Dude has been a nice player all year, and has produced nicely when given the ball. Did he even get any touches yesterday? What do we have against this young man that we won't use him?
Frickin' weird.
I betcha he would've done better than Zeke's 3 yards on 4 carries in the 1st qtr.
As a pure RB, Luepke is better than Zeke today. Maybe Zeke still pass blocks better than Luepke, but that's it.
I went to the Cowboys Raiders preseason game. Watching pregame and game, Zeke was completely loafing and unfocused. Old guy collecting a check and knows it. We would be so much better with a young PS player who would at least be giving it his all with his chance.
Fun factoid about Luepke. PFR has a "success%" stat. Luepke is highest on the team, rushing *and* receiving. He's coming along quite nicely as the next Jeff Heath of the team. GOAT!

As for "weird", I had to stop myself from going full "Hitler in the bunker" metaphor earlier. Though after Jerry going unhinged on the radio today, deep faking Jerry into the Hitler Rant is just money on the street waiting to be picked up.
