Do not get rid of Luepke

[Mr_437]

He for sure can play fullback. It's definitely in his skill set.

I hope your right if they keep him because it would add another dimension to the offense because he'd be more of a threat than McKeon at FB. It's just I've seen McKeon block DEs and that's a luxury to get from a TE.

Yeah it's kind of crazy that hendershot kind of fell off I thought he had some potentially starting to remind me of jarwin he flashes here and there but disappears I'm curious if he makes the team this year over McKeon because I believe McCann is a better blocker correct I mean I'm not sure how they feel about them because you almost have not heard his name and seen much of hendershot all offseason and in preseason which is weird... But I do like what I've seen out of Ferguson I really believe he's a starter he's gonna be better than Dalton and so far it looks like at least screen maker his foot 's better and now we'll see what he can do in real games..

I'd try some punctuation within your stream of consciousness posts.

Or, "Voice to Text" isn't your bag.

Why dowdle he provide nothing

you have to be able to use jones boy logic to figure out that.

I like Luepke, got a little Christian McCaffrey in him of that style. Unfortunately, he plays a position that is pretty full in Dallas.

Christian McCaffrey???? What game were you folks watching????

Practice squad player. Maybe he gets called up later in the year.

What sold me was the pass catching last night and the nice block to protect the qb.

Did you just gloss over the ‘little’ part or just wanted to jump in for a chance to ridicule? His game style reminds me of McCaffs game but to a much lesser degree. I even hinted at the fact that he won’t be on the 53

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.

Don't see how. Re strictly power running, Dowdle is not even close.

Don't see feature back when I watch Dowdle. I see JAG. If he had all this feature back potential, someone would've picked him up. I've never paid much attention to him as he has all the signs of a career backup, but didn't we cut him last year? It was Davis, Z, and Pollard on the roster, right?

 

[kskboys]

L O L based on what exactly?

I truly don't get the Dowdle love. I didn't think he'd make the team, until I saw Davis was worse.

 

[XXLMike]

If we cut Luepke he’ll wind up with the Packers, or the Giants, and come back to haunt us.

Or worse, he gets picked up by SF or Philly, and they immediately plug him in.

Thinking Dowdle was IR'd, hurt in preseason

Could be. I just don't think much of him, so I'm afraid I didn't pay much attention. It says he was available for 5 games last year.

Pollard & Dowdle are both good at pass blocking.

Since when has Pollard been good at pass blocking? That's always been the big knock on Pollard.

Last year he graded out better than Zeke. He was good.

 

[buybuydandavis]

Highest non OLine pff blocking grades during preseason for what its worth. Played ST.

MM has always used that type of hybrid FB/rb well.

Crossing my fingers

With ST play, Luepke is becoming a threat to push Dowdle off the roster too.

The ideal would be Pollard, Luepke, and Deuce for gameday actives. I think they're close.

Dowdle got the roster spot over Davis last year, then got injured and put on IR.

My hope was that by next year, Luepke and Deuce push Davis and Dowdle off the roster. But now, I don't think Davis and Dowdle make it til the end of the year. Maybe not to the start of the season.

I'm big on complementary backs. 2 legit RBs on the field. Both Luepke and Deuce give us that in a complementary role.

Giggity.

Now I just need me some Bostick as short yardage TE. Maybe next year.

 

[krs1bro]

Luepke reminded me of Moose Johnson a little last night. Lets see how he does against 1st stringers and I'm all in with this kid. I'm starting to like this pic, 2nd round TE, Shoonmaker. WR group is stacked with good players.
Tough cuts ahead for sure.

I have not seen a lot of Hendershot in the preseason. But I also have not been watching it closely. Is he being hung out to dry. Either they already know they are keeping him or already know he is gone. If they keep the FB then they have to lose a TE or try to slip one on practice squad. But like I said I am not keeping up with the preseason games.

 

[Scotman]

can't get on board with that

I totally understand...and you're probably right. For me, he isn't much worse carrying the ball and he's a bigger, better blocker and receiver.

Great tape and analysis on Luepke
