again between the tackles that was (according to you) all on Zeke. Now we see the same thing with Duece and its all on the Oline.

Not compairing players, contract situations, or even saying your are wrong on Duece. Not saying Zeke wasn't done as a back. Just pointing out the double standard and blind Zeke hate like he stole something from you (we heard over and over and over again). Wonder who had more yards on less carries (against a better defense) yesterday.

You Zeke apologists seem to like to make things up. The Oline affects all RB's. But when you have Pollard averaging 6 ypc behind the same line that Zeke is averaging 4, then there is nothing you Zeke apologists can say.

I studied Deuce before the draft and after. He played well in preseason. Now he was running against backups and with backups blocking for him.

I think the kid can play.

There was never a double standard. You Zeke apologists just cant handle the truth.

And look at you now. Reduced to comparing Zeke to a 5.5 6th round, 3rd string rookie backup in order to try and prop him up. LOL

Oh how the mighty have fallen. Just as I predicted.

I’d say 2-4 weeks.

Might have to bring up Malik Davis

Unless they’re good going with Pollard-Vaughn-Luepke
