Why doesn't Hunter Lupke get carries?

[kskboys]

The vast majority of the time a person doesn't get game touches is because they're not very good, or others are better.

Just because Pollard and Dowdle have had issues in short yardage doesn't mean Lupke is automatically superior to them in the coaches evaluation. When you're trying to win a game it's not a great time to experiment.

OK, but we've blown out how many opponents?

on goal line how far does he need to run?

You need to be fast and explosive to the hole at the goalline. He's neither.

I like how people think the staff has this goalline weapon and they're just choosing not to use him lol.

They also picked up a stud FB from ASU a few years back who they never used....it is weird. We are ALWAYS afraid to work guys in, while teams like Green Bay will use EVERY WR on their roster.

There’s a reason so few teams use FBs as ball carriers. The few that exist either block or catch screens.

OK, I don't understand what you're trying to say here.

And those whom choose to believe the coaching staff is using all of their players in the correct way well open your eyes.

It's better than...

....blind faith with 0 evidence.

There is absolutely nothing to suggest that Luepke is a good enough athlete to be a productive runner in the NFL, short yardage or otherwise. He went undrafted and has failed to carve out a role on a team that struggles to run the ball. People talk about him like he's Eddie George.

I think that 2 and 3 are on the way.

You're so negative, what a stupid take on this player!! It's really 3-4!!!!

Laughter...No he is not Eddie George. But ok I defer to you maybe he isn't good enough. Romo was once not good enough as I recall.

Because he's still an inexperienced college kid

 

[links18]

They don't trust him not to fumble the ball?

 

[Toro9]

It's frustrating. He must not be showing up in practice running the ball. Only explanation I can think of

Obviously lol

Is there a reason we dont see Hunter Luepke getting any carries in short yardage situations? I don't get it.It seems like he could be an asset in certain situations.

I wish they would run him more!
