Luuuuuuuuuuepke!

No matter what the Cowboys say or do, there will always be those that spin EVERYTHING negative!

ES is back and I told you so!


Love me some Spaceman.

I like what Luepke brings to the table. And if folks don’t think MM will use him.. all you have to do is look at how he used John Kuhn in GreenBay for years.

I’m not saying he’s going to blow your socks off with his play, yet he will be effective and productive when called upon.

One thing I’ve noticed ab Luepke is.. although he’s a bigger guy, he seems to have good vision and runs smooth, unlike a typically clunky FB. He has a chance to make team respect FBs again.

And he makes surprisingly agile cuts.

 

[TheMightyVanHalen]

248lb’s of running back. His worth will show itself in 2nd half of games. Just one more layer of the onion MM has to play with. Can’t wait to see Pollard, Duece and Luepke create havoc.

What are you thinking, brother... Tony and Deuce playing the role of Felix Jones in the 1st half and Luepke playing the closer like Marion Barber did? The defense will be tired from chasing Tony and Deuce all over the field.

One thing for sure the "u" letter on your keyboard is done for...

The keyboard may be crack underneath that particular one if it was repeatedly struck with Troll Vanquishing Fury strength.

 

[ESisback]

Funny because I was about to say that the comments have been incredibly optimistic about a player that surprised a lot of people by making the 53…….but I trust the coaching staff to know their stuff

I agree. I’m just talking about 6-8 posters who criticize every single thing Dallas does.

Loop reminds me of Garrison. I think he runs with that same tenacity.

Walt Garrison: probably (definitely top 5) the most unappreciated Great Cowboys Legend.
Played nine seasons - ONLY MISSED SEVEN GAMES.
NFL had 14-game seasons during the mid-60's through mid-70's when Garrison was with Dallas.
Maximum games in regular season -- 126; he played in 119 of them.
Also add in 15 playoff games (Cowboys were in the postseason the first eight years of Garrison's career).

 

[RoboQB]

He did well in short yardage situations against the Raiders.
Also, showed up in the passing game.
Why some fans insist on crapping all over players is a question that
may never get answered.
To some, it appears Luepke is the new LVE who was the new Jeff Heath... smh.
Solid players that were/are criticized every week for not being All-Pro.

 

[RonWashington]

Did you watch the Eagles on short yardage last year even once and how important always knowing they could convert it almost at will was to their offense? Or are you thinking just because he made the initial 53 that means Luepke is going to be an every down player

You’re talking the flying wedge with Hurts . No FB involved . Sure put the 140 $ Million dollar man behind 10 other bodies . First down .

And he makes surprisingly agile cuts.

Watched him thru college years.
He sidesteps in the A-gap better than most.

Emmitt lasted as long as he did by not being Marion Barber....

I want Hunter to have a normal life after football, while being super productive on the field.

Here’s proof that when someone tries to make a positive thread, the haters like this one just has to crap on it.

Seems to me that it's proof that no matter how innocent your post, the haters like you will try to spin it.

I know I've had to school you in the past but ya gotta let it go Rocky. You don't have to make up mindless drivel like this.

Just stating the truth. You reap what you sow.

You apparently don't know what the truth is then. And yes, I reap a bountiful harvest.

Official pre-draft weigh-in was 6-1, 234.

Rathman was a beast

That’s my point. He could be used as rathman was in the WC offense.

 

[plasticman]

What did they say about Cowboys FB Walt Garrison?

If you needed 2 yards for a first down, Walt would get you 3 yards.

If you needed 5 yards for a first down, Walt would get you 3 yards.

 

[zrinkill]

If he gets more than 2 touches a game the offseason is a massive failure.

Wow ...... This is a very biased take

 

[Pass2Run]

I think some are assuming since Luepke is being called a fullback, he's that old school lumbering back who had 5 carries and 6 catches in his career in college.
He ended his career at NDSU with 1665 rush yards on 274 carries, 6.0 YPC, 24 rushing TDs while catching 38 passes for 494 yards and 9 TDs. While those numbers don't guarantee he'll do anything in the pros, it's some type of evidence that he can actually run with the ball.

He lined up plenty of times at H-back in college and in the 3rd preseason game. Did people watch the game or his clips from NDSU?
He's more of a bigger RB than a "fullback". I'm not saying he's going to be part of the rotation, but I think if he does anything for this team it'll be more as a RB than inline blocker.

Is it just me, or does NDSU put out a lot of pro players?

 

[Ring6]

is it really pronounced with an "ooooo" sound? I keep hearing reporters say it more like "Lipke". Honest question.

 

[Bullflop]

I've already seen plenty of strength, speed, toughness and pure talent in Luepke to be extremely interested in him. I think he's a winner.
