2024 Cowboys UDFA Thread…

I want to not so secretly root for him again, but I have trust issues with the staff.

I really just hope he didn't have a chance last year because he really showed nothing with the carries he got.

Deuce Vaughn can be the next McCaffery. Yeah, I said it.

 

[NoDak]

Oh my.

 

[Genghis Khan]

You can’t get ahead your skis on Stephens either.

Maybe but we've at least seen him in a pro uniform.

That's the thing. I loved him when we drafted him, and I get we could have used him better..but he didn't show anything at all in the few opportunities he got.

It's not encouraging.

He had a shit line at the time.

He barely got any carries and the few he did, he didn't even have a chance. Wasn't it the Giants game where we were up like 40 points and he got several carries? The Giants knew we were running out the clock and stacked the line. He had nowhere to go. Emmitt in his prime wouldn't have gotten any yards on those plays.

Much more concerning for me is how few chances the coaches even gave him. I'm afraid the coaches see him as too small and won't even give him a shot.

And who knows, maybe they're right. Maybe he's too light to pass protect or whatever. But I still don't doubt that he can run the ball.

I mean in all fairness a 5'5" 176 pound dude scares me too. I don't care about being short but you'd like to see your RB at least pushing 200 pounds. But hey, right now he is my favorite RB on the roster. Which says less about him than it does about the other RBs. Hopefully he at least added some muscle mass in the offseason.

Yeah, we didn't draft a DT high but it is interesting that the two DT's we did bring in from the draft are your 330 pound type NT's. It is telling about the types that we brought in. I would have liked to see maybe a more complete DT brought in. Like a Keith Randolph, Gabe Hall or Leonard Taylor. Just because I think we are kind of naked behind Osa as well. I mean you do need a DT to generate a pass rush sometimes. And I hate relying on 265 pound DE's playing DT to do that. But it is what it is.

I want to believe it was the line or the coaches or Jupiter was in retrograde, I really do.

My favorite RB on the roster right now is Dowdle and that's terrifying because it doesn't mean I like Dowdle a whole lot.

I'm betting he gets cut in TC.

 

[Cowboysrock55]

I'm betting he gets cut in TC.

He is going to need a really strong preseason. If you don't have 1 or two really good backs then you're going to need 3 or 4 guys you can use. And last year we didn't think Duece was even worth using.

He either needs to show enough to warrant consideration for serious playing time or we need our third back to be more like Rico Dowdle. We will need a do everything guy for that spot because when Rico gets hurt, you can't role with fucking Zeke.

Would love to see him make that 2nd year jump but I think he's going to be too big a liability in pass protection. D Linemen are going to run right over him.

 

[Bill Shatner]

Maybe Deuce has hit the industrial strength roids and comes in at 5'5 200 lbs

 

[boozeman]

It appears that McClay has mastered the art of gaslighting too.

Do you not follow the company line if you wish to keep working for that company?
