Stock up/down

Which in today’s football is as important as waterboy. Or girl
Running backs are a dime a dozen. Fullbacks are not.

Juszczyk, Ingold, Ricard, and yes, Luepke, make contributions that most fans don't even understand.

Doesn't matter because the coaches absolutely love and value Luepke.

in 2025 Luepke averaged 15 snaps per game on offense which is more than I would have guessed.
- He averaged less than 2 touches per game.
- Total Receptions = 13
- Total Rushing Attemps = 16

Believe me I understand that in pre-2000 football the fullback was necessary. In today’s football, not a chance. Look at the teams of the guys you named? How many championships did they help those teams win?

There's only one football.

Unless there are significant injuries, Brown and Mingo will probably have 10 catches combined the entire year.
 
Nice post. Agree with every bit except Blue. I think he makes the 53. He won’t be here if he doesn’t and I don’t think they want to pull the plug just yet.

What I can’t see is cutting a guy like him or Trigg for Lupke, and then never play Lupke. I can see that happening.

There’s usually plenty of phantom injuries and/or side deals that we aren’t privy to. If they end up losing a player or two, maybe that’s a good thing.
For Blue, his whole off-season training should have been lower body, buttocks back work.

It's all he needs.
 
Mind you I only watched the first half:

Up:

Barham- he’s the MLB we need. Move Agent Zero back to WLB where he belongs and let’s roll.

Milton - Love his development. Enjoy the practice squad Howell.

Mingo- He is making the team. Whenever he gets good QB play he shows out. And he’s a beast on ST. Do we keep 6 or try to sneak Brown onto the PS or fake an injury to stash him?

Thomas- from my untrained eyes he looked much better on the right side. I wouldn’t be upset if he took Steele’s job. At least there is potential upside.

Davis - the clear RB 2. I think we go light and just keep him and Williams (and Hunter). Try to get Blue/Mafah/Izzy onto the PS.

Revel - future star

Down:

A few rookies need a redshirt year. Shelton and Moore and Smith.

Blue - see above. Just don’t see him making the 53.

Again, I only watched the first half.
Very fair assessment.
