Use Duece like Darren Sproles

[OmerV]

Again, in SF he would be a legit RB.

Maybe - obviously how someone is used can matter. But we really can't say that for sure

 

[Kingofholland]

I don't think the coaches know how to use him. Find ways to get him into space or misdirection runs. We haven't done either.

Deuce gets 1 carry and he doesn’t house it so he’s a no talent bum lol.

You guys are ridiculous.

The run game would be vastly improved with him taking Carrie’s over Elliot.

Sorry the error made me think of this, not sure why haha.

30 carries for 60 yards is hardly 1 carry not taken to the house. Most of us don't think he is a no-talent bum, just not an NFL-quality talented player. Though I agree we don't use a player like him correctly, I just don't think he is the "player like him" that can succeed at this level, most certainly not at anything close to a Sproles level (IMHO of course). That being said, it can't be any worse than Elliott unless we are using him at the goal line (which clearly we aren't at this point).

He literally could not possibly do any worse at all.

 

[Whirlwin]

Deuce was one of the best RBs in college football and destroyed top-10 ranked teams filled with future NFL stars on the regular.

One star probably on each team

 

[Whirlwin]

Put him with the Lions, he's going to be all world

That’s what happens when you have a great offensive line, put Prescott behind that line because he’s better than Jared Goff

 

[ColoradoCowboy]

Bye . No explanation just bricks . Must be a nostalgic Zeke a phant

Wow. That's a dumb statement, if you've seen ANY of my posts ever. I've saying for YEARS that Zeke never recovered from the bad advice that he got after his second year. He went for "Strong like bull" instead of "Speed of deer". Turned him into a slow, non-agile battering ram who took a lot of big hits; and he isn't really very good at THAT anymore either. Zeke's only big plus these days is that he is still an above average pass blocker from the RB position.

I haven't commented on Rico, but he certainly does NOT move the needle in any meaningful way. The definition of "JAG".

Vaughn and Leupke though... Those guys might have something if given a real opportunity, especially when used together. I've been saying this for a while too. Tatanka and Mighty Mouse!

They could make Zeke inactive, let Luepke do the coveted pass blocking and two-yard carries Zeke is doing, and give some snaps to Deuce who also would help on special teams.

But Zeke is Jerry's buddy and pet project... so no.

 

[TheCritic]

After Jerry's rant, I root for him the way WWE fans root for the heels. I hope Jerry comes out of the closet and comes clean about his hatred for Cowboys fans and comes out before every game and heckles fans with long-winded speeches about his superiority.

I am not a huge fan of Zeke and I think he is washed but I have seen nothing at all from Duece to indicate he is better in anyway to zeke, especially in pass blocking.

“ move the needle “. Maybe you haven’t checked the roster lately he’s all Dallas has this year . “Vaughn might have something”.

Dowdle doesn’t move your needle and Vaughn might have something . No wonder Jerry treats the fans like idiots .

 

[Cowboy4ever]

Have they used him correctly? If your answer is a HONEST "yes" then they need to cut him.

That's the problem. There is no way to Use him that makes sense. If all he can do is a swing or screen pass then he is useless. He can't run between the tackles. He is not all that fast so out side zone or sweeps are not very good for him either. He can't pass block. What made Sproles so good is that he was an actual running back that didn't have to be "used" a certain way to be effective.

I can for sure.

 

[Chasing6]

We all know this

I don't.

 

[atlantacowboy]

Great plan. Maybe they can use me like Troy Aikman and Coogiguy03 like Michael Irvin.

 

[OmerV]

I can for sure.

Facts are what you have seen happen - verifiable truth. Until then it is opinion/assumption. I've seen a lot of people claim things both as certain to succeed or fail where they were eventually proved wrong. That's happened to me, and I'm confident to all of us. Odds are if it was so clear as to be absolutely certain he would be a quality RB if used certain ways then some team would have seen that before the bottom part of the 6th round of the draft.

This would be ideal if Deuce was half the player Sproles was

 

[StarOfGlory]

Deuce was one of the best RBs in college football and destroyed top-10 ranked teams filled with future NFL stars on the regular.

I can give you a laundry list of college players that were top ten in their position that failed in the NFL.

Give him a chance. Scheme up some plays to make him effective. Nope. This coaching staff is inept

What plays they have for that kind of player are already going to Turpin.
