What up with Luepke

[cowboys5xsbs]

There have been talks of giving him a bigger role but so far his preseason has been a nothing so far. Is it all smoke and mirrors or are we saving him to have a bigger role in the regular season. The lack of usage is really confusing me.

I thin he is safe.Guys who should be worried about are Deuce and Hendershot.I we keep Freeman then its hard to justify keeping Deuce.

I'd assume he is in fact safe. But last year he didn't play till game 3 iirc.

My feeling is that McCarthy will show very little of the offensive playbook. I have watched both games and it’s extra vanilla. Looks like they are trying to review some players and youngsters but are not opening up the playbook at all. I don’t think HL will get anything special in the preseason.

Deuce was very good last night. He is probably a keeper.

Luekpe will hopefully be used more this year. Get him the ball in space. Maybe some dump offs over the line. He is a big dude and can be a hammer.

Luepke was in there when Rush was at QB as a classic fullback if I recall correctly.

I also heard he was getting tight end reps at practice so the coaches might have an expanded role for him planned.

I don’t see why they would keep Freeman over Deuce though.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

I don’t get why a guy like Luepke isn’t getting more reps especially to see what he can do.

I agree ,we cant keep both.Freeman can remain on the PS and nobody is touching him.

Makes me wonder if they don’t keep a fourth TE.

Hendershot is too good to just toss away but that room is crowded. Maybe someone will part with a 7th for him.

Freeman helps on special teams as a coverage guy. Really can only use Deuce as a RB and sometimes return guy.

Yeah, Deuce has really good vision and he is difficult to see behind the line. I thought he did well and is worth keeping.

This is where I feel differently than other commenters I’ve seen here.

Freeman and Zeke are the same kinda player to me. You can throw Davis into that category as well.

On the other hand, Dowdle and Deuce have legitimate playmaking ability.

I think it’d be silly for the team to carry Dowdle, Zeke and Freeman over Vaughn. You absolutely need home run hitters in todays NFL, guys who can get chunk yards on offense, and those two guys are Dowdle and Vaughn.

Hendershot and Zeke can both go IMO..

Lolololol. Are you serious right now?

They’re not playing him because the rest of the league would just quit.

Admittedly I don’t know much about freeman but Duece is meh. He’s a gadget guy not much more

He can’t block , he has to he in space to be effectice
hes shifty I’ll give him that but I just have not been impressed with him

In fact I’ve been pretty unimpressed with the entirety of last years draft

I agree there.

Yeah but I can find coverage guys anywhere. It’s not ideal to be a backup rb and not play special teams but I can be ok with it if Deuce can carve out a solid role on offense.
