Our Best RB

[America's Cowboy]

Abnormal? You give a good back more chances, they excel. EG: Rico. And he’s an average back of speed and agility.

BOOM!!!

 

[loublue22]

there better be three new backs on this roster in the fall

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Had one real drive. Sad. I like Rico, but the home run back is Duece.

Ok let's be honest with ourselves about this team and our running backs.........

They aren't really good.

Yes Rico had 1k yards and that is an accomplishment.

But look at who he ran on....he struggled against the better defenses and for good reason. The offensive line wasn't good enough to block for him.

And I agree Deuce should've got a chance but typically its for good reason. The reason why guys like Deuce and Lance haven't played? They aren't very good. They looked decent against a decent Commanders team who had nothing to play for.

 

[KJJ]

The dude had 2 series today. And had more speed and explosion than any back on either team.

He only got two series because they don’t have confidence in him. He’s had 40 career carries and never had a run longer than 12 yards.

I mean truthfully. I'd draft two running backs but realistically go draft someone, sign a vet.....maybe bring Rico back.

But we are better than this. Cowboys have a rich history of running backs and we are resorting to rooting for a 6th rounder and a undrafted rookie free agent who we signed 5 years ago is not IT.

Multi-year 1k+ runner in college at a major Big School 1A college.

Not his fault these idiots coaches refuse to use him.

How many NFL players sucked in college? Thanks for showing what a great college player he was. Not too many bad college players get drafted though.

He's just not a NFL back. Everyone knew it which is why they passed up on him. He's a guy easy to root for and I want to see him succeed but I don't think its gonna be in the NFL.

Deuce Vaughn's rushing stats today vs Commanders 1st string Defense:

6 rushing attempts, 37 yards, 6.2 yards/carry average.

Yeah, what a bum. He sucks.

Don't forget...He stoned Warner (241) and Ferell (265) when he had to pass protect.

You know, do what most of his critics said he couldn't do a million times since he was drafted.

He sure didn't look a liability to me putting those big guys down.

Nope. They are too stupid to know how to use him.

He was drafted for publicity. Helping the team is just an afterthought to these people.

 

[Hardline]

The only reason Deuce is on this team is his dad is a team scout.

You are implying Deuce is a bad player simply because he has no production to support he is a good player. It's not his fault these coaches don't know how to use him. If Deuce truly was bad, he wouldn't have averaged over 6 yards per carry after 6 carries against a playoff bound team who has a pretty good defense.

 

[NDGAEDE]

It actually is a shame he never got any playing time. He can play. His instincts are amazing, he's tough, has burst, and can get good gains with even just a little bit of space

 

[sbark]

I’m not saying he’s an every down back. But he should be on the field 40% more than he is

Lol
40% more
25 snaps this year x 1.40 .....35 snaps

The Deuce critics in this thread saw Deuce stonewall both Warner and Ferell. Ironic how they aren't mentioning that while continuing to insinuate that he isn't an NFL capable RB?

Rico is good at everything but not great. I'd let him test the market and match what I expect to be a reasonable deal. Then go get a stud in the draft. Deuce can be our third string back if we have coaches who can figure out how to utilize him.

I don't get the Vaughn stuff. I like the guy but i'd be more concerned with trying to get Luepke and Turpin involved in the offense then Vaughn. Turpin is who people think Vaughn is. He has elite speed.

Rico is not bad but like you said he's not great at anything and that's fine. But we can do better there.

Vaughn's blocking isn't the issue. His size is.

 

[Aven8]

These dumb coaches don't know how to use Deuce.

That’s why you have to get a stud OC.
