Our Best RB

[kskboys]

Who's successful in this NFL at his size? Everyone keeps saying just put him in space. If you have to "use a guy the right way" how good is he for your offense? That sounds like someone that's limited in the success they can have. Meanwhile I have guys like Luepke and Turpin who need more touches and have shown they can play in this league.

Emmit had to be used the right way.

Very few backs can produce when "not used the right way."

 

[cowboyec]

our best RB is not on this roster.
he's getting ready for the pre-draft process...unless he's in the cfp.

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

They could have played all year with Rico, Luepke, and Vaughn with no , Zeke.

What is the right way?

 

[rambo2]

What are the chances that Deuce makes it 17 games before he is broken in half?

Pretty good if he is on the team next year.

Home run back?

He ran a below average 40 time coming out.

And he doesn’t have power.

You gotta have one or both to be a “home run back”

I wish they would have just given Duece on quarter at least to play fully. He would have broken some good runs. How can a back heat up only given a couple plays

i wish they would have given duece at least one full quarter of play. He would have broken off some good runs. How can a back heat up given only a few plays

I forgot Luepke was even on the team until today. He somehow got phased out of the offense. He easily could've got those reps they were giving Zeke.

Just a silly ran team.

I can't believe our GM tried to tell us about the good film Zeke put out last year and how he's still a quality back. Lol

Just watch the tape. All your answers on Vaughn are right there. 4800 yards is a lot of yards.

Leupke, Turpin, Schoon, Tolbert....all players that need more snaps and are all players mismanaged by McCarthy. Just like Rico, Bass, Golston and Hoffman showed they can play those guys can also.

I'd rather saw Deuce get Zeke's carries.

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

Not his fault these idiots coaches refuse to use him.

Mishandling of personnel seems to be a hallmark of this coaching staff. They didn't use Zeke enough in short yardage nor Luepke once they moved on from Zeke.. They have the receiver who hit the fastest MPH in the league this season on the roster and rarely send him deep. It's maddening. And the biggest reason why they have to go.

Yeah needing to be in the right situation to maximize one's talent should not be construed to be a negative as it often is.

 

[darthseinfeld]

You tell me who was the more explosive back?

Dowdle

Yep I've been saying that for years.

 

[cwbyfan72]

Dowdle

Hahaha! Really? He’s more powerful. But has nowhere near the burst through the hole that Duece does.

Not only that but told us we had some plays for Luepke…..where the hell were they lol?

Derrick was the RB we needed and Jerry failed to deliver.

No offense bro but all them stand still shotgun handoffs with defenders in the backfield before he got the ball would have made King Henry into "The Little Prince" Henry. Henry should send Jerry a thank you card for not signing him.

 

[SlammedZero]

I have one foot in each camp. He’s not someone you’d want handling the bulk of the carries, but he does have the ability to make plays. It feels like the coaching staff hasn’t given him enough opportunities to build momentum. Yesterday, they did, and I think he performed solidly against Washington. He could definitely be more effective as a gadget player than how he’s been utilized so far.
