The TRUTH About Deuce Vaughn in 2024... 

I'm not mad with the AMOUNT of touches Deuce got but rather the overall quality, he got so few REAL opportunities. But with Pollard gone, might get a little more DEUCE ACTION BABY!

Agree with all you said and I’ll throw Hunter Luepke in that category, too. Once he fumbled, his season was basically over. To me, that’s TERRIBLE coaching. That’s one of the best ways to destroy a player’s confidence. This is all a big part of the reason why I am ready for a REAL HC.

The Cowboys do this a lot! They get players with real potential, but then never give them a chance to prove their worth, then cut them.

Deuced carved up NFL type players in college. This staff never wanted to play him. Its not his fault. Dude is good, needs reps.

Shanahan, McVay & McDaniel no doubt would make good use of his his abilities.

Deuce along with Turpin... Both are lightning in a bottle....⚡🍼⚡😜

Better O line better blocking especially get the FB involved with a 2 tide end set. Cmon Duece

I still have confidence in Deuce

I’m so glad you made this video. Not just Duece, but the whole running game was garbage. The coaches clearly had no plan, especially for Duece. I can’t be convinced he’s a wasted pick. He went from “featured back” in a good college program to clearly no idea what to do with him; that looks like bad coaching.

I do think Deuce Vaughn is a feature RB, he is a awesome three down running back. The Cowboys wasted him last year. This guy is built to not get hurt. So if they use him this year everyone will see how great he is. Deuce and Elliott will be great together this year!

Agree 1,000 %. Let him run behind the first team OL before writing him off. I loved him in college.

His college film is truly amazing. Duce wasn’t utilized properly not even given a fair chance, simply baffling. I know that critics will say that’s against college competition but how else do you choose draft picks other than the college film? He has to hit the weight room. Barry Sanders 5-8 , 203. Deuce 5-5 , 176. Darren Sproles 5-6, 190 Emmitt Smith 5-9 221

We need this guy ASAP, he gots talent

I like Duece bc it invites teams to blitz on passing downs bc he can’t pass pro. If Dak is as good as his #s v the blitz, it should work in their favor with the right play calls.

Fix the offensive line and deuce will run wild.

I agree, he got the ball on obvious run plays with stacked boxes, getting hit behind the line on most touches, I think he has big play ability and is a nightmare for defenders in the open field with one player to beat, very elusive guy, only draw back, not a good blocker on passing downs.

He was great in college . I don’t believe our RB1 is on the team rn . I could see duece as a rb2 change of pace back kinda like Tony pollard was when we had zeke . Good video , I don’t always agree with you but I like your consistency. Go Cowboys 🎉

As a North Carolina man that looks like a Charlotte UNCC shirt home of the 49ers but I certainly agree Deuce Vaughn does need more touches. Hopefully this year he gets that.

It wouldnt of mattered if we had Derrick Henry in the backfield the way Biadasz and Steele were getting their asz whooped run blocking. The run game is heavily dependent on the O-line. I want to see a O-line pick at 24 and a RB or LB pick in the 2nd round.

Personally i think the Cowboys missed an opportunity in the later portion of the season last year, to start getting Deuce more involved in the offense and start designing plays for his akill set. Get a change of pace back to go along with Deuce, someone to do the work in short yardage game and i could see DV developing into a real game breaker. Designed screens and even those cut back runs between the guard & tackles could be a gold mine for a compact speedster like Vaughn. I really hope they use the young man this coming season. Id love to see what he could accomplish and the effect it could have on the entire offense.

hope Deuce gets more touches in 2024

I was @ the Jets game, 1st home game of season for Dallas and got pretty close to field and saw Deuce running and he is almost like a Barry Sanders in open field. I seen a few burst runs and the kids got Hella talent 😀 I say use him this year for sure 👍 It's weird being so close and seeing how small he really is compared to the Jets D-Line 😮 I'm a Deuce Fan 💯 Also that was my first &last time going to ATT Stadium..$350 & couldn't hardly fit in seat, I snuck up as close as possible till I got BUSTED 😂

Let the man go and show us what he has, the season is a grind, we will be playing top notch teams this season. Gonna need to save the legs of the backs.

Dallas Offense is predicated as a passing West Coast style offense, The Run block Schemes are more complex,as a result,no Team Feared Our best RB's

disagree. dude couldn't get out of a tackle, period. the wind would knock him over. he is great in open spaces, but can't do anything when surrounded last year...doesn't matter who was blocking. he needs to get some bulk on him, which i sure hope he does cause when he gets in the open field, he can do some things.

Yes they need to use the fullback Hunter Luepke too. He is a really good FB. Cowboys need to use these guys a lot this year.

Thank you, and I got his rookie card sleeved up and kept in a safe place. I legitimately think he is going to be something special

I believe Deuce will be a great threat with Zeke back. Great 1-2 punch

Coaching Malpractice, give the guy a chance, design some plays to get him out in space. I'm with you he just needs quality reps! Use him like he was used in college, if the coaching staff doesn't see what you see then it's a wasted pick!

I think. He's good quick and fast hard to tackle. Give him a chance

Let's use what we have I'm not lying 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

i still believe Lupke would be a huge asset if given the right amount of play time.

Good context

In the right situation he could make an impact and have a role. Hope I'm wrong but I doubt it's here.

-McVay or shanahan would make deuce a borderline probowler. Give deuce more reps -It’s all about coaching/scheme

I like Deuce, the only thing about him is his size. Thats what made me really dislike Pollard bc he couldnt boulder through the defense. I would really like to see Deuce get more reps and same with Hunter Luepke. But if theydo want to go RB i believe Audric Estime would be a perfec fit for Dallas an im a lil upset no one is talking about him.

I’m totally for deuce being rb 2 or 3 but he needs more like 10 caries a game he need a a real chance and ik he wouldn’t disappoint

Him and Zeke is the one two punch the Cowboys need. They need to get Deuce out to open space, he seems to make big plays in open space. Zeke can be utilized in short third down/short situations. That can create a lot of success for the pass game if Dak can be on point.

For Deuce to be effective he has to be on the field most plays. Either in a run or pass. He can be a number 1 back if you don't telegraph his plays.

Deuce has major untapped potential. His diminutive size made it hard for defenders to find him and his electrifying burst of speed when breaking off of blocks makes defenders often take bad angles and miss. As you pointed out, playing behind the second string o line, in situations where opposing defenses stacked the box knowing they weren't going to throw the ball, would make it hard for any back, even the great Barry Sanders would have had a hard time getting yards in that scenario.

110% correct 👍👍👍👍👍

I'm thinking Zeke is getting 12-15 carries a game while handling the blitz pickup on obvious passing downs. I also think Jerry wants to air it out this year and see if Dak is worth 60 mil. Deuce fits into that picture by playing a Darren Sproles like role. If he gets 90 receptions for 750 yards plus 5-7 carries a game next season, he would have had a damn good year for that role.

Deuce isn't a starting back in the NFL. But his lack of production isn't his fault. The line didn't seem to have a cohesive plan to run the ball. Biadasz struggled and Deuce got garbage time reps. I believe that part of a players success or lack of is because of the coaches plan or lack there of for the player. They didn't plan for Deuce in the regular season. The question we need to ask is not if another back is going to replace Deuce but if someone like Malachi Corley is a better fit for the role

Blame the HC/OC for having no real belief in the running game last year. The OL was average at best and hardly featured anyone except TP

Thanks for the video. Most college players don't reach the NFL. That means that Deuce Vaughn spent much of his college career running against men who didn't have the physical tools or the talent to play for the NFL. In that scenario, a very small back has a better chance of beating those players and making good plays. In the NFL, he faces the fastest and strongest players. These are men who are better than some high percentage of the players that he faced in college. Even in the preseason, he's facing a lower quality of defender than he faces in the regular season. By the last preseason game, many of the players who will make the team are seeing limited playing time, and the ones on the field are the last guys fighting for the last spots on the practice squads. With his shorter legs and lower muscle mass, he may not have the physical tools to thrive in the NFL. Undoubtedly, some team would have taken a chance on him, but that doesn't mean that he has enough to succeed in the NFL. I hope that Deuce Vaughn will become a quality contributor to the Cowboys. I could see where he might get three to five touches each game and do good things with those touches. The problem is that if someone else is a better punt and kick returner, he's not going to be valuable on special teams. That makes him a guy who can only really be on the field five or ten plays each game. A player who has the potential to play ten to twenty plays each game, particularly taking over for another player who is injured, has more overall value. Maybe Deuce Vaughn will make the team again, but I won't be surprised if he ends up on the practice squad.

Gotta cut him slack when the defense knows it’s going to be a run. Still excited about his potential. Small shifty backs like him can make a good career. Im still hoping he can sorta be a Sproles like back at some point

Getting hit behind the line is never a good thing for any rb. The quality of touches you mention 100 percent makes sense.

I hope we give Deuce more touches this year man

Well, unfortunately, Tom Landry is passed away. He knew how to use players. The reason Jerry and Jimmy got so much for Walker in that trade was Landry knew how to use Walker and made him look like Superman. Andy Reid is a Landry-like coach, innovative, gets most from his players.

Finally somebody's talking some things how come we don't use the people that we have instead of going out there someone else let's use what we have specially Lance

If the Cowboys didn't have much Work for Deuce in the running game last Season then i felt like they Should have tried to Use him in the kick'off or the Punt returns for the Special teams Unit ! Especially after everyone have already Seen just how quick he is for his Size, the Cowboys need to find a legitimate Way to get the best Out of his athletic talents in a reasonable Manner.

💯% agreed‼️

Yea i dont like how theyre rushing to judgement on Deuce. I was getting in Voch and Sky for that

also pair him with Turpin on Kickoffs…he has special teams value as well

We NEED to utilize him the same way he was utilized in college. Get him into open space and if he's there, give him the ball. It will open up the field for Dak and make it tougher on defenses. I really like him. We need a heavy down-hill-running back like a Derrick Henry type to pair along with an elusive pass catching back.

Thanks for your analysis. I'm still hoping he'll be viable in the NFL.

It proves Dallas doesn't care about late picks anymore. I wish they would trade late picks more often there are a lot of teams that value them. Also hey the NFL isn't college son.

If they used him right in the system. McCarthy is all about passing, obviously with greenbay. Daks numbers were pretty, but no rushing threat offense. More balanced with the defense they had would have gave them better opportunity. 2014 offense with the new defense as of late would have been huge. I think DQ got a fat offer and helped laid that turd against GB in the playoffs.

Deuce Vaughn deserves a chance. He has talent.

YOU NEED TO BE A T.V. SPORTS COMMENTATOR 🤗 YOU SURE TALK GOOD ENOUGH SIR

As a kstate and cowboys fan I feel like he wasnt utilized in unison with his capabilites. He could do a lot at kstate especially out of nothing but that was college. Cowboys need to find his niche and make that his role.

I hope Deuce grows a foot and a half in the off season. I hope 1 day Cowboys win the SB again. I hope JJ sells the team. I hope everything good happens for everyone. I hope, I hope I hope.

The only way Vaughn will help with a championship is on the practice squad. Only reason he made the 53 was because of daddy. He carried the ball 23 times with a whopping 40 yards. He was demolished when he tried to run (especially against New England) and couldn’t pass protect what so ever. He was a good college back but the nfl is a different monster and it showed last season. Now we have to rely on Rico since the the team felt they are solid at RB going into the 2024 season 😔🤔

I completely agree with you. It’s hard to run. The ball with no holes are being opened up by your second and third string offensive lineman. You’re not gonna look good. I don’t care who you are a second and third string offensive line.

Cowboys will be lucky to make the playoffs this year, at least they'll avoid that first round heartbreak...

They never really gave Deuce a chance.

I want to see in preseason what happens with deuce. I also want to see if he adds any quality weight.

I agree go deuce 🙌🏿

Luepke and Deuce never got a chance to show anything

Calling it now, we won’t utilize deuce at all and he will go to another team and be a difference maker, not saying he’s gonna be RB1 on another team but I bet they will utilize him way better then the cowboys.

They absolutely have to use him right. He's A Darern Sproles type. Gadget back.

💯🎯

Play him behind the OL-1s some and see a huge difference.

Somone would of drafted him but would they have played him is the question. If you can play and be productive a team is going to play you.

Wait when they drafted Cooper beebe they said he would be a great fit for duece. So it sounds like they are planning to use him in the up coming season.

They didn't give him the ball enough he is great fast keep him

You made too much sense. They’re going to be mad at you! 😂

We Need A Better O-Line So The Deuce Can Run Wild

Good video bro our line been trash every since Travis Frederick retired and Ronald Leary left cause Jerry didn’t want to pay him. Once those guys left every running back we had got tackle before the could get going. A trash line means trash yards 🔥💪🏾💯

I personallly did not agree with dallas drafting him. I am sure he is a great young man but the speed he had in college is not the same in the nfl. I saw huge defensive lineman tackle him from behind and being tackled down field from behind. He is too small and a blocking liability. I believe dallas could have picked him up as an UDFA but i believe because Duece's dad is on staff they drafted him. Probably an outstanding practice squad player but definitely not a starter.

It had nothing to do with him running or catching he missed so many blocks one play he absolutely watched the blitzing LB run right by him he was lost on assignment he's gonna be a lot better this year him and lepke will in more rotation

0:30 how is he a wasted pick if they didn't use him much? 🤦🏾‍♂️

Vaughan will be a practice squad player this year.

in deuce we trust

Deuce will be just fine

They didn't play him because they wanted to preserve his practice squad status last year

It seemed like more of a connection pick than a talent pick, lets treat it as all the others , production , and there was no production in this pick .

Yeah to much PAMPERING IN DALLAS DEUCE WAS ON THE SIDELINES AN DAK KEPT TRYING TO DO SAME THING HE CANT FIGURE OUT WHY WHY JONESS BROTHERS 😢😢😢

No Deuce wasn't a wasted pick. He's 1 inch shorter than Darren Sproles for those who say he's to small. He simply wasn't used correctly. That happens frequently in Dallas in many positions. Use him properly and he will ball. Keep in mind folks saying this was a feel-good pick or he was only picked because of his father is nothing more than feel good fodder when you say it! It wasn't his father or a feel-good thing that made him a standout in college!

Utilizing Deuce correctly, would require imagination, call McCarthy anything you want, but imaginative would never be one of those things.

Deuce 🔥

Everyone also complaining about players not getting a chance but we only see him for a few hours a week. The coaches see them for days every week. If they thought he was the man, he’d be playing on Sunday. I was at training camp last year and everyone was hyped about seeing this kid. Meanwhile I was telling my kids to pump the brakes on maybe the fourth string running back.

He didn’t have help from the offensive line or scheme by bug mike but he also didn’t really show nothing outside of the preseason.

He’ll be on the practice squad. He wouldn’t have a real opportunity until turpin leaves. Let’s be honest. The Deuce pick was more of a feel good story than a quality pick.

People talking shit and I said it before he barely got an reps I'm curious what they do with him this season and after that we can go from there. Because yeah 23 reps not Even 50 reps his rookie season

The Cowboys' offensive line was terrible at blocking against the run. Pretty much all running backs are trash if you can't block for them. Spend two top-100 picks on big, physical offensive linemen with a high run-blocking grade. Also, bring back Bill Callahan as our offensive line coach.

Why the cowboys didn’t get Derrick Henry? They let him go to the ravens

Need a coach that doesn't run him up the middle. Scheme for the players we have, how about that?

Most of his plays they ask him to be a pass blocker for some reason just dumb coaching

sounds like jerry jones is playing coach again!!!
