Disagree, Dowdle is a more dynamic runner in all aspects, and the only other RB on the roster that could potentially be a feature back.

I'm sure you do. You have the company line down. I hear Jerry's boots need some licking.

3 TE's and Luepke is the only scenario he makes it.

Outstanding hands, can block, can run with power. I hope that he makes the team.

You know kind of like will Greer they played against a bunch of scrubs hard to truly evaluate a player in that situation but I did like what I saw.
however, I agree and dare I say he looks a little like the moose?? I mean if you give this guy some really super old school old style oversized pads with moose's # on the back, you wouldn't much tell the difference... dare i lol ??
I believe you have to though go short at tight end if you're gonna do this and who else gets cut off the running back live but yes he's a short yardage back he's a goal line back he can get you some yards in the pass game and be the fullback that's pretty much gives him more value than say a fourth tight end.
I think all the fans all off season saying that they're very concerned about the running back room really haven't been watching I think this might be one of the most versatile running rooms we've had in a while and that we're not going to just be counting on one guy and if he gets hurt this season's over. I like what we have at running back right now.

Yes some of that may be true but sometimes you make a name for yourself when you have a show out game even if it's in preseason it gives you that edge over say a fourth tight end or another guy you might have been close to we do need a short yardage guy and he looks better than Malik when you're talking about goal line short yardage and he can go out and look pretty good in the pass game I mean he was making catches in his shoelaces and over his head.. So he's more versatile than Malik and he obviously can bring more to the game then eight fourth tight end that's what a game like that can do for a player he could have been on the bubble and now he's on the positive side..

The problem is you need another complete 3-down back to step in for Pollard. Yeah- Dowdle and Davis are JAG-ish, but neither Luepke nor Deuce are well suited for that role. (Between those 2, Luepke would be the better every down back because he can block and has power)
So the team needs to keep a RB2 that can step into Pollard's role. For now that's Dowdle, for better or worse. Pollard and Dowdle are locks.
The only way Luepke makes the final 53 is if the team keeps 4 RB, or if Deuce is cut to the PS. I think they've made up their minds to keep Deuce on the 53 (a late 6th has never made the team so easily) 4 RB seems to be the only way for Luepke to make the final roster. It would be tragic to lose him.

It's funny I've seen a lot of complaints about the running backs and from what I've seen is that they are in good shape at the position and will be in great shape in the future if they hit on Deuce and Luepke. A 6th rounder and an undrafted player will help bigtime with the salary cap.

they will go at least 3 TE's i can see Luepke getting basically a 4th TE/H back role in the 53.. I dont see a scenario we keep 4 TE's and Luepke.

Keep hammering the line and this kid could break them down by the middle of the 3rd quarter.
