Drafted by Cowboys RB Phil Mafah Clemson

[eromeopolk]

he is a BAD MAFAH.

shut your mouth

Luepke is better.

Im sorry my friend ...no he isnt

 

[Chocolate Lab]

He basically drafted like he is trying to replace him. Luepke was McCarthy's guy.

Maybe, but they're pretty different. Luepke is more of a swiss army knife -- can catch, block, play some TE/H-back. Mafah is just a big tailback.

Luepke better start doing it more than he has. He hasn't done enough.

Not really don't be delusional they're not bringing in two more free agent running backs.

Didn't say I expected it. Expecting it would be delusional. I'm saying I'd do it. We don't know how this running back group is going to sort out. I'd prefer that we not wait to find out if it is worse or better than last year's. See if Chubb can get back to his 5.0-per-carry form. See if Dobbins can stay healthy.

I was saying last season that I wanted us to use less two-tight end and more one-TE, one-FB formations because I thought Luepke offered more than any of our backup tight ends. He saw increased use, but I would like to see the fullback lead be a regular part of the running game. Tight ends just don't block the same as a fullback coming out of the backfield.

I would be against trading for Breece, now if they release him that is different. No need in trading picks (reason for no 4th this year), rather go with what we have.

Mafah is Brandon Jacobs 2.0 but in a Cowboys uniform.

 

[rambo2]

Want to see us go get Nick Chubb and JK Dobbins. Let them all fight it out and see who sticks.

Aren't they up to 7 backs already?

He could have done a lot if they didn't use Zeke last year and used Luepke instead.

 

[Aliencowboy]

Better runner than. Hunter Lepke IMO

 

[America's Cowboy]

Phil Mafah is going to tenderize and marinate opposing defenses, then Jaydon Blue is going to show up and cook 'em Texas BBQ style!

I think our starting back could come from another teams cut.

Williams likely starts the year if Blue doesn't.

With the current RB corp, it's very very unlikely any more FA's will be signed.

 

[big dog cowboy]

We better be trading for Breece.

Why?

You want to use a pick next year to trade for a player going into the last year of his rookie deal?

Javonte Williams
Miles Sanders
Hunter Luepke
Deuce Vaughn
Malik Davis
Jaydon Blue
Phil Mafah

Mafah is a nice pickup on Day 3. He’s a load with quick feet and not a lot of wear and tear. Would love to see him behind this oline.

Thats not how it works. No team has ever signed 4 veteran backs in addition to a 5th round rookie to "fight it out". Never been done and never will

I'm sorry my friend, he is.

Quick feet? Not what I'm reading. Sounds like a slug. Hey, maybe I got bad info, where'd you hear that he has quick feet?
