What if Deuce Vaughn runs wild tonight

[kskboys]

But he did have 2 very similar carries earlier in drive, both for 1st downs... Dak & Luepke were fine on those
Thats why i think the goalline was a split second decision by Dak, caught Luepke off gaurd....but he has to ready...
To many variable.. never know
Good no under the bus caualties

If Luepke would've been getting 3-5 carries per game, and I see no reason why he shouldn't have, this fumble would not have happened.

 

[Kwyn]

Pet cat or not, I don't understand the angle that Vaughn is a "bust" since this will only be the 7th game he's been active for.

He was a 6th round pick. Nobody should have expected more anyway. Meanwhile the 4th round pick (Viliami Fehoku) and 5th round pick (Eric Scott) picked BEFORE Deuce have played a grand total of zero games between them.

Fehoku of course suffered that phantom "injury" when Dallas needed a roster spot.

I certainly dont think he’s a “bust”. That term shouldn’t be used for a sixth round pick.

The reason that Luepke didn't get carries earlier was that they were saving it for later in the season to show something new.

Agree.

Anything after the 3rd is a drunk dart throw in a crowded bar. W/ a drunk chick hanging on each arm.

 

[visionary]

“Runs wild”? You mean 8 rushes for 15 yards?

That means this org is dumber'n dirt.

Actually, it doesn't.

 

[Mcsports]

We will Babe Ruth our running game tonight. We'll line up, point to the gap we're going through, hand it off to Deuce and they won't be able to stop it.

That works against the Cubs

I can't wait for the tush toss where they just pick him up and throw him over the line of scrimmage into the end zone

thats a good one.

 

[krs1bro]

Exactly! He needs work just like any other back. He was scary good in preseason, all he needs is the ball in space. And for anyone saying he played against 3rd stringers in preseason, remember he also had 3rd stringers blocking for him.

They need to have the golf cart close by when he gets shaken like a rag doll!!

 

[EPL0c0]

He won't. None of the RBs will.

Dallas has been unable to reliably run the ball for 2+ seasons

 

[Risen Star]

“Runs wild”? You mean 8 rushes for 15 yards?

Yeah but you have to adjust that to height.

Inch for inch, Deuce Vaughn is the best back in the league.

 

[sacase]

He's shown nothing at all. Why this fantasy persists I don't know.

 

[GMO415]

He's actually playing?

 

[Big D]

What if the Cowboys actually give this guy a legit opportunity and he runs wild tonight..

It would not surprise me in the least either.

If Dallas gives him a decent workload he may be all we are talking about after this game tonight.

It would be nice to see but a decent workload is like 20+ carries. There's no way they give him that. We might not give all of the RB's combined 20 touches.

20 Carries is not typical for a modern day RB.

 

[Eddie]

I love what-if posts. My life is filled with what-ifs.

 

[CATCH17]

This is the question I have for all of these guys who have settled opinions one way or another right now about Deuce. There is NO possible way to have an accurate opinion of him from what we’ve seen. He’s hardly has any PT with the starters. And when he has, it’s been in garbage time vs 8-9 guys in the box.

It’s not that hard to project RBs imo.

We know what he’s good at and not good at.

If he gets past line of scrimmage he’s a big problem.

 

[Mr_437]

Deuces wild...LFG!!!

 

[Tommy]

Deuce is a between the tackles runner first and foremost.

Of course he needs blocking but once he gets to the 2nd and 3rd level he can do a lot with not a lot.

That’s kinda what the Cowboys need right now.

I thought you couldn’t wait to get rid of Ezekiel Elliott because we needed more Pollard. Now we need more Vaughn instead?

 

[charron]

This will not be a deuce break out game. He ain't ready.
