Vaughn damn near killed Dak and only averaged two yards a carry.

Luepke is a beast and can give opposing defenses pause on the goaline. He mans up and can keep Dak clean..

I never liked the Vaughn selection and it looks like a failure. Practice squad at best.

I agree. He was only selected because he has family on the staff. It was a Jerry move.

It’s not looking good for Vaughn, he’s very limited as to what he can do. He can’t block and isn’t very effective running between the tackles. Dowdle could be out for a while, and Vaughn isn’t even being mentioned to replace him. We’re hearing Luepke and Malik Davis. So far Vaughn has been a wasted roster spot. He’s had 17 carries for only 33 yards, averaging 1.1.

I wouldn't draw any conclusions based on what we've seen so far. Vaughn has mostly been in the game when we've had a big lead and the defense expects us to try to run the ball. He's also been in when some of our best linemen have been on the sidelines because it's a blowout. Circumstances always play a role.

I believe one of the few times he's gotten the ball in a competitive game (before the late third of fourth quarter with the team having an insurmountable lead), he had a 13-yard run followed by a 11-yard screen pass. That was against the Jets, so I could be wrong about it being competitive at the time, but I do believe it came with the entire offense still out there and when we weren't just trying to run out the clock.

This weird obsession you guys have for wanting to be "right". You didn't like a 6th round pick lol? Like really? Such a reach to write him off this year. Luepke is a full back not a tail back lol.

Not ready to call "bust" on Deuce...insufficient data. Love that Luepke made the roster...I've mourned the demise of true FBs in the NFL, as they can help a team in so many ways. Especially for one whose goal is to run the ball.

Luepke looks way ahead of vaughn in development. He looks ready to start now, excels when he get a snap.

Vaughn in this game had no where to go , blocking wasnt there on his snaps.
With him they need to get him thru the los for him to do anything, and preferably in space.
The pats have a good defense.

It does seem like some fans are always looking for an opportunity to say, "Told you so."
